I like the soundtrack alot. I saw Glitter, it was more like a cheesy tv movie, it wasn't all that terrible.....wasn't as bad as Grafitti Bridge, Swept Away, or Shanghai Suprise.

Jarvis was drunk at the Brit Awards and decided to go up onstage during MJ's performance and I don't know, make a scene or something. Some kids that were onstage actually got hurt, which was I'm sure not his intention at all. He was actually arrested for it, but released a short time later.

Here's a quote from Jarvis about it:

"My actions were are form of protest at the way Michael Jackson sees himself as some kind of Christ-like figure with the power of healing. The music industry allows him to indulge his fantasies because of his wealth and power. People go along with it even though they know it's a bit sick. I just couldn't go along with it anymore. It was a spur of the moment decision brought on by boredom and frustration."

Here's the whole enchilada of that interview:



The funniest thing is when the lady asked him about the gospel book, he acted all "serious". "DA SECOND CUM-ING!" Rest in peace, JB!

"What you feel about the charges, James?"
"I FEEL GOOD!"

My classic quote: "Because I look good, I smell good, I feel good (lady: and you sing good) and make love good."

Ozzy biting into various rabid animals comes to mind. As does that reality show of his.

As far as shameful AND kinda funny?

I remember 1992 when Wilson-Phillips were the number one artists in the country based on radio play. They had three or four singles in the top ten. They announced their debut tour would be happening in arenas across the country. Shortly before the tickets went onsale, they were on the AMA Awards or something, and performed live for the first time in public. Blame it on lousy monitors, opening jitters or what have you but they were... bad . In fact, awful. I was disappointed, they weren't really my kind of thing but at least the records had nice harmonies & they seemed like they could really sing.

After multiple shows in 15,000 capacity venues sold as few as 300 tickets, they called it off. It was soon revealed that the number one artists had sold relatively few discs, the radio play was largely due to huge payola promotion.

Not long after, Soundscan was put in place to more accurately reflect sales rather than radio play as a barometer of success. So they had a big effect on the industry, but not in the manner intended.

Has anyone mentioned Milli Vanilli?

Not only did they fake their music, but their music was horrible, and the Grammys should have known better to begin with!

Furthermore, the Grammy still could have gone to the person that created the music if it really was that good.

Shame on you all!
