Hello JigglyZelda003!!

My opinion on Lady Gaga... I was astounded by her collaboration with Beyonce for the music video telephone. Beyonce being such a talented soulful singer, I never imagined her ever working with Lady Gaga. But Lady Gaga has talent as well. She's just different I guess. Different in the sense that alot of people find her weird and love to make her the center of jokes on the internet and of everything else I guess. I find her weird but I appreciate some of the things she's contributed. I loved the Telephone music video btw. It's the Alejandro video that I find hard to understand. I'm wondering if she's gonna work with that talented young singer, Charice, who is actually from the country where I'm studying right now.

I've seen that math problem before. When you add and subtract and all that jazz, you create....anomalies that really aren't there. Everyone pays 10, so the owner has 30. The owner pays them back 1 apiece, so the owner now has $27, and the others each have one, which means they essentially only payed $9. The $2 that the owner kept is already accounted for, so you can't add that onto the total, and that's where the problem arises.

It's easier to explain verbally.....with pictures and stuff. I'm also very tired.

 

[SinkingHigher]

Everyone pays 10 units. 3(1) are removed. 2 are with the salesman. Once the total changes to 25 the goal changes with it. You don't add 2 to 27 you subtract it. 3 men pay 9 dollars and the salesman steals two. The outcome is 25.

Edit: Late fail. Stone beat me to it.

Also, to spur on the argument, I don't think Beyonce isn't as great as she's made out to be.

Listen to Etta James. That's real singing. Being the best today doesn't mean you're the best that ever was.

Imo, telephone is a disgrace. What a horrible message.

 

[Kataefi]

I love weird music! It's just that Lady Gaga's weird, I've been thinking, is sort of based on a number of different weirds previous artists have semi-accomplished. I'm starting to see her more as a tribute act than someone who is totally unique and completely off-the-wall. But there's no denying her videos are epic imo.

Also, maths is a big nono for me...

Hi Zelda boards. I use Zelda as a secondary of mine so I guess I'll like it here

Hello and welcome!

BTW, where are you from?

And wtf does OTT mean?

Hi.

Just leaving that there. Zelda music is too good.

That did sound good. I like.

Who is Michael Bolton?

Everyone pays 10 units. 3(1) are removed. 2 are with the salesman. Once the total changes to 25 the goal changes with it. You don't add 2 to 27 you subtract it. 3 men pay 9 dollars and the salesman steals two. The outcome is 25.

Just because I haven't done that a mathematical equation for a while, I'm going to form one from this. X represents the amount of money everyone of the three men originally paid.

3x-5=25
3x-3-2=25
3(x-1)-2=25
3(x-1)=27
x-1=9
x=10

Using the other equation, everyone would actually have to pay more:

3(x-1)+2=30
3(x-1)=28
x=28/3+1
x~10,33

Spoiler

Yeah, I'm slightly bored.

Hello and welcome!

BTW, where are you from?

I'm originally from the States, New York to be exact but after 6th grade my parents made me study High School in Asian countries like Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong thus explaning my Asia tour as my location. I still have around 50 more countries to visit to complete it I'm part Chinese so we have alot of connections in those countries. Right now I'm in the Philippines taking up Physical Therapy as my course and its sooooooooooooo hard So no tournaments I'm 19 but I'm actually new to the internet too xD How embarrassing! I've only begun surfing the web for around 4-5 months. It all began when my friend urged me to make a facebook account. I've only used computers for school stuff like printing out assignments from Microsoft Word in the past.

Somehow I've made my answer an intro rather than just answering your question xD

 

[Half-Split Soul]

Wow, that's cool. It must be quite an adventure to travel from one place to another while in school. And over 50 countries? That's just crazy.

 

[Janne]

Wow, that's cool. It must be quite an adventure to travel from one place to another while in school. And over 50 countries? That's just crazy.

Oh no. I study in one place first and complete the year before I move school and country. My parents are actually responsible for that. It's not much of a choice for me.

Edit: Oh yeah Half-Split Soul, where are you from?

 

[ぱみゅ]

At the math problem, yes, I solved it about 5 mins after posting it.

Congratulations Zeldas, you solved it (as nobody on my family did lol).

 

[Half-Split Soul]

Edit: Oh yeah Half-Split Soul, where are you from?

I live in Finland. It's that small country in the northern Europe that nobody knows anything of.

Oh, and here's a fun fact: your username is a really common boys' name in here.

you forgot that finland also is the country w/ alot of constants

Oh really?! I didn't know that. How do you pronounce my name there? Cuz we pronounce it like "Jay-nee"

 

[Dajayman]

I can't believe you're 19 and new to the internet. That just sounds so ridiculous to me since I started at like 7.

If you need any internet related help, I can be of assistance.

Well I think I can manage xD As in you regularly started using at 7?

 

[Dajayman]

Yeah pretty much started at 7. Mostly playing internet games like Starcraft.

 

[Silent_Rain]

She's got a cool style I'll give her that. However, your voice sounding good coming out of an auto tuner doesn't mean your talented.

Imo all her cool points go straight to the fashion designers.

She's a spectacle. Nothing more nothing less.

The days of real singing are long gone.


Edit: Also, Silent Rain...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEAAAAAHHHHHGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRROOOOOPPPPPPHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

LOL at your reaction!

I don't think she uses an autotuner for all of this performance.

Min 10 and I'm already done with that song... It's so random (in the non-funny way)....
earrape indeed..

 

[Dajayman]

I **** ears, but not with sounds.

It is? When did that happen?

Whoo boy, how should I explain this... the rules of Finnish pronounciation are quite different from those of English. In English the correct way to pronounce letters changes depending on the words they're in. That's why it's simple to think that when pronouncing the words they consist of syllables that are pronounced in a certain way and then write out those syllables. In Finnish, however, every letter has a specific sound attached to it and when speaking those sounds are simply placed after each other in the order the letters are in the word.

So sadly, the best I can answer is that in Finnish your username is pronounced J-a-n-n-e.

Sorry about the confusing and essay-ish post, but I really didn't know how to explain this. -_-

Ultimate Remix Chaos>The most unwanted song.

Besides, I liked that song. Then again, I can honestly say I like this song too.

Hahaha! I totally didn't get it either but I know that in Finland Janne is a boy's name xD Thanks for trying to explain it to me though.

hmmm maybe im getting finnish mixed up w/ something else.

i got lost in explanation. D:

Ultimate Remix Chaos>The most unwanted song.

O.O what is that?

Besides, I liked that song. Then again, I can honestly say I like this song too.

this one is interesting

 

[Half-Split Soul]

Yay, another fail to add to my resume!

hmmm maybe im getting finnish mixed up w/ something else.

Or I didn't understand what you meant. Oh well.

so its pronounced jayayenene?.....

i got lost in explanation. D:

No, not really... The sounds that the letters have when they appear in words are not the same than when they're said alone. Vowels have much shorter sounds when they're in a word. If the vowel sound in a word is long, it's written with douple vowel. For example, if the word has a long "a" sound in it, it'll be written "aa".

Consonants on the other hand have sounds that are impossibe to say without a vowel preceding or following them in a word. That's why when saying just the letter "k", we actually say "koo", but when the letter k is in a word, we just create the "k" sound.

Thanks to this you just need to learn the specific sound every letter has once and you can correctly pronounce any Finnish word you'll ever encounter. Likewise, once you've learned the pronounciation you can correctly write any word just by hearing someone say it.

I know this sounds really confusing, but it's actually quite simple. If I could explain this face to face you'd understand it instantly, but alas, it's really hard to explain on paper.

Haha. I was worried it might not be Shinji after posting.

Anyway, I meant that statement as more of a generalization of modern music. It's all about the gimmicks. Very few artists today can sing and they're hardly known about.

I'm glad Florence + The Machine is getting recognition but I worry they'll be assimilated by the fiend that is mainstream music.

 

[zeldspazz]

Hayley Williams ^^^

Nuff said. She's amazing imo

 

[SinkingHigher]

Gah I can't stand her whiny teenage "woe is me" voice. Her and Avril Lavigne.

hmmm, it sounds like it should be simple but alas paper has limited explanation. i think i understand a bit better although

 

[Dajayman]

Why is Finland so odd?

Florence and the machine <3 though I can't imagine Florence ever using that autotune filter in any of her songs.

That's the point, most unwanted song was created to be horrible, but it's actually so bad it's awesome.


I knew it when I first heard the opera rap about cowboys. Children's choir singing about Ramadan at Wal-mart comes in a close second.

this song is so random, some parts i like others leave me like wtf

Exactly, that's why it's awesome, it's just funny as ****.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

okay, well, I am currently on vacation, so I don't have time to upload all of the pitures from the concert, but I do have time for one so . . . here's a preview

 

[Kataefi]

It's the scary fish from finding nemo!

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

NO!

it's the "Fame Monster" TM!!!!!!

 

[DTP]

No way! I love those fish!
That's actually really cool.

Kata, get your arse back in the xat!!!!!
