@funkifizin I agree. There will never be another singer with the combination of beauty, style and such an amazing voice from God----and also, coming up in an era where the music is great. Her timing couldn't be better----she hit the scene in a golden age of R&B pop. Everything just fell into p...

With all due respect to most of the American Idol finalists----this is what "the best" sounds like. This is what "the best" looks like. This is how "the best" performs. Damn the drugs that took her away. Like Clive Davis said, you wait a lifetime to hear a voice like this.

@TheLackofattack I haven't. But if I did, I think she would look and sound like this girl.

Definitely the stand-out Super Bowl commercial. They have a great ad agency.

For those of you who judge her----you're not saying anything about her. You're saying a lot about yourselves.

That makes three fake things in the commercial.

My biggest concern is that once Obamacare kicks in, that poor kid is going to have a long wait in the emergency room to get her knee looked at. But I don't consider that racist at all----there were plenty of stupid white liberals, including Pelosi and Reid, who force fed this lousy law on us. T...

I even have the tagline for this: "As Close To Perfect As It Gets....THE CAR."

@bullycrew It has to be. Who else would do that? She is amazing to look at.

She's welcome in my Sedona anytime!

@tieppol Yes in fact. I know he's going by Preston Sivley sometimes (Similar to Elvis spelled backwards)----but I also know he hasn't recorded anything in years and won't even sing for friends.

Gotta love the 80s. Would the PC Police nix this today? I'm buying the remastered CD.

Another reason why 70s & 80s music rules.

@2004SiennaAWD Do you have a source for that? I hadn't heard about their interiors breaking down. That's usually a GM thing.

Truly a shame that the incompetent savages at General Motors are so hell bent on killing Saab.

The punch Weaver landed to score the first knockdown was ridiculous----it's hard to believe Williams got up from that. Must have felt like getting hit with a sledgehammer.

Kia is doing a lot of things right lately----fantastic front end styling on all of their vehicles and a kick-ass advertising agency-----their ad spots are currently the best thing anyone is doing among comparable carmakers.

Beats the hell out of Katie Couric.

@kolst8406 They were both right on.

This song is their trademark----and it's a novelty song. The band actually had some other music that was quite decent.

She's a whole lot better looking than the '75 Charger----why did they take a sporty car and turn it into a bloated Cordoba lookalike?

People have said that the fight shouldn't have been stopped. But the fact is, Lyle didn't throw one punch during that flurry and was getting hit in the head over and over. A referee has to stop a fight when that is happening----especially a high profile fight like this----if he let that gone on...

@SuperGetitgotitgood I've heard it before----but the fact of the matter is, a whole bunch of factors (diet/nutrition, training, etc.) figure into this. If yesteryear's best athletes were born in the last 20 years, they too would be bigger, stronger, faster. You have to compare everything based ...

@2theothers2 Wouldn't that have been the Osmonds?

@RonyMexico Best R&B voice ever. His era included Wilson Pickett, Mavin Gaye and Otis Reddings---not exactly lightweights----but I agree with you, Stubbs voice ruled.

The bass line kicks ass----and as usual, the Four Tops are fashion plates. I love the shoes----very hip looking guys. Levi Stubbs----for my money, the best R&B voice of his era or probably an era.

What was that annoying high pitched noise that sounded like a wounded animal----every time Hearns landed a good punch?

What amazing voices----Levi Stubbs might have had the best R&B voice ever. Where is talent like this today?

@KeeperOfProphecies Keeper: So you think that at 24 years old, Tyson was "on the downside"? Wasn't he a 40-1 favorite? Hadn't his last fight been a 93 second KO over Carl Williams? Wasn't this fight against Douglas a "tune up" for Evander Holyfield? What this really was----it was James Dougl...

@bandit7498 Yes, take my word for it----because the "experts" who think he had a glass chin aren't really experts. By the way, which experts are you talking about? Names? Sources? Links? As far as your own eyes---if you're a fan who has never boxed, I'm not surprised if you think he "couldn'...

I love that the trainer said "He should have went to the body more." What? How long did this last, 30 seconds? Tyson didn't have time to go to the body.

@4aSteadyStateEconomy I watched the clip you reference----it doesn't indicate anything about Carlin's opinion on Global Warming. The only thing that clip proves is that Joy Bahar is an idiot. As for Carlin, he expands on what he said in this monologue. Don't put words in his mouth----you're ju...

@micropickletwo But it was the best song on the album----and since it was already charting when he was murdered, it was proof positive that he still had the magic. I think "Woman" and "Watching the Wheels" were gratuitous----probably wouldn't have been hits had he not been killed.

What stupid handler bounced Mike Quarry's head on the canvas after the KO? Jesus that was dumb. As for the fight: Bob Foster is on a very short list----one of the best ever. Quarry was overmatched, but he really did show some skills----he fought as well as he was capable of against a really g...

@zulubro Norton ducked Ron Lyle. He ducked Shavers for as long as he could, and we found out why. He ducked the big hitters because he couldn't handle them. If Quarry had more than 10-14 days to prepare for this fight, he might have had a better chance. A younger Quarry would have taken Norto...

@marcxopoco That is really a silly comment. Ali won 8 or 9 rounds in that fight, including the 15th, where if there were another few seconds left in the fight, Ali would have put Shavers down. There were also one or two rounds that might be even. No knockdowns, no serious cuts, a clear win for...
