Mike Ward on Telly

An Article in todays Daily Star by Mike Ward wrote about the Brits

Part of his page was;

Strictly speaking, shouldn't Prince have been introduced as the Artist formerly known as....? Or, more accurate still, Overated Short-Arse? And exactly how much had he paid to hire K D Langs Hair?

You can send Mike Ward your views direct to his e-mail address mike.ward@dailystar.co.uk

This from a guy who looks more like a communards fan?

So called newpaper

Maybe we should send him some of the following remarks:

1) Prince is Prince again since 2000. If he doesn't know 6 year old news, does this really qualify him to write about a music event?

2) Prince "overrated"? If he thinks so, o.k. Maybe he can also school unimportant people who are Prince fans, like Eric Clapton, Santana, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Steve Vai or, posthumously, Miles Davis (if he finds someone with contact to ghosts) with his exquisite knowledge of music.

3) If he has nothing else to say about the performance than stuff about Prince's size (how creative) and his hairdo, again, what may tell that someone about his qualification to write about music?

4) If he doesn't like Prince, he can listen to recent pearls of music, of course, like James Blunt, Coldplay, the Kaiser Chiefs, or (to go overseas) Jessica and Ashlee Simpson and enjoy their excellent, ahem, "art"...

5) Why did I spend the recent minutes on writing potential replies to such an ignorant idiot?

everyone and everything is overrated to someone. i wonder who thinks mike ward is an overrated writer?

The Daily Star is a fucking comic with (innacurate) news from two days ago in it. Not to be taken seriously.

writer now thats going to far my first post was going to contain sware words but why should i go to the same level as them.

I bet they come here to read .... sorry ask a friend what we are saying about them, then diss Prince a little bit more just to get all upset.

i wouldnt call the Star a newspaper, its just a little bit more posh than the Daily sport, not much just a bit , so this opinion dont count.

I'll bet he loved the spice girls though

Fam-tasmagoria!

What's the point in posts like this? Pointing out sinners to the converted?

Dear Mike Ward,

Any taste arbitrer that uses the word "overrated" can't possibly be taken seriously, since the word itself is the most cliched way to assert one's alleged good taste and immediately reveals the person to be a cheap knockoff of the real thing.

I agree some people think too much of Prince but you know you're in no danger of having that problem. So there!

P.S. : buy a thesaurus.

Probably ALL Mike Ward knows about Prince is the 10 minute set that he did at the Brits.

OVER-RATED? Well he obviously doesn't know Prince's legacy.

Personally I think we should write to these people because they unfortunately influence so many other people out there.

I'm gonna...

Dear Mike,

If you're looking for some activity, we kindly recommend going hunting with Dick Cheney to you.

You don't have a real career to lose anyway...

Best regards,

I haven't read anything this clueless Ward has written but it seems to me like he needs some...

This Thread is Overated...


Oh Geeze

Just like Curtis Mayfield he is underrated. Point.

Savage said:

Well, if you compare the two new songs he played at the Brits with the two oldies, the recent ones come up somewhat wanting , no?
