No, but it certainly shows your disdain for a type of music you know little about, yet choose to criticize as if you do. While I'll agree in that Britney is lucky to be both a dancer and a looker, 'cause she certainly wouldn't get far with her voice alone...to simply say that Shakira "can't sing" just shows you haven't listened to much of her music. The woman has a set of cords, without a doubt.
You'da been better off just complaining about lack of Zorn content...

Also, if
literature falls into the provinces of this list, then why not pure
entertainment?
- -literature is an art form and entertainment is not (don't be technical about
this)
I believe the zorn list is not the appropriate setting for a discussion on
how much somebody likes pink or britney spears
if you want to discuss avant garde art, zorn, or to strech it, art
(film,literature, whatever as long as it has some artistic validity) then go
ahead, i think that this list is the place, but praising these entertainers
is going to far

i never said she can't sing i said i don't care if she can. I don't think
that a talent translates into art. If you read my stament carefully and
didn't jump to conclusions then you would realized this
