Flavia's so kewl.

Mitten Kitten · Apr 3rd, 2012, 09:04 PM

that's the exact post:

Flavia please retire, this is getting beyond pathetic, you are 30, can't serve, with no mental strenght, can't return, can't hit a FH...since you are hot and a slut, turn yourself into a porn star, we all would enjoy that kind of sucking much more.
Your greatest fan

I can see why they censored that. Its very disrespectful to the player. Flavia is a real fighter, as she showed beating Sharapova at the USO in 3, Maria is 17-1 in 3 setters, thats the only loss in a long time. Flavia also beat Caro after the USO.

There are a lot of disrespectful posts in GM, but I agree about this censoring. Its a sig

Edit.

hey don't be that judgeful, you might see that it was posted in a moment of anger as she lost to a nobody in a season where's losing to nobodies because she got injured once again when she was playing great tennis. There's no more hope to see her doing something decent again

goldenlox · Apr 3rd, 2012, 09:47 PM

I'm not judgeful. I dont take any of those insulting posts seriously. When its a sig, its in every one of your posts. So I understand the mods.
But there's plenty of those kinds of posts by lots of people in GM

The most hatred I ever saw on message boards was about music. When Kournikova was in Enrique's video, her message board hated Enrique. His fans hated her. It was really nasty and mean spirited on both sides.
The end result was that the video was a hit & they're still together.

So there's no reason to take insulting posts too seriously.

A British actor(I think) was guilty of some travesty where,in his lyrics,he babbles about wishing he hadn't left a cake out in the rain...for some unknown reason,he'll "...never have that recipe again..."

.Even if she were under the influence of psychotropic drugs,Caro couldn't approach those musical depths....or the more mundane ones below:

It was a really stupid idea! Everyone is laughing about her and and her stupid song- if you can call that a song!

Who is everybody? It's a support song. The people I know that have heard it either like it or don't mind it. So that's everybody minus the ones who like it or don't mind it.

[quote=manixdk;21210299]Ben Rothenberg, Matt Cronin and Steve Tignor are fans of Caro. Here's Steve's latest bit on Caro:

Sorry but I think you got this one wrong.

I found a decent quality version of "Oxygen." Hmm, sounds like a typical pop song of the times. I wasn't expecting it to be fantastic but I am a little disappointed that her vocals are so heavily processed. Even if she is a terrible singer I would rather hear that than something that sounds nothing like her. If I had attempted to sing the song I imagine the end result would sound very much the same, there's really no trace of Caroline in it.

Those who are ridiculing her are in the habit of ridiculing her no matter what she does. Even if she sang like Aretha Franklin it wouldn't make any difference. I don't see any reason to take this record seriously. I don't think Caroline takes it seriously either. It's just her having a bit of fun.

In that case, 'everyone' is completely missing the point. It's fun, humourous and with deliberately exaggerated lyrics ... and should not be viewed as a normal commercial music project. The single is, as you know, part of a charity drive for paralympic athletes. The purpose is to raise money and awareness for less fortunate athletes and if this is achieved, the single serves it purpose!
