About the Britney Spears playbacking, PART 1

Okay here it comes. I’m totally shocked with the quality of the Belgian news providers lately. We all know Britney Spears doesn’t sing live, yet they always need to bring up the dead subject called “Playbacking”.

Is there a time you stupid people will finally realize the fact, that you cannot combine singing with the way Britney dances? Her body is in constant movement, for women that’s impossible to reach a way singing.

Now y’all could say: ”But beyoncé does”, here’s my 2 cents, Beyoncé doesn’t either. She doesn’t sing live and dance at the same time, only when she does slow ballads, she sings live. This was discovered when she fell in Florida and was STILL singing while her microphone was at least 3 meters or 9 feet away. Beyoncé also doesn’t have the lung capacity to sing and dance at the same time, like most female artists.

On the men’s side however, Michael Jackson can dance and sing, and that’s because he has bigger longs and has a voice that’s effortless and natural. Or did you think Beyoncé’s singing was actually singing and just shouting for extra volume?

@VTM : If you guys would have placed the same amount of work, like, Britney does with her playbacking, you would have been able to get your news facts right. You guys TEND to :

  1.  
    1. Exaggerate on most numbers, if VRT says 10, you guys say 15.
    2. Can’t even write without BASIC grammar mistakes, does the ‘nieuwsbalk’ ring a bell?
    3. Can’t even pronounce foreign names right, nor basic English words.

@HLN : Are your journalists using crack and cocaine? Seriously, you guys could easily win the battle of crap against the daily sun (UK journal) which already has the worst reputation there is. You guys NEED to stop :

  1.  
    1. Using racism against Venus and Serena Williams, and face it,  that J-Henin doesn’t even come close to them.
    2. Writing the most bullshit based articles of the planet, and start doing real research and provide correct news.
    3. Using sensation as a guideline for your articles, if we want that, we’ll watch E! , TMZ.

If you try to change the points I’ve mentioned, you might stop with being considered as a ‘embarrasement’ for Belgium and Belgians. There’s no need to judge others, while you already miserable fail in providing the correct facts of necessary things.

Day 13; Sisters take it all !

Venus and Serena Williams, took everything at the women’s side, by also winning the Doubles Crown by defeating Lisa Raymond/Samantha Stosur 6-2 6-2 in less than 1 hour =)

To all the critics about the Williams’ Sisters, and all Belgians or haters, the Williams sisters are great champions, the best of the last generation, and aren’t quiters like Justine Henin. So please stop bullshiting around, because you all are losers, Including the Belgian arrogant newspapers.

CASE CLOSED.

Day 9; Serena demolishes 6-4 6-0

Serena Williams, promised us all to start peaking in the after she won her match last friday. She held that promise by peaking yesterday and sizzling today.

Serena Williams, took an early break, but Agniezska Radwanska broke back. Serena Williams saw no danger and continued with booming serves and playing aggressive and smart at the same time. She took the opening set by 6-4 in 32 minutes.

Serena Williams didn’t cut slack to Agniezska Radwanska, by switching a few gears higher, to completely blow Agniezska Radwanska away on all assets.

If it wasn’t by rocket serves, it was by strokes on both wings, or crisp volleys.

Serena Williams easily won the second set by 6-0 in 21 minutes. Ending the match 6-4 6-0 in 51 minutes.

Serena Williams stats;

  • 11 aces

Day 9; Venus Williams halts Tanasugarn 6-4 6-3

Venus Williams was challenged by Tamarine Tanasugarn, a Thai veteran, that really deserves a big applause for her Wimbledon run.

Venus Williams was comfortable most of the match, just when closing out both sets, Tamarine Tanasugarn refused to go out easy, by forcing Venus to play her very best on the crucial points.

Venus Williams won when Tamarine Tanasugarn wasn’t able to return a powerful stroke, by hitting it into the net, to end the set and match by 6-4 6-3 in 1h35.

Next Venus Williams will face Elena Dementieva.

Elena Dementieva will need to play well, playing like she did today will get her crushed within 1 hour. Venus to win in straight sets, once again.

R16, Serena Williams d. Kaia Kanepi 63 63

 YTD Statistics

 Serena Williamswill go into Wimbledon seeded as 6th, with 3 titles under her belt, and a win-loss of 25-3 [89%]. Giving the fact that she lost early at RG, she had enough time to regroup, train and relax, to be in great shape for her Wimbledon campaign. The tournament that she loves a lot, and feels like home.

Kaia Kanepi will go into Wimbledon, with her current career best ranking at 36, she didn’t win any WTA titles yet, but has obtained a 26-14 record [65%]. She reached the QF at RG this year, her furthest reach in a singles tournament this year, was in Acapulco, where she lost to Flavia Pennetta in the Semis.

 Serena Williams has collected a 39-7 [85%] win-loss record on the surface grass, during her 12 years as a pro. 37-6 is the record she has established so far at Wimbledon. She has reached the final 3 times in a row, losing just 1 to Maria Sharapova in 2004. Other players she lost to were; Virgina Ruano Pascual, Jennifer Capriati, Venus Williams, Jill Craybas and Justine Henin.

Match Outcome

If we look at it logical, this could be a very easy match for Serena Williams, giving the fact that grass accentuates her super abilities even more. Although we need to take in consider that Kaia Kanepi has grown a lot the past year, and could be a threat, if she can take away Serena’s rhythym. Anyway I don’t see that happening, she could give a hard first or second set, but Serena will overpower her on all aspects of the game, resulting in a straight sets win.

My prediction

Serena Williams d. Kaia Kanepi 63 61
