White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    Diva covers of songs that don’t fit the emotional tone of the song because they’re too busy showing off their vocal cords.
    And people who love these songs.

    I can’t currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
    or particular songs, but I’m quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
    turning “Jingle Bells” into Aretha Franklin’s “Dr. Feelgood”.
    The only particular song I can come up with, is Michael Bublé’s “cry me a river”
    and whoever plays the instruments during his version,
    so this is not just a mostly female phenomena.

    [edit] I’m pretty sure it’s Ariane Grande now.
    Great singer but not very adaptable.
    And probably missing the point of Mariah Carey’s christmas song popularity,
    the original one as I’ve just seen newer Hallmark music video
    where the video theme no longer matches the song.
