John Legend has a holiday album coming out this year and he and Kelly have recorded a version of this problematic classic with updated lyrics. Some people are very offended that some people were very offended by the original lyrics, such as it goes. |

I know this will make me sound not woke but the whole controversy is just...beyond me. It's a playful, flirtatious song that's certainly dated yet meant to offend nobody  The new lyrics, I mean, I appreciate the message but...it reads lame. Either way, I'm sure the two of em will kill it vocally, especially Kelly. |

It’s not that serious from other side. Both sides are blowing it way beyond what it needs to be. People offended over the song. People offended that offended people are acting on the song. It’s a never ending cycle and has become the worst thing about Christmas since the space between November 1 and November 10 in Canada.

Well, I for one am perched to see John sing "it's your body and it's your choice" with a straight face (and for Kelly to keep a straight face while he sings it). This is about to be comedic gold! How could anyone be upset?

Yeah, my favorite part about all this is the endless OUTRAGE AND OFFENSE to people being...outraged and offended. Like, my god. They aren't burning all versions of the original. They're just doing a new cover with updated lyrics, as many have been wont to do with this song and others. Imagine caring that much over something like that.
...why they bothered with the clunkiest of replacement lyrics is another conversation.

Super wordy and clunky if you ask me. Honestly, the industry should just consider this song beyond repair and be done with it. 🚮

They sound too good for this song, with its original lyrics or these new shitty ones.

I went to the comments of Kelly's IG post about this, and you'd think Kelly murdered their first born. It's a fucking pop song people!!! |

Can't remember the last time I saw a like-dislike ratio like this.
