Madonna couldn't hold Mariah's crap (a.k.a., How To Start A Flaming Thread) I know that people on this site are really passionate about music in general, and not just Prince; that's why I come to this forum regularly. I learn so much about my favorite artists that I may not have previously known (Prince, Mariah Carey, U2), learn some new insights about other artists that I may have only given a passing interest in that cause me to revisit their music (Steely Dan, Kate Bush, Tori Amos), and introduces me to music I may have not even known about (Van Hunt, Dwele, Arcade Fire).
Nevertheless, I get sort of discouraged when I see posts which appear to slam a particular artist just to get some flame war started (Madonna vs. Mariah, Mariah vs. Janet, Madonna vs. Janet, Madonna vs. Kylie, etc.). Hey, it's possible that some of us may be fans of more than one artist on these threads, and that our tastes do not have to be mutually exclusive. I love Mariah Carey myself, but that doesn't mean that I have to hate Madonna or any of her fans. Likewise, just because I love Michael Jackson's "Thriller", it doesn't mean that I condone pedophilia, nor does the fact that I like some of R. Kelly's music mean that it's okay to have freaky sex with underage girls. (Having said that, I think R. Kelly is attempting to write a pilot for a new soap opera and is wondering whether "Trapped In The Closet" will get picked up by NBC or replace "As The World Turns".) Anyway, I just wanted to let people know that we can agree to like whatever artists we like, and even if we don't like someone else, we can agree to disagree and be civil about it. | |

Yeah, can't we all just get along? Good post
I think a lot of hardcore fans, myself included, overreact to people's posts instead of just letting them have their own opinion. Some people go to a thread just to bait, though, and there's no getting around that. [Edited 11/5/05 8:37am] | |

I like Mariah, Janet and Madonna (i'm not really a fan of Kylie) so it's harder for me because all fanbases seem to clash.
All fanbases have their psycho fans so i doubt we'll ever see the end of debating between the fanbases. | |

But yes, i admit i get a little defensive when it comes to Madonna, so i have to learn to respect others opinions.
I didn't even bother to click on the "Madonna is shit" thread because i know it will just wind me up. | |

You trouble making fucker! It happens here often, and I try not to get wrapped up in it. But occasionally, like yesterday, I do. | |

Whenever I criticize an artist there’s always an articulate fan on here who will call me on it. I wil say there is too much hate between the Diva’s, which is unfortunate. [Edited 11/5/05 12:32pm] | |

I love Madonna, Janet and Kylie. I'd be hard-pressed to care less about Mariah, though. That said, inside I can't help but be a little happy that Mariah is successful once again, if only for her own well-being. Plus, at least she has talent.
But Mariah sucks major ass and nothing she can do can top the other 3 mentioned. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

they are all good. not a fan of Mariah though. just sometimes people try to pass their opinion about someone off as fact, and that bothers me. You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Madonna's the best of the bunch. It's a fact. | |

I find it amusing that,on threads devoted to a specific artist,somebody always brings up the name of another artist,usually an artist who is considered their rival.And all hell breaks lose
it's childish,but it makes for an interesting thread | |

No Way.
There's two groups left in the pop world: Madonna fans and Mariah fans. Pick a side. You can't be bi in this instance. Mimi or Esther. Just how it is... Now it's still ok to love Madonna and Janet. I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

I didn't like Mariah at all!!Untill Butterfly came out!
I know it was a clever thing 2 put some R&B in her music (Puffy,Jay-Z,Snoop) but it worked 4 me. Charmbracelet was a disaster,I'm glad she came back with Emancipation... Janet & madonna were already my favs in the 80's,maybe that's why I still consider them as being the best. Though I lost some intrest in Madonna because at a point she tried 2 hard 2 be succesful,working with those producers who would keep her sound frsh and succesfull. It's always great 2 read someone's opinion,that's why we're here 4,not? Love4oneanother | |

i thought this thread was about how Madonna couldn't hold Mariah's crap because Janet ate it while sunbathin' as Michael's kids tripped over their scarves while they ran from their father's nose as it fell off into blanket's blanket....
where is that thread..... | |
