I don't understand why she would sample such an old disaster, wasn't there a more recent up-to-the-minute tragedy she could use to kick off a song about a broken relationship? In the spirit of healing and never forgetting, I mean?
Everything IS up for grabs? Isn't it?

Ugh. I had no idea that was what it was from.

And "XO" was the first single in a long, long, LONG time by Ms. B that I actually kind of liked.

The choice is little different than taking Walter Cronkite's words to viewers announcing the death of President Kennedy or 911 calls from the World Trade Center attack and using them for shock value in a pop tune."

Sooo does zat mean these are available? I CALL DIBS!

Now she thinks she's Jesus.

She meant it as a tribute to Jesus and for everybody to heal and never forget the similarities between her brand and Jesus' brand.

Yes, but you have to agree to let her sneer at you so she "wins".
