>> ^vpvpvp: She can sing, why the hell does she keep doing what she's not good at... Rapping. Ugh. I don't like this or the previous one. A whiter than white dainty female jazz singer reinterpreting rap tracks is a lot more internetz friendly than a jazz singer singing her mainstream jazzy pop stylings. I don't get the impression that she's done this cynically - it's just something that's resulted in her getting lots of attention. Her own stuff is a world away from this, and I can't see much of a crossover possibility in terms of people who'd be into her original stuff... But it's hard to turn down all those internet hits that lead to guest spots on Ellen. The fact is, even if you're ridiculously talented at what you do, you don't necessarily get to choose what people decide gives you notoriety. ( not that she necessarily is.)

Well put, and true. Still as a rapper myself it's annoying to see someone getting notoriety for something they don't even do well just because it's done in a novelty way. What makes rap something to appreciate is the writing and delivery by that writer. All the puns, play on words, metaphors, similes, and just over all display of clever wit. I'm just a die-hard I guess so seeing some chick covering a song pretty much exactly how it already is bugs me. And the dude in the video might as well not even be there?! He plays like two chords and sings a note or two in each video. Good job?!
