BEAT IT, Fergie

Is Fergie trying to give me high blood pressure? 

My friend Anil uploaded "Beat It 2008 With Fergie" to his Vox blog, and against my better judgment, I just listened.  And, as suspected, it's horrendous.

Don't listen to it.  Do read his post, but don't listen to the song.  You will regret it.

I'm all for celebrating the 25th anniversary of Thriller's release, which is the reason for this horrible remake, but the thing about a classic album is that it's classic for a reason.  It doesn't need to be messed with.  You certainly don't need to tack on some terrible "remixes" with today's hott stars (Akon, will.i.am, Fergie, Kanye) in order to get the kids to buy it, do you?  Maybe you do.  That's depressing.

And now I must go listen to the real, unmolested Thriller to cleanse my ears of this travesty.

Fergie is such an easy target but it's about time someone gave her a good smack in her pouty puss.

Ew, I made the huge mistake of listening. Pavlov would have had a field day with me.

On a brighter note...
