i wouldn't. pretentious people with no clue have been pretending to like her bullshit since the late 60's. pretentious people with no clue still pretend to like her bullshit.



they must REALLY love John Lennon to put up with her nonsense and treat her as legit.

Agreed. Yoko is as talentless as they come.

What if these people entered American Idol before they were famous:

Kate Bush
Bob Dylan
Bjork
Yoko Ono
Joni Mitchell
Prince
Roger Waters
David Gilmour
Alanis Morissette

How long do you think they would last?


None of them would make it very far. Why? Because (with the exception of Yoko, IMHO), they're actual artists.

Yoko Ono-Laughter, tears and an astonished look. Yoko's just Yoko. Not a big fan, but some of her work I've liked-with Lennon. I don't think a lot of people give her a fair shake because of the simple fact she's Yoko.



to be honest, if she wasn't John's widow, nobody would be giving her a shake at all.


I was trying to be nice about it, but that's exactly right. wink

True. This is undeniable as she was far too uncommercial and out there for anyone to understand in the 1970's. Thankfully, she had the platform of being married to someone famous. These days, her art has come into itself. Ask any music critic.

sigh

Walking On Thin Ice was No. 1 on the US dance charts last year. Recently 'Hell In Paradise' reached No. 4, as well as Kiss Kiss Kiss at #20, Will I at #19 and the original Walking On Thin Ice '81 at #13. That's selling well. Not to mention the considerable airplay she got with Never Say Goodbye.

"Rising" was given four stars by Rolling Stone, and "Blueprint for a Sunrise" three and a half. Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Courtney Love, Cyndi Lauper, John Lennon, The B-52's and Kate Bush have all named her as an influence.
