Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Gone are the days when “celebrities” dominated one particular area. They’re now setting their sights on controlling all forms of entertainment.
Take for instance, Leighton Meester. You’re probably asking, “WHO?!” But she’s an actress on Gossip Girl. I’ve never seen the show, so I can’t comment on how great an actress she is. One thing’s for sure, though: if this music video is any indication of her singing abilities, she’s not much of a singer. In fact, she doesn’t really sing with her monologue verses easily trumped by blue-eyed soul crooner Robin Thicke.
There have been many actors who’ve tried their hand at singing. Some have succeeded, but many make for a great punchline. My point is instead of trying to take over, go with what you know and do what you do well.

I’ve seen her name, but wouldn’t have been to tell you what she looks like. I tried to listen to the song. Didn’t get too far into Robin Thicke’s verse.

First, I love the font you’re using on this joint. Secondly, let it be known that she’s gotta be dumb. Music doesn’t pay like it used to, and her inability to see that is wack as now. Everyone knows Gossip Girl isn’t about acting, but about acting out. People can try to expand their horizons, and much props to them, but if they’re easily replicated, then they’re not worth the CD their digital format’s laser-ed on. Word.
