*deep breath*

One does not have to love or even like every single thing an artist does to be a fan. One is not a "bad fan", "Purple Bandwagonner", or "hater" because they do not like X album or Y single or Z dumbass public move.

To assume that a person has to behave in such a way to be considered a true fan is a very immature idea of what a fanship is supposed to be. True, the root word of fan is fanatic, but reasonable people don't take it so literally. Put down the kool-aid and quit worrying about other people's opinions of a celebrity's work. The only fan status you need to be concerned with is your own.

This is the silliest comment, and you see it often. Music isn't made just for musicians, it's made for a more general audience of listeners, and now, consumers.

As a consumer and listener, you are entitled to an opinion on the music and your purchase. Whether it's in favour of, or against, it's just an opinion.

I agree with everything meow85 said.

What's the official exchange rate of "hits & songs : disses" to which we're entitled?

I'm relaunching my back catalogue this evening.

I want to feel justified criticising the lack of cowbell on 'Black Sweat' as soon as one of my recordings appears in the top 10,000 on Amazon.

If you're talking about Britney Spears and stuff- maybe. If you're talking about real music/musicians - no.

The real artist wants to satisfy his/her own standards and usually gives a flying f..k about likes and dislikes of "consumers". He/she knows that his/her work will make its way through time.

I don't think I bag him.

Seriously though, this place would be a complete bore if all fans did was kiss his ass. Some people love some songs, others hate certain ones with a passion and I enjoy reading about people's honest opinions.

But you are right, there are some people on here who make it there mission to tear down Prince with everything he does, every move he makes, every song/video he puts out which honestly I think...well why are you even here? No matter how much bitching you do about him you can't turn him into the guy of 1984.

look, even God has a sense of humor..how else can the Aarvark be explained?
I love..I mean love the Rolling Stones..but not all there music currently is good..some of it is..same with every band I enjoy. Maybe, just maybe..the Beatles were the only group to create non baggable music..although there was the cut on the white album, "number nine"
Prince has created some ab fab music..genius music..but he's not perfect. Noone is, just the Higher Power

and how many hits and songs have you had? if one has to have a hit song to be critical of a musician, one also has to have a hit song to be complimentary of them or defend them, since you are just as unqualified to have an opinion.

so your position makes you a hypocrite.

of course, demanding someone has to have a hit song to have an opinion is f'ing stupid, so it also makes you an idiot.

have anice day.
