About the pronouns in her Cover Songs...
Hi. I've been a Ringo/TJ fan for about a month and they are very very talented. I'm addicted, in a sense.
But I've noticed that she doesn't change the pronouns in her cover songs. Not that I have a problem with it, but it is very strange. Why does she keep the same pronouns from a male perspective? |

She does it in her own songs too, no?
Songs aren't always from her pov and she doesn't accommodate which I kinda dig.

Come to think of it, it is pretty cool that she can sing a song from a viewpoint other than her own. But if I ever sang a cover song (and was then promptly booed of stage) I would have changed the pronouns.

A lot of artists (in my experience) leave the pronouns alone when covering songs. I guess sometimes an artist will think "I have to sing about finding a guy/girl sexy and I'm the same thing so that would sound really gay" or something, but Ringo doesn't give a damn. She probably gets the jollies ripping into someone else's song and turning it on its ear.
I remember when I first heard her cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. I thought "Man, this chick is crazy...I think I pretty much love her." I also remember when I first heard her cover of Papayas. I thought "What the Hell is this? No death metal spin on this boring old song?"

Just cause she has kids and had a husband, doesn't mean she doesn't like to scissor every once-in-a-while. (:
Hopefully some of you seen that South Park epsiode. |

So what? Then maybe she's bisexual?
I would still like to know how you came to that conclusion though. lol. But I don't South Park is the best source for lesbian sex techniques, imho. lol |

You guys are thinking too literally about Honnou. But if she was, hit me up Ringo! lol jk (but not really.) There are plenty of artists that sing out of their perspective; deg is the first to pop in my mind "Embryo."
