Actually it isn't because the reason why I say "most" is because of the fact that I do have other favorite singers. 😄 😄 😄

I'll be like "wait whose chart was it I wanted to visit to see which solo Wu-Tang album is the best?" and then I'll go back and forth between JO's chart and Skinny's chart and I just really get confused, it's like looking at twins (like Arnold Schwartzenegger and Danny DeVito, remember?)
Most of the time when they talk, I just imagine the same person really. I'll just be like "Who was it that wrote that interesting comment about the resurgence of the West Coast in modern-day hip-hop?" and half that time I'll say "Oh right, that was JOS" and I'll be totally wrong.
This happens like, at least two or three times a week. It's nuts. |
I'm sorry. 😁 😁 😁
God bless you two and James and my other favorite singers always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Actually, he is correct, the most is grammatically redundant. Saying "my favorite singer" still suggests that you have other singers but James you just prefer to the rest.
