American Boy - Neatorama

This is the video for the UK's Estelle singing American Boy (with Kanye West). Estelle is beautiful and the song is nothing short of awesome, is it not? What do you think? YouTube.

this is probably my favorite song so far this year.

Oh, but I do like the video, and Estelle's voice :)

I don't like Kanye West. I don't particularly like his music style, but I was indifferent to him til I saw him a couple years back. He was incredibly rude to the tech guys, and when they were given the wrong light cues to one of his songs, he went OFF on them. He actually said, "Since the light guys seem to be having a little bit of a problem with this song, we're going to start again- from the beginning, guys, let's see if you can handle it this time." Later in the show, someone told him that it had been a mix-up with what the tech people had been told, the songs had been out of order. He was like "Oh, well it's not my fault no one knows when I'm gonna switch it up- I'm an artist!"

I don't care how talented he is or how bad other people have been, I thought it was rude and don't like him for it. I don't like other people for their diva behavior, I'll do the same with Kanye. Oh, and Nathan... how is saying "He's arrogant, we don't like him." comparable to "They can't be in music, they're Black!" I'm a little confused. I thought everyone was entitled to their own opinion...

Possibly the lamest post I've ever seen on Neatorama. Not neat or special at all. It simply doesn't fit the spirit of the site. Especially disappointing in light of Neatorama's usually high standards. I hope this is an isolated incident, because the competition is fierce out there...

If it makes British girls dig American men more I'm all for it.

How gruesomely awesome is that story?

Hi,

I'm from germany, and I did not hear that in our news so I searched the web for a german speaking version... and there seames to be none.

I tracked this info down to a british website of the questionable newspaper "The Sun":
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004092008,00.html

You can google the story in almost any language - except for german.
And everything you find bases on stories from UK.

is this a hoax made up by ALLAN HALL from The Sun? Or are german newspapers not interested in people eaten by spiders?

Hmm, I think I'm skeptical about this one, too - not to be one of those nitpicky types, but I'm fairly certain that tarantulas don't actually spin webs ... Nevertheless it does make for interesting Sunday morning reading =)

Now if that ain't irony I don't know anything! ;)

Fake.

TOM's right. This story is a hoax. Germany has a famous tabloid. If this tabloid has not reported on that story, then it has been made up by the UK tabloid. Although BILD (the German tabloid) has been known to report hoaxes, too ...

And: geckos don't feast on rotten bodies.

Btw, has anybody noticed that the article says that "the spiders and termites managed to escape when the heating elements exploded and opened the lids to their tanks"?

Sounds like those animals were kept in different tanks and that the heating elements exploded all at the same time? Doesn't sound logically.

At least no ants. :P

The lizards were taking flesh back to the tarantulas?

I have to call hoax too. Way too many things that don't make any sense. Giant webs draped all over him? To what purpose? What lizard would tear off flesh just to have it taken by a spider? And what spider would want dead flesh? No doubt. A fake story.

I don't know if this is a hoax or not, but this "story" is... three years old!!!
It was reported on february 27th, 2004. You'll have to do a search on the archives for this one.

No ants, of course, because they are polite.

No doubt, this is a hoax. I Live very close to dortmund, and i didnt hear anythung about that story. Like somebody wrote before, this seems to be a hoax originated by "the sun"...
