Youtube has made me realize the originality of certain songs; such as
Aretha Franklin originally, sang Day-Dreaming

The late Minnie Ripperton originally did Memory Lane.

I've also realize how small Michael and the brothers were when he first started out and how he was so much better when he was younger.

that folks really did hold on to their vhs recordings of soul train, american bandstand and solid gold.

oh wait, you said about "certain artists"...not about "each other".

my bad.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...there was a very large number of extremely talented musical artists.

1. Stevie Wonder, Elton John, David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Donna Summer, Barry White, The Bee Gees, KISS, The Jacksons, Earth Wind & Fire, & ABBA own the 1970's.

2. More than ever, the 1970's & 80's are the decades that every artist from the 2000's want to be like.....and still fall short.


I'll post later if I realize anything else.

Please TA, don't hurt the youths!!!

There used to be a lot of good music videos.

Some artists have a face for radio.

Vintage Soul Train is almost priceless.

Tally Brown is my hero.

That no matter how great some of the legendary soul pop and soul singers of all time have been, there is a cult of Regina Vasquez fans that will post a performance of her covering their work, phrasing every song and note verbatum and being declared a better singer over the originating artist

That record companies, like Robert Plant's, are asshats when you go and post live footage of his shows that you recorded yourself.

My son swears by Regina. He kept raving and raving about "Regina on Youtube."
No matter what song I played, "You should hear Regina's version on Youtube."
He even said Regina did a better version of "And I am Telling u" than Jennifer Holiday.
Needless to say, when I finally listened to her, I was less than impressed.

MJ is just a shell of his former once great self

-That Robbin Williams is the funniest person on earth in interviews

-That Kevin Spacey comes right after him

-That Chaka is soft spoken

-That Debra Wilson could do more than just Whitney & Oprah

-That Nelly Furtado is a hot geek

-That Letterman is the best presenter ever that is still on TV

-That Whitney indeed needs to get over herself

-That Prince is shy in interviews

-That Richard & Judy need to get more in sync

-That Lauren Graham is MADLY funny in a random way

-That Ellen Degeneres is super witty

-That Cher is not to be messed with


that was more than just "artists", sorry

-Freddie Mercury could command a stage like no other, (Live Aid).
-Keith Richards is really funny.
-Axl's rants are very entertaining.
- I learned tidbits about Jimi by watching his VH1 special on youtube.


I'm sure there's more I just don't remember right now.

Youtube continues to rule. I just found my favorite video from when I was 5 years old. I haven't seen the whole thing since back then!

that there is a LOT of things I have no idea about: artists styles etc

It made me realise that MTV is dead and redundant.

I second that. I can't bear to watch anything MJ pass the Bad era, because compared to the 70s everything he does just looks so contrieved, calculated and so artificial.....from his looks, voice and even his dancing.

You've reminded us constantly how crap you think MJ is these days, yet you've just "realized" this?

Cloudbuster said:

Did I say he was crap, another deluded fan trying to twist words and views,...I've always know MJ was a shell of his former self, because fortunately I remember the days before he blew up ultra-big with Thriller and it became more to do with hype, hysteria and King of POP, but it has taken Youtube to make me realize just HOW MUCH better he was back in the day...

whatsgoingon said:

Fuck off.

I second that. Fuck off.

Why is it that you call everyone who doesn't slag MJ off a "deluded fan"?

Some people still like his music. It's about personal taste and has nothing to do with delusion.

Again, fuck off.

-How MOTOWN completely dominated the 60's only to be only histroy right now.
-How ferocious "Young" Chaka Khan was whenever she per4med.
-Why does the "Queen Of Soul" label fit Aretha's legacy like a glove.
-I 4got the hell out of D'Angelo.
-That Lauryn Hill needs to step up her game and deliever her music WITH/WITHOUT her label's approval.
-Patrice Rushen is the TRUTH.
-Donny Hathaway is the TRUTH.
-Phyllis Hyman isn't gloomy like how she's portrayed, but a funny person.

The fact that you had to swear because I criticized your favourite popstar proves you are deluded, and the reason I called Cloudbuster "deluded" is because he tried to twist my statement, something very common amongst MJ fans...

I sweared because you're an irritating knob who tries to belittle anybody whose opinion differs to yours.

Merry Christmas!

And you and your ilk are fools for looking at this forum as a MJ board, as opposed as a Prince Forum where people are free to express their views of other artists whether good or bad, you don't have to agree with them.

If you read my post properly I was agreeing with another poster whose view was MJ was a "shell of his former self". What's wrong with that...you don't have to agree with that view, but don't try twisting things, a common MJ fan trait and then swearing when someone calls MJ fans "deluded" the fact that you continue to get hysterical on a NON-MJ forum some how reinforces the notion of MJ fans being deluded.
