Thank You For The Comeback, Now Go Home

It seems as though most celebrities never get the hint of when its time to go and stay gone. Most of them think they're Michael Jordan. He left basketball, had a very sucky baseball career, and when that was done, he came back to basketball with without a problem. Well, even Michael Jordan didn't know when to call it quits. Need I discuss his career in Washington? Didn't think so. In my opinion, three singers and one rapper need to be told to hang it up for good. I've elected myself and this blog for the job. Let us begin.

Whitney Houston
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Ten years ago, she was the 'it' pop diva. The voice of angel with the gospel training to go with it. Seven consecutive number one singles. She had it all. Then that crack came into her life. Now, I could blame all of this on Bobby Brown. But he got his divorce. He didn't make her put out that craptastic album. "Million Dollar Bill" was the lone hit on it and that souinded like cheesy '70s disco. Sorry Whitney, enjoy that royalty money and chill. And if you need to make music. Make a mixtape called, "Crack Is Wack, But I Still Smoke That Shit". That will sell some units.

Mariah Carey
I love Mariah Carey. Her old stuff. She was making hit after hit all thoughout the '90sm made the shiteous movie that shall remain nameless, then had the infamous breakdown. Many wrote her off until she came roaring back with "The Emancipation". Nobody can deny how hot that joint was. Even the hardest thugs had a song they bumped off of that. Yet that was her peak. She slowly began falling off again. And her voice is shot to hell. Compare these two songs, "Dreamlover" and "My Love". You can definitely tell the difference. Plus, she married Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon! Really!?!? That's all that needs to be said about her.

Janet Jackson
This hirts me to the core to write this. I've loved Janet since I was a young lad. She never had a real singing voice, but that didn't matter. She could perform her ass off. She was the first concert I went to when I was eleven. I never forgot that. Fast foward some years, and shorty's music is all over the place. Damita Jo was a semi success. 20 Y.O. was a brick. Discipline was an absolute brick. No that was a cinder block. The Rock Wit Chu Tour was half assed. I just don't know what to say. Stick to acting, Janet, because if Jermaine Dupri and Neyo can't write you hits, who can?

Shyne
I know this is kind of messed up after all the things he's been through. But have you heard his new music? Yikes! He went from sounding like Biggie and being remotely cool to sounding horrendous over a Drake beat. Umm, Drake is cool and everything, but there should never come a day when the man who made 'Bad Boys' can't out rap Drake. Sorry, Drake fans, but fact is fact. Shyne, while you've deported to Belize, pick up a pen and practice. That's all you really need to do, resharpen your tool.
