Proof positive that with a good enough agent and a bored public that in America ANYONE can be the next "great hit". C`mon, the guy`s 45+, overweight and is less "sexy" and glamourous than the horses in the stalls...Michael Jackson he AINT...
Whoommp, whommmp, whooommmp!!!!
Seems like all generations of youth just want to be completely different from their parents...
This is definitely different...

Wow, the American youth love this guy? Obama is going to attend a concert he's giving?
Psy, the South Korean rapper famous for " Gangnam Style," apologized today for a 2004 performance in which he said American soldiers should be killed "slowly and painfully."
The apology comes two days before he is scheduled to perform at a holiday concert that will be attended by President Obama and his family. TNT, the organizer of the concert, told ABC News that Psy will perform on Sunday as planned.
A White House official confirmed to ABC News that the Obama family will attend the Dec. 9 taping of "Christmas in Washington," as is custom. The annual charity function benefits the National Children's Medical Center and the entertainment is not chosen by the White House. It will be broadcast on TNT Dec. 21.
Psy said today that he will "forever be sorry for any pain I have caused" by what he sang at a Seoul concert that took place during the Iraq war:
Kill those f**king Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives Kill those f**king Yankees who ordered them to torture Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers Kill them all slowly and painfully
The concert was held on the heels of the decapitation of a Korean missionary by Islamic militants in Iraq, which fueled anti-U.S. military sentiment in South Korea. In 2002, an American military vehicle struck and killed two 13-year-old Korean girls. The soldiers involved in the incident were later acquitted of negligent homicide.
Here's the apology Psy released through his publicist, in full:
"As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world."
"The song in question - from eight years ago - was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time. While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words."
"I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months - including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them - and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it's important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that though music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology."
Obama is familiar with Psy's "Gangnam Style," which broke the record for the most watched YouTube video in history in November.
On election day, he told New Hampshire radio station WZID-FM that he's pretty sure he can do "Gangnam Style's" horse galloping dance. "I just saw that video for the first time, I think I can do that move," he said, when asked about the song. Asked if he'd do it if reelected, he said, "I'm not sure that the inauguration ball is the appropriate time to break that out." "Maybe," he added, "[I'd] do it privately for Michelle."
We are getting exactly what we deserve.:twocents
Oh Hell nah, I'm going to be George Zimmerman on those azzes

"Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism mainly associated with upscale fashion and lavish lifestyle associated with trendsetters in Seoul’s Gangnam district, which is considered the most affluent part of the metropolitan area. In colloquial usage, it is comparable to the English slang terms “swag” or “yolo”.
The song is pretty tame, when compared to a lot of the hiphop/rap trash that our youth is subjected to in today's music ....... (lyrics in English) :
English Translation:Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam styleA girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twistI’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guyBeautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the endOppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam styleEh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh ohA girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like thatI’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guyBeautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the endOppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam styleEh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh ohOn top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby

Advocating killing an American soldier ranks worse than killing the President in my book. If he's in this country, they should pick him up and put him on the next plane to SK.
Crappiepappy is a Hip hopper....:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:yikes:yikes
Don't let him fool ya, he is also an old codger...
When we gave "Hanoi Jane" a free pass, it opened the door to all this. Got no problem with the music or the style, but when you start advocating killing our American service men and women, I got a serious problem with it.
That's the truth.Quote:

I also don't pay much attention to what the political views, social views, or lifestyle is of any entertainer, actor, singer, or TV personality .... I never had/saw any of them as my heroes, mentors, or idols ... even as a young man. I've always viewed them as "paid entertainers".
And yes, I'm bearing down on "old codger" status at WOT :Rofl (7mo to go 'til I'm 65 !! )

Never seen it, don't care to. Don't care for the guy who did it. Don't care for the peabrain in office who welcomed him.
On a side note, we all remember the greatest generation. The men and women of the WW2 era. These great Americans brought forth this country. Then they brought forth the baby boomers. And guess who is destroying this country? The boomers. How did this happen? How did such drastically different ideals come about?
As far as "destroying" this nation, would think you are lumping all of them togrther. 2- 5% I`ll buy into. But that same generation (of which I`m 1 of ) also brought off the defeat of Communism and the (relatively) PEACEFUL collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, the victories in both Gulf Wars, carried out the death of Had Been Ladden, and even now are again carrying the fight to the Taliban and Al Quida in yet another offensive for the 4th winter in a row...previously the only other military to EVER do that was Alexander the Great`s and at horrific cost on BOTH sides. This generation has "the right stuff"...
What is Gangam Style you ask? Another low budget music video of more senseless stupid crap we have to put up with until the next Gangum Style. I have 2 kids ages 7 and 10, and what really scares me is that Crappypappy knows more about it than me. The video is packed with hot slinky bodied Korean girls. Oh wait - now I know why Pappy knows so much:Rofl
:Rofl ... spent 13 months in South Korea, back in 69-70 :cool: .... but I can't really say that I remember seeing that many "hot slinky bodied Korean girls" during those whole 13 months. :Doh:Quote:
