For the record, I got the joke.

I hope she does... imagine if someone else had done smile at you, or the tower (goodbye baby).. I was listening to these last night and thought how great smile at you sounded, i loved that is was so different and without her singing it, it wouldn't of meant much to me....

Also, how come a lot of people were cracking so many jokes and expressed how unhappy they were that Stevie performed at the bat mitzfa that really happened, yet i add a joke from that to a topic that is just for discussion and it is of such shock?

*shudder* I don't ever want to hear that name ever again ....

Is it Stevie's decision? Is it her management who decide what should be allowed to be covered?

1 - don't bring that bat mitzvah hoopla back up

2 - do you really have to ask?

I haven't heard L.Lohan version yet, i heard a snippet (30seconds) of it and thats it....

I take it that it wasn't pleasing to the Stevie trained ears?

Because most people didn't get the joke, and I imagine they thought you were taking some kind of odd non-sensical reversed jab at the stereotype of Jews being miserly.

I'd seriously question Stevie's intelligence if she didn't have control over her own songs at this point in her career.

She does, though, and she always has, at least with her solo material.

Nope not at all, wouldn't anyway... My boss and his family whom i am close with are jewish... he would be making more fun of it if he was on here... I know zero of the stereotype's on nationalities or religions so woudn't know where to start... but i have learnt that my boss isn't one... he tells me that people believe jewish people are tight with money, whereas he is the absolute opposite! So... in short, no i wasn't being bad....

That's all I heard too .... and that alone was more than I could stomach.

I thought so too.
