This is no Paparazzi! It's more like a PSA than a song. Nas loved it. Really. ("I know I can! Be what I wanna be!") Why did she go straight Phantom of the Opera in the middle for no reason?

Suggestions to Improve the English Language

Eliminate the word "whom" and replace all instances of it with "who." It looks and reads antiquated. Spell both "it's" and "its" with an apostrophe. Why should only one possessive in the language not have one? I cannot imagine a situation in which the words could be confused. More to come.
