TOO MUCH GOSSIPS. GET IT STRAIGHT TURKEY!

We were bombarded with mail about Arlette Lagrange and the one and only Shoshanna Rosenstein. And the whole story rotates around New York's Divas, a Rapper, and two so-called Jazz Cabaret icons in Manhattan. But we got the story from its source and as it was published by WJNA. Here is the full article.

WAR OF THE CRITICS       By Genevieve Bresson

 

The heated semantic dialogue between the Globe Weekly News' Arlette Lagrange and World Jewish News Agency' Shoshanna Rosenstein is touring world media. Here is the whole story. In the music section of the Globe, last week, Arlette Lagrange wrote "SHOSHANNA ROZENSTEIN GETTING TOUGH! (Big Headline). CHADLOVE? CHAD WHO? A RAPP TURKEY, SAID SHOSHANNA ROZENSTEIN...AND CRAIG TAUBMAN CAN'T SING! (Subtitle).

New York Monthly Herald's Shoshanna Rozentein selected a newcomer to the world of music  as the golden turkey of the month. If this guy is a newbie, why to bother, Shoshanna? But Shoshanna is determined to kick his ass. She told the Globe Weekly News: "This guy is a nuisance and a major embarrassment. I am worried, because his words are filthy and his demeanor arrogant." And she adds: "I don't want a good Jewish guy to turn into an obscene pumpkin." So for God's sake who is this character?  His  name is Chadlove, an amateur who made a Rap debut with a third rate CD "Speak No Evol". In her review, Rozenstein wrote: "Poor thing, nothing  to listen to or to understand. Vulgar, slang, street language wrapped into third class noise. Stuff titled like "Touch My Ass". You got the idea.

TURKEY OF THE MONTH

We chose Chadlove "Turkey of the Month". Speak No Evol's rating: Zero minus. Rozenstein is tough. She also hammered another Jewish performer. She told us that "the publicist of Craig Taubman tried very hard to convince her that her client, Taubman, is the hottest ticket in the Jewish music business. On the phone, his public relation wizard told Rozenstein: "He [Taubman, that is] is the most famous Jewish singer, today." Really? I never heard of Craig Taubman, replied Rozenstein. "Anyway, I got curious and ditched his CD ( Friday Night Live) in my CD drive, curious to find out how good he is. Well,  the music is fabulous, absolutely splendid.

 

 

 

A great plus for Taubman who wrote and orchestrated the music. But, unfortunately, this man can't sing. Pity. I see in him, a great composer and outstanding musician. But as a singer? NO NO! He should stick to music and composition, ONLY! ", wrote Rozenstein. What does she like Shoshanna ?Does she like anything? "Only good material and talented artists make my day.", explained Shoshanna Rozenstein."

ROSENSTEIN REPLIES BACK: "RAP IS NOT FOR JEWISH SINGERS!"

Rosenstein was not happy about Lagrange's piece. She told the Stars Illustrated: "Arlette missed the point. I was not hard on Jewish performers. I did not target Jewish singers. After all, hey, people! I am Jewish myself. All what I said is Rap music is not for Jews. Rap is crap. And I don't want good Jewish boys to turn into Rap crap pumpkins. Arlette wrote "What does she like Shoshanna? Does she like anything? "Only good material and talented artists make my day.", explained Shoshanna Rozenstein." True, I told her I like good music, I mean plain good music. Of course, I like many things. Good taste, meaningful lyrics, good oldies, smooth Jazz, American Standards, the real thing. And by the way, if you see Arlette again, tell her, I write occasionally for the New York Monthly Herald but, basically, I am a columnist for the World Jewish News Agency."

SHOSHANNA'S FAVORITES

You got to love Shoshanna Rosenstein. She is funny and bubbly. Last week, we had a nice chat with Shoshanna. And Shoshanna talked about everything, anything you can think of, including fast cars, fast bullets, fast women, the Middle East, Israel's Olmert, Arlene Peck' hustle with Google, and the new wave of Jazz singers, the ones she really likes, and the ones she makes fun of. Here is some to sink you teeth in.
