Lord, you are our deliverer. We can do anything through Christ who strengthens us…but, we must take the first step. We must realize we have a problem and a need… and we must ask for help. I ask Lord, that you will give each person the courage to face up to their problems and to have a strong desire to change.
I ask that you will remove all outside influences that hinder them from coming clean and who perpetuate their addictions. We ask in Jesus’ name, that you will bind the enemy and that you will put your angels about each person to protect them tonight from themselves and from the things that keep dragging them down. Lord, I know many self medicate so they won’t have to deal with the pain in their life. I pray that you will give them the courage and strength to face down their demons and hurts… and to clean out the wounds once and for all, so they can be free to be the person that you’ve called them to be…to be free from the sickness and pain that keeps them in bondage.
We ask for healing in families torn apart by addiction. We ask for protection for those family members that are in harm’s way because of their loved one’s addictions. Lord, everyone suffers in a family where there is addiction. Please pour out your grace, mercy and healing power on each person who has been affected by someone with an addiction.
May the chains be broken tonight, Lord. Set the captives free and please begin that healing that only you can bring. Please bring hope…give a vision of what life can be like for a person freed from pain and addiction. Lord, for every need spoken or unspoken… and you know them all, we ask for your provision.
Please bring people into their lives that will stand beside them and help them to be accountable and will help them to stay clean and free. May you restore their sense of self-worth, may they find redemption and restoration in you Lord. We praise you and thank you Lord for the work you are going to do. In Jesus’ name we pray,

Robin's failing. This is something. The idea that Thicke thinks being "high" in the studio is any excuse is laughable.

Not only does he throw his buddies under the bus, he's embarrassed himself with his last album, and humiliated his soon to be ex-wife, and he's lost favor with his main audience. He needs to just stop talking.

He is so slimy and gross. Like the Grinch, I wouldn't touch him with a ten-and-a-half foot pole.

Aw, he's just a flawed human, just like Marvin Gaye when he got with an underage girl while he was estranged from his wife, and beat her, probably all while he was high on "toot" and weed. So, I guess Marvin Gaye was "slimy and gross too.

My point is that no one is perfect, and there are probably people out there who think you and I are slimy and gross too.

Yep. There was maybe one really good song on that album, the rest? I won't even get into "Tippy Toes." Yeah not cool to do that do Pharrell, very foolish. To be honest though, I never did get why people don't like him, he was always ok with me, I remember when he used to work with Jordan Knight...

The "Blurred Lines" album wasn't bad, IMO. I checked it out at the library and listen to it. the followup "Paula" is a better album, but no one's listening to it.

I can't imagine anyone would want to work with him now, knowing what kind of person he is.

It's not the drugs that make him slimy gross. Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse are two of my favorite artists and they ruined their lives with drugs. It's his arrogant, misogynistic antics and personality that gross me out. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions. He wrote an album to "get Paula back" - which was really a disgusting PR move that put her in a terrible position. He comes off as selfish and self-indulgent.

That being said, I hope he straightens his life out and realizes why so many people are so turned off by him. If he does and can focus on his musical talent, then I'll change my tune. He may very well have the potential to be a decent human being, and I really hope he an turn it around, but, in the last couple of years, he has been nothing but self-serving and egotistical.

If i'm not mistaken, Ralph doesn't want that kind of rhetoric on this forum anymore. He's already banned one person for it, so try to keep a lid on the value judgements. I don't want to see you banned, too.

But, to what you also wrote about his narcissism, that's probably why his wife left him. Who knows? If it hadn't been for that aspect of his personality, she may have stayed with him.

I would not say "Paula" was a disgusting PR move. It was his desperate attempt to win her back. It was a bad idea. Too bad there weren't enough people around him to talk him out of it. But, as far as the pure artistic part of it is concerned, it's a very good album, and, under any other circumstances, it could have been a hit for him. It also shows that he is a real artist.

That being said, I hope he straightens his life out and realizes why so many people are so turned off by him.

Only he can do that, with the help of some good therapy.

I'm hoping that a lot of this erratic behavior of his is drug-fueled, and not his actual personality. I remember a time when he was making music that wasn't as, for a lack of a better word, strange as Blurred Lines and Paula.

Actually, upon further reflection, I think a lot of my frustration stems from the public's willingness to buy into his antics. I am totally against the message that BL sends, I am very cynical about his intentions with "Paula," and his public behavior is self-aggrandizing. Who knows? I just don't understand his blatant misogynistic attitudes toward women. I don't remember him being like this before BL, so I think therein lies another source of frustration for me. I don't think its that his music necessarily changed so much, rather it was his attitudes and ego that shot up when his fame shot up.

I love Marvin Gaye's music, but his personality really took a downward turn later in his life. Some of his actions were pretty reprehensible.

Hey to lighten up things here a bit. Check out "little Robin Thicke" sitting with his mommy singer Gloria Loring and cheering on a young Whitney Houston in this great clip from 1986. You catch a glimpse of them in the front row at 3:38 in the clip:

Wow! Great clip! How on earth did you know that was Robin Thicke?

He mentioned in an interview a while back that this Whitney Houston performance had a profound effect on him wanting a career in music. That's his mom [[the lady in the green gloves) Gloria Loring sitting next to him.

Soulster and Ralph remind me of Eve and Margo--watch out Ralph, I think Soulster wants to run this forum:

The storyline looks boring as hell. I have no interest in it.

I don't think Robin Thicke is more misogynist than anyone else. I think the complainers in the media are too cowardly to go after real targets in different genres so they go after Robin Thicke.

Of all of the horrible, base lyrics I've heard in songs--for years--why in the heck are people hitting the crying couch over Robin Thicke and "Blurred Lines." Robin Thicke? No indeed....

And I think some people are chit-chatting about Robin Thicke being high in the studio. That's not a rare occurrence in the music business and really it's not going to work as an excuse either. Thicke's got plenty of company in that regard.

That's true, that's the culture in the music business. To be honest, it sickens me when people act like it doesn't happen or it's a "rarity" yeah right. And it's supposedly a big deal to people that Robin Thicke recorded high. Really? What is going on with people?

Thank you zebops. Theres a lot of judging this troubled man Mr Thicke and to those i say "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone"

Im praying that the good Lord guides Robin Thicke and all those with drug and drinking and sex addictons to a place of recovery.

Yours, with every god wish.
