    Hands up all those who think Lights has any right to judge if ANYONE is “cool”.

      Here’s an idea, LIGHTS. Instead of dropping the names of other succesful artists…promote your tour!!!

  • Anonymous says:

    Is it an indication of Lights’ arrogance or laziness that she has done so little to promote the Lilith tour, which she is playing in? Interesting that the “Lilith Fair… was first seen as one of the summer’s most anticipated tours, but has been struggling from the outset of the season. Some have blamed high ticket prices — while others have blamed the lineup’s lack of sizzle.” Even Canada’s biggest pop star?

    Is there some other person doing backing vocals in @lights songs? I keep hearing a guy voice. (I’m talking about the studio versions btw)

    Apparently, it’s Dave Thompson (with whom Lights also writes with). So remind me, how is she doing this “all by herself”?

        She was on vacation. Vacationing in L.A. is the trendy thing to do for Canadian “celebrities” like George Strombolopolos, Jian Ghomeshi and Lights. Plus there’s always the hope that they’ll be “discovered”. George hangs out on Santa Monica Blvd. waiting to be discovered every night. He’s met a few “producers” and had a few “auditions”.

    Contrast Olivia’s gracious acceptance of a designer’s dress without criticism to Lights’ giving Roxy a hard time (& glad she wasn’t “murdered”). She even says: “I thought I was gonna hate it.” What an ATTITUDE! Lights actually out-bitched Olivia & Roxy!

    Roxy should have cut holes in green garbage bag, handed it to Lights, and said “this is probably the look you’re going for, honey”.

    • Gimme Gimme Ghomeshi says:

      Lights and Jian are always trying to get people to give them things. They’re glorified beggars.

      Lights Lilith Fair tour dates were being cancelled, which jeopardized Jian’s summer vacation plans. What does Jian do? He schedules a six date acoustic tour of coffeehouses in cities like New York, San Fran & LA. And then on June 23rd he got his Radio Starmaker Fund to pay for it. A free vacation for Jian.

      • Anonymous says:

        Jian must be wracking his brain trying to find reasons for her to tour and get money from the Fund. This time it’s a “solo” acoustic tour to support a CD that she’ll be giving away at her shows. A “solo” solo synth pop artist doing an acoustic tour for a CD that she’ll be giving away for free!? How the hell did he sell that one to the board!?

            She can’t be making much money. Her music doesn’t sell so she doesn’t make it from that. And she flies to LA and New York to play coffee houses? I doubt that she’d make enough from the gig to pay for the travel & various other expenses.

            I think that a lot of the touring that she does is more for her and Jian’s vanity than anything else. If they didn’t scramble to put together this joke of an acoustic tour, she would only be playing 6 gigs total the entire summer…..which wouldn’t look good for a supposedly “big pop star”.

          • Anonymous says:

            Last Year in July and August she played 21 shows. This year for July and August she’s booked for 12 shows – six “music festival” gigs and six “Lights Acoustic Coffee House Tour”. It’s shaping up to be a dry summer for Jian-Lights Inc.

    I saw no difference from Lights on The City to the way that she’s always been. Lights has never been the least bit modest or humble and is incredibly self-absorbed. A quick glance at her Twitter page shows that. Her only concerns are “I, Me, My,”. She’s always exaggerated her “success” and acted like she was a “Big Pop Star” and is still doing so even though she gets money from Factor & Starmaker Fund and her album hasn’t been on the charts since the first week that it came out. She wasn’t even the main attraction at “her show” on The City. It was Owl City’s show.

    • Anonymous says:

      She thinks the jacket is the issue. It’s not. The BIG issue was her attitude. She was arrogant, rude, self-centered, ungrateful and mean, among other things.

      Roxy brings her free clothes to her dressing room and she derisively refers to them as “From Le Whitney Show”.

      And how many times did she say “It’s important for ME”, “It’s important that I”, in other words “I’m the only one that matters”.

      And making faces at Whitney’s designs? How rude.

        Yeah….that doesn’t look staged AT ALL….total “reality” show…with no script, right? Mmmm-hmmm….

        Was it too sunny inside, too?
        “I like something that shows her tatoos” Yeah, Jian. Isn’t one of her tatoos a ray gun pointing directly at her crotch? I wanna see that one. I bet that turns you on. You two deserve each other. no class.

          It’s really disgusting to watch “Gee-Ahn” in action with that tattooed dipshit in tow, while he tries to act like some Hollywood big shot svengali-type manager in front of an American tv audience.

          And is this the way that Lights wants to present herself to the world? As Jian’s puppet?

        • ........................ says:

          I totally agree. Jian & Lights have no class. Roxy looks so dignified by comparison. I wonder how many people watching that show will think “Ewwwwwwwww. I didn’t know that Canadians could be that gross and sleazy!”

          Good on the CBC to be employing a wannabe Hollywood slimeball! Great advertising for the Mother Corp! While you’re at it, why not hire some porn industry people too?

            “I can’t wear a dress onstage.” What the hell, Lights? You stand at a keyboard! (and a crotch shot may boost your career!)

            The shirt that Blights wore that Jeeawn said was “super-cute” is essentially the same kind of shirt that Andrew Dice Clay usually wears.

    You can tell Lights is dating an old man (Jian). She keeps listening to his old ’80s music.

    Exactly. Now that Kelly’s used them, Jian/Lights are a distant memory.

    • Anonymous says:

      Kelly saying “Lights who?” must mean something. She’s dissing Lights (and by association, Jian).

      Perhaps the check from Wonderboy Entertainment Inc. bounced?

      • Anonymous says:

        Kelly usually tweets up a storm before “The City”. Silence tonight. Something happened….maybe she found out Lights is her competition, & isn’t chasing after Jian anymore with free PR?

        • Anonymous says:

          Jian’s website says nothing about his appearance on “The City”. Since when has he EVER been silent about appearing in something? anything?

    If Jian did pay Kelly for this kind of bad P.R., maybe it’s Kelly who should rethink her career.

        Nice to know you’ve got nothing better to do than pick out clothes for LIGHTS, Jian. Lord knows, she’s just a grown woman who isnt capable of making her own decisions. You’re not a misogynist at ALL.

        & how is your Nowherian book coming along????

          It would have been a better show if Jian had picked out a few outfits for himself & worn them. Snap!

      It shows you how scuzzy Jian & Lights are when they can make you feel sympathetic towards someone like Roxy Olin.

    The Lillith Fair has cut back, cancelled shows & moved to smaller venues because of low ticket sales. But isn’t Canada’s biggest pop star, LIGHTS, playing in Lillith?

  • Anonymous says:

    Isn’t this show is going to have the opposite effect & make Jian/Lights look like losers?

    • Anonymous says:

      I think so. They’ll certainly be a few jokes at Jian & Lights expense at the next Radio Starmaker Fund Board of Directors meeting when Jian makes his case for why a “big pop star” like Lights needs funding.

  • Spencer Pratt says:

    Roxy and Whitney were probably happy when Jian left town. I’m sure they were both nauseous after having a middle aged Iranian man “flirt” with them all weekend.

    • !@#$%^&*() says:

      It looks like Roxy was avoiding eye contact with Jian in that scene at the clothing rack. I take it that means that she was already disgusted by him at that point.

      • Anonymous says:

        Roxy was probably thinking “if Kelly didn’t want Jian to do her, I wouldn’t have to be here dealing with these low-rent schmoozers who are mooching off of Whitney & me!”

          Roxy and Whitney are super troopers. It must have been really difficult for them to pretend to give a shit about a couple of Canadian nobodies pretending to be big stars.

    Did Jian get off on ordering Whitney around & getting LIGHTS to not wear her clothes? Power trip?

      Jian needs a make over from the Queer eye for the Straight guy lads. He looks like a thrift store schlub. And what’s with the ubiquitous stubble? Does he think that it makes him look like Miami Vice era Don Johnson?

        Maybe he’s couch surfing…or waking up in someone’s apartment who doesn’t have a razor.

          Don’t Jian and Kelly look like they match as a couple? You see non-famous couples all the time that look like those two together. This is the first time that Jian’s been with someone that’s closer to what he’d be dating or married to without the “fame”.
