Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong

[knewcleardaze]

If she got cancer herself, and she knows how fake Lanceyboy is, she MUST be lying about her feelings towards him, despite not having seem him in a while?
I'd be prepared to wager a very good case of beer that the two had some sort of telephone contact before Jeff called her in, though. Witness tampering? Offering the pop star free service of top sollicitors?
I'm not a fan of hers (sorry for those words), but I do feel for her. She betrayed the illness by being his media shield. Guess what she got as a thanks? :-(

I think Crow is a breast cancer survivor, yes?

Well, still no solid word either way so I'm still assuming she toed the line, its not like they were going to arrest her, maybe they'll fine her.

I dont think Crow would lie to the Feds if she knew anything. She has young children. She aint gonna risk anything for Armstrong. She talked, no doubt about it.

Armstrong responded this morning to Crow's comments:

*"I appreciate Sheryl's statement and her sentiments. She's truly one of kind and one of American's great talents. Her vocal pitch and octave range is second to none. No one worked as hard a she did on her singing and songwriting."

Armstrong issued a further statement:

“I personally shocked and dismayed as everyone was when Milli Vanilli had their Grammy awards stripped. They had released over 500 songs and never lip sync’d. Those accusing them of such heinous acts are bitter and looking for a book deal. I understand why they gave up the fight against the allegation from those seeking gratuitous self-publicity”

Pure gold

Lance will never admit that "giving himself" cancer was ever possible.
Sheryl on the other hand is already suggesting that she may have contributed to her own recently diagnosed cancer with her use of cell phones!

Egg salad excellent! Thanks. It is nice to read the posts on Cheryl, on LA and the humorous ones have me coughing up my coffee.

To those few who think/feel this SC/LA thread belongs elsewhere, my sincerest apologies. I have posted over 500 times and ...and ... OK, OK. But, if someone dislikes this thread, why perpetuate its legacy with another post. And, look at all the joy it has brought the world.

Clever.

It is wrong to say, as Sports Illustrated suggested, cancer is "self-induced." This just doesn't fit with the disease profile, nor is it really fair.

But it is correct to say that Lance played a dangerous game with his body and hormones, and this likely increased his chance for one or another type of cancer.

In any event, Lance Armstrong as a poster boy for the fight against cancer is simply a huge contradiction.

Was that from the same article that accused Julio Iglesias of lip-synching simply because he is from Spain?

 

[Ninety5rpm]

The witch-hunt investigation didn't even meet kangaroo court standards, and revoking their Grammy was a grave injustice. Besides, lip-synching was rampant in the 80s. What Milli Vanilli did was no different from what everyone else was doing at that time. It was a level playing field. They won that Grammy fair and square.

Who do you think the following Wikipedia article excerpt is about?

I heard that Frank Farian who was Milli Vanilli's evil producer was the master mind behind the lip syncing. Apparently bitter ex-teammate Charles Shaw who was the real singer on the songs made serious allegations against Milli Vanilli frontmen that they weren’t singing their own songs. Farian offered $150,000 to Shaw to retract his statements and said he could find 10 people who said he also lip synced.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Shaw_(singer)

Shaw, a US Army veteran, was reportedly paid $6,000 to perform the rap on Milli Vanilli's hit "Girl You Know It’s True". In December 1989, Shaw disclosed to New York Newsday writer John Leland that he was one of three singers on Milli Vanilli's hit debut album, and that Milli Vanilli frontmen Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan were impostors. Milli Vanilli producer Frank Farian reportedly paid Shaw $150,000 to retract his statements.[1]

You forgot to mention that Lipstrong has given hope to millions of deaf-mute people around the world. If it wasn't for innovators like MV, we would have no Nsync or Britney today. Think about it!

MV created a new style of lip syncing where by the mouthed the words at twice the speed. It was known as high cadence syncing and was revolutionary for its time.

too many funny posts to quote them individually.

Smart of them.

Hard to actually sing when your mouth is full of Allen Lim's rice cakes.

Many people are not aware of this, but when they stripped Milli Vanilli of their Grammy award they gave it to the runner up: Jan Ullrich. Years later (I believe Race Radio posted about it) it came out that Ullrich didn't sing on the album either!

Lance and company celebrate as Sheryl Crow shoots her credibility dead with that proclamation. Whatever Crow may have told the USADA or anybody else is now easily defended as the rantings of a lunatic who thinks cell phones not only cause cancer, but caused her cancer.

And no one cared because not even Jan claimed it was anything more than lip singing. "If you can't put 2 and 2 together" he said, "you couldn't be helped."

I LOVE Sheryl's credibility! Sheryl can defend her statement on several levels.

That LA's credibility is not yet dead to a large minority of the general populous speaks volumes. Sheryl's credibility is excellent in light of the previous sentence.

To accept that her actions may have contributed to her illness seems realistic and empowering. That the action was "use of a mobile" seems ok as Sheryl appears to suggest a possibility rather than an overwhelming likelihood.

Her comment may simply be defended by stating that there is the possibility that mobile phone use contributes to cancer inception or growth rate and that in turn may have contributed to her cancer. There is currently no evidence "proving" cell phone use does not contribute to the incidence of cancer. As we all know "proving" the negative is analogous to passing a camel thru' the eye of a needle....

Furthermore Sheryl was likely (I do not know) an early adopter of cell phone use. There is the possibility that early cell phones had greater radiation1 outputs.

"In one type of study, called a case-control study, cell phone use is compared between people with these types of tumors and people without them. In another type of study, called a cohort study, a large group of people is followed over time and the rate of these tumors in people who did and didn’t use cell phones is compared. Cancer incidence data can also be analyzed over time to see if the rates of cancer changed in large populations during the time that cell phone use increased dramatically. The results of these studies have generally not provided clear evidence of a relationship between cell phone use and cancer, but there have been some statistically significant findings in certain subgroups of people ."

"Changing technology and methods of use. Older studies evaluated radiofrequency energy exposure from analog cell phones. However, most cell phones today use digital technology, which operates at a different frequency and a lower power level than analog phones. Digital cell phones have been in use for more than a decade in the United States, and cellular technology continues to change ..."
