Haha. Plus, it has the added benefit of being a contemporary sonic time capsule.

I think this guy is some bitchy little Psych grad student. If he isn't then he's just a retard.

I can't stand Akon.

All I've seen him do is ruin songs with his annoying voice, have some high pitched voice ruin them, or he just rips the tune off Ignition (remix).

All annoying, in my opinion.

Lol at an R. Kelly fan dissing Akon. Anyway, it's not good practice to revive old and stupid threads. Just warning you.

Mate, I never checked the date - and either way, why "lol" at someone who listens to some R. Kelly, when they "diss" Akon?

Music is all about personal preference, and I personally don't like Akon, which is why I decided to post here seeing as the topic creator hailed him as a "living legend", which is something I completely disagree with.

Michael Jackson, Andrea Bocelli, John Farnham and bands like Cold Chisel are more along the lines of "living legends", in my opinion.
All of them have awesome songs, awesome vocal performances, and have been around for a long time.

Akon just rocked up overnight and sucked hardcore.

Just my opinion, which I'm perfectly entitled to.

I agree with your whole comment there, although the original post was meant to be sarcastic.
ProggyMan, how are you going to go and like R. Kelly? He pretty much embodies what it is to sell out.
Think about it, mid 90's, 'I Believe I Can Fly' a la Boyz 2 Men, or All For One, this kind of dramatic, going for epic sound, and then now he's turned into this big pimp, just all the mainstream hip hop artists of today. And on top of all that, his music isn't good.

Where the hell did you get me liking R. Kelly from?

Oops, my bad, I mean to that Shannon person.
I agree with your post, but I stand by the statement that R. Kelly sucks.
