You guessed it....the TAFKAP fiasco

That's just someone's opinion, they're like assholes, sometimes they stink!

I saw this. Number 47 I think. Who cares? LOL. Nice to see P on the TV

I've seen that countdown loads of times. Nice to have on in the background when you're online. I laughed too much at their comments on MJ's statue floating down the Thames with the Blue Peter theme music playing over it

They were quite lenient on Prince compared to the rest, saying he only got away with it because he was brilliant.

1. American Idol
2. Janet's nipple
3. Boy bands
4. Girl Bands/Power
4. Napster fiasco
5. Ticketmaster surcharge
6. Michael Jackson being widely regarded as the King of anything
7. Celebrity/actors turned rock stars
8. Lip syncing
9. No actual instruments being played on stage
10. All-star charity records
11. David Hasselhoff
12. Reality shows on VH1
13. The Stars on 45 (if you're too young, look it up)
11. What MTV became
12. Power ballads
13. Madonna bracelets/mesh gloves
14. "Now That's What I Call Music!" Volume whateverthefuck
15. Really bad hip hop/rap
16. Britney Spears/Christine Aguilara/Avril Lavigne/J'Lo
17. The Macarena
18. 20 year old suburban White rappers claiming street cred
19. "Sampling" - or at least what it became.
20. Pop stars in shitty movies (Crossroads, Spice World, Who's That Girl, Graffiti Bridge)
21. The bastardization of reggae (Ace of Base/Snow, etc.)
22. Rappers killing each other to boost album sales
23. The steady and sure deterioration of the music video as a viable art form
24. Record companies crying about losing money
25. Prince somehow coming out on every one of these silly lists.

I like how the Ticketmaster surchange is above David Haselhoff. That's gold.

they were probably mostly referring to that masked review ("as tora tora" ) he did with mayte speaking for him. which was pretty retarded and very annoying. if he hadnt done that im sure his name-changing thing would have been a lot better remembered, even including all the other moments of pure assitude he indulged himself in around that time

Nah, he'd already become a joke by the time he did that interview. Here in England at least. Having SLAVE written on his cheek and being called The Artist was never gonna wash with most folks here.

Yep, they did show part of that interview. Brought back a few amusing memories after I saw that for the first time

I dunno...you hav eto bear in mind that the people who truly felt he was a twat for the name change (not just a bit weird) will not have heard his semi-mental explanation for it and will just be thinking he woke up and though "I know what I'll do today...". The same people who believe the 2-ribs removed to self-blowjob rumour, and Prince is gay, he mows his dads lawn in bikni bottoms...etc etc.

The countdown section concluded that he just got bored in 1999/2000 and changes his nam eback to Prince...not that PRINCE was free to work again

I wasn't really feeling that Christina Aguilera/ Missy cover of "Car Wash" either.
