I dislike MySpace music. MySpace is too dirty with spam; I saw that some tools like this one: MySpace Music Plays Increaser allow so called musicians to get popularity on MySpace with black advertising. I think that really cool musician doesn’t need black advertising, it will be popular anyway, event without fake plays. So if MySpace is full with black web promotion, it is place of bad musicians. It is my opinion. waste only
OMG…Nicki i think u r da finest gurl in this world…knowing that im stright and only llik boyz, when i saw u(O WOW). i just luv u. i luv everything about u/ like ur bottled shape waist/ur laugh/smlie/ur voice… basiclly i luv everythingabout u :p
