WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
Betty Harris

As a mom, trying to raise a daughter in today's challenging world, I'm always thrilled to find quality entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. Today, it's my honor to present the mother's seal of approval to Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Flexibility: Top-Rated
Dating has taught me that most men can't meet the needs of a single woman. JT, on the other hand, appeals to the psycho-aesthetics of four females across two generations. My best friend, aka my daughter's other mom, just went through a break up. She rocks out to "What Goes Around Comes Around."This is the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were going to make me cry My 9-year-old, the girl most likely to admire herself, prefers "LoveStoned."She shuts the room down
The way she walks and causes a fuss
The baddest in town
She's flawless like some uncut ice
I hope she's goin' home with me tonight My daughter's vice-sister (the other mom's oldest) has a pronounced taste for world domination. She prefers the title track.Tell me which way you like that
Do you like it like this?
Do you like it like that?
Tell me which way you like that And we all enjoy the feminist sensibility expressed in "SexyBack."Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave Which puts JT in the tradition of such panty-peeler crooners as Sam Cooke, who have invoked the shackles of love to fine effect.
Values: Top-Rated
My favorite song is "My Love." I love the beats. I love how JT's wailing like, well, like a pussyThis ring here represents my heart
And everything that you've been waiting for and then T.I. steps in to add some much-needed perspective.I'm patient, but I ain't gonna try
You don't come, I ain't gonna die It reminds me of a story a co-worker told me, years ago. Jackie had this boyfriend who had some ex-wife that kept coming around, showing up at his house wrapped only in a raincoat, sitting out front waiting for him to get home. The boyfriend told Jackie he hadn't had any dealings with the wife for over a year. But Jackie didn't buy it. She told me, "Ain't no dick in the world that good. He's been hitting it on the side this whole time, and I'm done with him." I love those old masochistic love songs as much as anybody, but do you really want your daughter crawling on the floor like Betty Harris? Less masochism, more pragmatism. Because Jackie's right.
In an age of decadent relativism, JT bravely calls for the return of the ethical standards we've left behind.I'm bringing sexy back
Them other boys don't know how to act I have this conversation with my women friends every weekend. Three cheers for JT for using his public platform to give voice to the voiceless and raise awareness on this critical issue.
Prix d'Honneur
Best use of "bitch" in a song lyric: "Damn Girl"Don't need no Maybelline
Cause you're a beauty queen
Don't need no L'Oreal
Cause bitch you're bad as hell And thanks to James "Disco-Ball" Morris, who persuaded me to listen to this album.
Readers, I need to shake off the winter blahs. What's worth listening to these days? I'm pretty tired of rock, but I'm open to most things.Labels: megan, pop
