I like the song because not all single mothers started out single, but they sure as hell ended up in the situations she sings about. Fantasia wasn't a single mother to begin with, my mother wasn't single to begin with, most of the women I work with weren't single when they had their kids, but things changed and now they are. Fantasia may have money rolling in now, but she has been through some hard times, that's why she can sing about them. Music videos, video games, movies, songs are just a scape goat for those parents who don't bother to censor what their kids are exposed to or they let their kids do whatever makes them happy. If a 10 year old girl is dressing like a "video ho" who do you think bought her the clothes. Teens were having sex and getting pregnant way before all of these songs, movies, etc. were even allowed on the airwaves. Songs are influenced by life, that's why people like them, especially when it relates to their own lives. If kids take things they see way too seriously, then they have a problem. How many of us on PT that grew up watching Bugs Bunny thought it was ok to drop an anvil on someone's head?![]()
