AJ, not lumping, promise. I LOVE J-Hud! I see her as someone who has said, “hey, I’m religious but I am also respectful of all people gay and straight and have nothing but love…” Mandisa, needs to look into that attitude.
oh, and the song is still bad…
The “Gaynazi patrol” doesn’t bring people down – they bring awareness that ignorance against people of any sexual preference is WRONG!
Speaking of OT: Did anyone here make it to DC’s Capital Pride event this weekend? Though I’m straight (and married), I marched in the parade with my boss and tossed out green mardi gras beads to the audience which the mayor of DC had dropped.
I gotta say folks came out to represent! If I didn’t fully believe the 10% number before, I do now.
The point is, folks can hate on gays all they want, but the LGBT community isn’t going anywhere. The rest of us better find a way to tolerate, or we’ll make ourselves miserable.
The controversy may have died down (because she’s really a nobody), but it’s still the first thing I thought when I heard her name mentioned again. She’s a homophobe, plain and simple, and we don’t have time for such hate nowadays.
Simon–SIMON! Why you gotta go and mention that horrible, horrible dude with the “dubut release” again?!? PLEASE don’t give him any more of the attention he’s desperate for; he doesn’t deserve it.
Guess what, Sally? You’re a bigot!
“(Need I remind you of Season 6 auditioner ****’s recent debut release?)”
Need I edit your posts about him any more? The guy is annoying and delusional, but despite not needing to give him the attention he’s screaming out for, he’s obviously got a social disorder. I find it just as bad to make fun of him as some of the other auditioners.
Mandisa’s new book was written with her bigot hero Beth Moore. So, the unfortunate things she said that everybody forgot? Consider this your reminder.
Maybe if Mandisa could claim through any sort of serious rational study that Jesus was definitely the Messiah that the Jews had been expecting and that those who believe in him go to heaven when they die, she could sing this song. And now, unfortunately, people who here this song might believe what she believes, too. We need to stop believing what we’re told when we’re young and, instead, be rational and use our minds, rather than succumbing to the voices that tell us not to be rational and just to be faithful. We’re rational about everything else – why not about the veracity of religion? Plus, the song is by-the-numbers and sounds cheap.
here = hear
“J.Hud has given anything but thanks and love to her “gay boys,” the gay fans who have supported her, and promised in an interview with a gay mag that there would be material just for them on her upcomign album”
What does this mean? They need special “gay” songs from J Hud? Does that mean that she, as a supposedly hetero woman, will be singing about getting together with another woman to please her listening audience. Or will she sing about two men falling in love and hooking up? I don’t get it. Music is music.
I think it’s a great song. It’s light, it’s breezy, it’s memorable. It sure ain’t the Beatles, but as far as this song goes, I don’t think it’s as craptastic as a lot of the haters on this thread make it out to be.
Mandisa looks beautiful in this photo. You cannot make people accept what they do not want to. I believe she should have kept her opinions to herself because she was in front of millions every week. She is a vocalist with a booming voice, can’t take that away from her.
And yes, most gay men love fat women. What is up with that?
re: Sally Thu, Jun 14, 2007 “I for one am sick of the Gaynazi patrol trying to bring everybody down. A lot of black people are just “tolerant” we don’t have to love gay people, which is what they want us to do”
I believe that same “tolerance” from white people is what black people have been fighting for 40 years? Can you imagine Chris Sligh saying “I admit black people exist, but I wouldn’t play one of their events” Check yourself Sally, we do not want love — we want FULL equality and integration in society.
I find it interesting that the LGBT community demands “tolerance” and “acceptance” of anyone who doesn’t see sexuallity their way (as if sexuality alone defines the whole of a person), yet is lightning-quick to display intolerance and rejection to them if they don’t receive it. One can’t demand what one refuses to give. And one of the wonderful things about the U.S. is the First Amendment…
