i'm so surprised that this kid made it this far... it shows me that people actually vote for looks rather than talent... i know he's the only rapper on the show but he isn't even decent... first of all he has no flow... second, his lyrics are horrible... i remember him saying somethin about tony the tiger cuz he's great or something like that and something about an energizer bunny... wtf is he trying to prove... is he rapping for little kids who's just starting to read dr. seuss books??... he thinks he's hardcore because his crew is on the show supportin him... just ridiculous... everytime he performs, i feel embarrassed for myself just watchin him... i'm pretty sure this kid can't even perform a freestyle battle... cuz almost every rapper knows how to do that... i'm a true hip hop fan, and rapping is all about flow and creative wordplay with the lyrics... i mean i could just sit down for 5 minutes and write better lyrics than him... if he wants recognition, he should go to a mc battle or something like that... not fame
You're both preaching to the choir here on this forum. Most of us feel the same way. The question is, why do the judges encourage him instead of tell him the truth?
They don't even point out the lack of flow in his style.
It appears to me the judges don't want to be tough on the contestants in an effort to bring out the best in them, but instead, it's more like, oh everyone let's just be friends! The world is full of roses and fresh brewed coffee!
If they really want Justin to succeed, they should be telling him to get his act together and work harder on his performance. I don't believe this contest is suited for rapping at all.
Hey! Let's get Promo Mack to host a rapping contest. He can get Arsenio Hall from Star Search to host it. It could be a two-fold production. 1. Rapping 2. Hip Hop dancers to compliment the rapper. We can select 11 rappers and one pop singer (that can't rhyme, dance or flow), as contestants.
Jenny Jones had a show on last week called "battle of the rappers". Rappers would showdown against one another and improvise on the spot. The show was amazingly entertaining especially when this tough as nails lady thug was dissing a white rapper in the showdown - 'you can have me boy - but only if your ready - so pull it out , that thin piece of spaghetti'.
I agree with all of you, I hate the fact that Justin is still in the competition, and some of the great singers aren't. Example, Ryan, Michelle, Christine, and Alexis are all good singers, but they didn't even make it to the finals. That still annoys the heck out of me.
i swear if i witness justin advancing again, i'm just gonna stop watchin the show for good... and yall should do the same.... let's protest... lol... i don't wanna hear anymore of his problems with his childhood or his dad... personally i don't care... please no more of "no war no more no more... no more no more no more", rather he should just preach "no i cant rock, no i cant rock, no no i cant rock"... and he looks like a cross between justin timberlake and jojo wright on crack... and i don't wanna see confused little girls trying to disagree with me... this is a "i hate justin thread" so if u like him, start your own thread... but i really hope that johney wright would just straight up tell justin that he aint good at all and just ruin his rapping career... oh wait, what rapping career??
