Jesus, be aggressive more?

I fully got his point for god's sake.

My issue was that he had to put in there "and I happen to think she's a bit ugly". How was that needed in any way... did he feel the need to just ensure that he has such high standards that he would never find her attractive. It's sad and belittling to women. If it were a video of some guy doing a great cover, there'd more than likely be no comments on their looks at all.

I GET that it shouldn't be in the title to get views... what YOU don't get is that it's really not cool to slip in a comment that she's ugly when he's supposedly saying that looks don't come into it.

So wrong. That's not what he's doing at all. He doesn't give a shit about the talent, he just doesn't want sex to be the factor that gets the views/votes. If someone says a girl is cute/not in a comment, that means the video is already being viewed and cannot be swayed by the comment which states she is cute/not. He says the video should stand on whether or not the performance is good, not whether or not you can get enough people looking at your video of a "cute girl".
Sift is turning into daily newspapers. Put a good title, get more sales. Right or wrong, accurate or not, put a good title. "BIG TITTIES ON PAGE 3" is a good one. If the french president makes a speech, report on his wife "Cute redhead in sexy dress watches french husband make speech".
Get his point now?

Tell me, is it possible to be any more oversensitive?

It's not about being sensitive. Normally I don't care so much about this sort of thing, but it's getting annoying how much people manipulate titles to try to pull in views. Whether she's cute or not; and I happen to think she's a bit ugly; has nothing to do with this video. This is a talented duo performing a song. The video ought to be able to stand on that.

You go to great lengths to try to put the talent in display in the video over the looks of the girl, and yet manage to say she's ugly... bravo.

She is a cute girl, she's also possibly reading this. No one likes to be called ugly, especially in a video they poured themselves into. A little more empathy please - or you may find yourself more at home making comments here.


I agree with "cute". Cute comes from more places than pure features. Anyone saying she's "ugly" is intimidated by her ability and skill.

That being said, she does seem the type who couldn't give a shit about a negative opinion.

^Opus, I apologize! I did not mean to downvote your comment at all. I was actually downvoting the quoted part of it before I realized that you were addressing it, and for that I should have upvoted because I agree with your sentiment. Very very sorry!

lol, np... i need to learn to quote correctly...

if people base video popularity merely on the video's title, why is "Philip: 86 year old Rep and WW II vet speaks about equality" at #3... ?

Hmmm.. if i don't know what CT is, does that mean it's not me?

I have some swedish friends though!

Without being insulted - my spider senses were tingling on autotune at times. Could have been coincidence. Curse modern technology fuelling my paranoia over talent.

Congrats on undermining both of these people with one efficient title. The woman is reduced to a "cute girl" and the man is ignored.


That's what it takes to make it on the Sift.

That's the only reason I clicked, so I'd say he did well!
