![]() ![]() Also please don’t blame Rachel for anything because she posts what I assign her. But overall, points taken, and I apologize. Or feel free to email us - I respond to every email. (I could change it to 1?) Then James or I will see it in the OpenWeb admin and can decide to take action or not. (It works - try it.) So it just takes two people. The new comment system should be stricter, though: if any two of you flag a post, it will disappear into moderation. I also understand not covering the Bette Midler story, however the Macy Gray situation was getting a lot of attention in the press and it seemed unfair to cover Gray but not the self-identifying liberal white woman. I’m a bit overwhelmed with the workload, as our staff shrinks. I should’ve looked at these given the subject matter. I try to read as many comments as I can, but the other four staffers aren’t generally moderating comments site-wide, especially on a night or weekend. I’m sorry we weren’t aware of any of these problematic comments. Posted in: The Number Ones: Enrique Iglesias’ “Bailamos”įirst off - I hear you all.

That leaves only “Genie In A Bottle,” which was technically preceded by “Reflection” BUT LOOK THE POINT IS that for all intents and purposes, the ten-song run kicked off by Britney Spears introduced six massive, brand-new megastars that we collectively fell for instantly, every single one of them capable of filling and perhaps selling out arenas to this day. Gilmour married Samson in 1994 she has served as a late-period co-writer. That was literally the case for “… Baby One More Time” and “If You Had My Love,” effectively the case for “Bills, Bills, Bills” (Destiny’s Child’s first single without sharing billing with a known hitmaker) and functionally the case for “Living La Vida Loca” and “Bailamos” (the first English-language singles for both Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias). Roger Waters accused former bandmate David Gilmour of lying about the creation of Pink Floyds Animals in May 2021.
