[AllieYourAlly]

So that poem was nothing short of amazing & I thought that your hand gestures were very expressive and added to the piece...

It was so fantastic, it's as if when I was watching it time just kinda stopped moving.

[Pentdad]

This was masterful and she is oddly very attractive.

[bigj0410]

oddly?...she's very attractive period..i was her perform last night

[OfficialGetGln]

5 stars

[bgirlvocab]

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has said positive things about this piece, it really means alot.

And ya, I totally agree, I did use my hands way too much. Lol. Don't worry, I've grown since then (not physically, I'm still short) but on a poetry level I'm less about the drama and more about the writing.

Thank you once again to all the positive comments :)

[nali1234]

We saw you in Ottawa at the capital slam 5th anniversary event in Oct where you had a PERFECT score. I can not put to words yet the way the second poem you performed resonated/moved/opened up/taught me. You are amazing.

[karlagaby04]

@bgirlvocab girl, i don't know what you are talking about, I love this piece, and your hands compliment it profoundly! They are like the brushstrokes to a masterpiece! :D Kudos!

[DawnBpoems]

Her hands bug me

[wussgirlloven]

omg. dat was good. really good. I was just sitting and listening. :)

[Annoeire]

pfff uglyass bitcj

[higashiharu]

I like this. I came here from YWP-- I didn't know Knicks had a poetry slam.

[caffisc]

Never mind...I said that before I watched the whole thing

[caffisc]

This doesn't even sound like a poem

[simplylovely17]

I really liked this.

[hydroman333]

Notice at the beginning she describes herself as walking towards him with her "hips swerving", signifying she was trying to draw him with her body, then when he (the typical guy), mentions her body (which she already admittedly used), she becomes super-feminist and rants about how us guys (again, gender-roles) always care more about a woman's body that anything else about her. So it's ok for women to use their bodies to get what they want (date, favor, remote, etc.), it's fine? I'm confused.

[incrediblejessen]

haha exactly

[StageForHire]

@hydroman333

This is why I, as a chick, hate modern feminism. It's incredibly hypocritical and pointless.

[shadowcaster8]

i couldn't listen to the whole thing, it was terrible, i can't stand the ghetto attitudes of today. is there anyone out there who makes beautiful poetry anymore?

[ShadowAssasination]

Thank you someone finally said it.. its sad to see this ignorance of what you all call poerty, it makes me ashamed of our generation..

[amchale3673]

wow this was beast. i wish i could be as good as you. and speak the truth like u do

[1haley1jordan1]

OMFG I LOOOVED IT!! I do have every right to slap him like his mother and I did. Brilliant.

[JeeprzCreepers56]

Wow...I'm impressed.*claps*

[QueenJaKqui]

The poem was good, but women think the same way as men so we shouldn't get offended when a man makes a sexual remark about us b/c we were probably thinking the same thing. She stated she wantd to get his attention b/c of the was he looked, so did he.

[xae007]

she had alright flow but the lyrics werent shit. SHe contradicted herself like 12 times

[IssyLuff]

Did you even listen? Do listen again and pay attention, she doesn't contradict herself, and her lyrics aren't shit.

Btw, great slam Vocab.

[xae007]

I dont know if you are just on some feminist shit or what But at the beginning she was talking about wanting him cuz he was so hot and how she was swerving her hips to catch his attention. Then he spoke up and because what he said wasnt the sweetest thing in the world she got offended or scared or w/e. Chicks use their sex appeal to get what they want and then when anyone goes for it they claim that they were just being an independant woman and how dare anyone try to vialate that.. its misuse

[IssyLuff]

1) I'm not feminist.

2) Well, what's the point of wanting to be with someone if you're not even attracted to them?

And then when someone interests you, don't you want them to be interested in you too?

3)It's not about sweet talking, it's about not sounding like a idiot.

[xae007]

then I suggest you stop talking now

[IssyLuff]

Someone get some ice, you just got Burned.

[pinkpiggy151]

ha. that is so old...but it's true. you must not be very intact with he meanings of poetry...they sometimes don't mean what it is saying...it is trying to get you into the spirit of the poem, so you can feel like you were there...and you don't even know if it is true. It may just trying to make a point that sometimes guys can be disrespectful pigs...cough VINNIE. don't ask, not like you were going to though.

[pinkpiggy151]

so, someone asked me if they could know about vinnie. well, hes a guy at my school who is a disrespectful, disgusting, controlling, lieing, judging, retarded, unloving, uncaring, rude, selfish SOB! that was for you, bailey. (he dumped her, that little bag of WHAT?) anywayyy...ya. he's just FRICKIN FABULOUS! =]

[ageeksquadfan]

haha. guess what! i am in love with the fantastic four and geek squad!!!! and then...my friends and i call ourselves the gs, and i gave them all a part of the f4 as i call them, cuz there are 4 of us!!! haha. i am just really happy i have friends!!! they are really cool!!!! haha...so, byeee!!!!! (i love mike. he is awesome!!!)

[ShiriniFTW]

- KICKED ASSSSS!!!!!!

[naenaebrat88]

That line about his mother's teaching being rewind by the tv was hot! Keep it up! one

[degasbluedancer]

wow. this was really amazing. what's the title? could i get a copy of the poem?

[ksteena21]

one word can describe this AWESOME!

[Lizigurl]

I love this!!! I write some stuff but nothing as powerful and passionate as this. I'm in complete awe.

[23glamour]

THATS HOT MAMA

[tkzondo13]

wow

that.was.powerful, l feel ya sister, jus jokin.

[letambourinnoir]

Whoaaaa... This is POWERFUL, and a fantastic poet. I think the physical gestures lead to the power/enthousiasm of the piece, and her passion exudes from her fingertips.

[knight4rider]

i dont believe there is any measure of poets. every1 is on d same level but different stlye. she is not an amateur... this piece is realy good and funny. ...although d hand gestures r ova d top. *clapps* bless kenken

[guccidevochka]

Wow. Just wow. This chick kicks serious ass.

[circusfreak92]

This is wonderfull my english teacher showed it to me so i showed it to a bhunch of people!

[hatebelow]

the dramatic motion of her hand is slightly distracting at first but the message become powerful

[mets52693]

i've noticed the difference between amateur poets(although still very very impressive), and profesionals such as buddy wakefield, is that the stage presence for these poets appear spazzy rather than in control and in command.. anyone agree?

[scootigger]

wasn't that Mike Ellison? that was fire!!!

[BlueangelM]

Love this

[JaidenM]

Yeah D'J! Congrats on the win

[odabuu]

I love young people who have enough common sense to strive and let the world know where they, thank you for the video, but mostly for the enlightenment

[calliope666]

I love this!

[roni333]

mhmm...its a nice piece

the way she breathes annoys me a lil

[rozilicious]

eleagle saying . . glad to be in the finals with this chick

[ChocolateNeeNee]
