Prince says he can't read music.

So does Paul McCartney.

Maybe they're exempt then, cuz they're actual musicians.

Wow, that's quite a list you made there.

Can't say I agree with all of 'em, and I'm not gonna go through every single one, but just to give you an idea:

Michael Jackson: OK, so his more recent stuff is crap....but his older stuff like "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough," "Rock With You," "Beat It" "Bille jean," "Wanna Be Startin Somethin" & "Blame it on the boggie" is classic. Can't deny that.

Black Eyed Peas: I liked their first couple of albums....especially their debut, that was much more conscious and featured more live instrumentation. The record label forced 'em to sound the way they do now though. Will.I.Am even said so when "Elephunk" got big. Again, the more recent stuff is crap.

Peter Andre: Wow....talk about a blast from the past. Thankfully he's no longer recording. But if you wanna go back there, THEEE band that I could not STAND back in the early '90s...was Frente. Oh my God, I don't know what folks saw in them at all. That lead singer was beyond fu*kin annoying.

Madonna: Used to like her, now I think she's VERY annoying. Her main aim was to shock folks, and that got old real fast. Plus, she couldn't sing for shit. Sounded like she had a bumble bee up her arse or sumthin.

Yah true I've heard that of Prince too but I'm sure it was not from lack of trying. The fact remains that even though he may not read music notations he has still managed to produce, arrange, compose and perform countless songs. It's known that many peeps are dyslexic when it comes to music notes but not with written language (the A B C's).

Ur right though in saying true musicians are exempt and initially with that comment I'm referring more towards the vocalists.

When it comes to Michael Jackson, when I was a kid I didn't mind his music, but as I grew up I just couldn't listen to it anymore it became underproductive and repetitive. If he varied his style and dance moves or at least had an element of originality then maybe I would.

Black eyed peas I've tried to listen to and I find it has no substance whatsover and Peter Andre is waste of oxygen. Frente they were almost as bad as Steps!

Ahh and then there's Madonna still getting attention by lifting up her skirt on the playground. Never thought anyone could make a career out of such behavior, but I guess since she has little or no musical talent...

Apart from them I would add any vocalist that is classified as a diva. That would mean the J-Lo's, Carey's and Franklin's of the industry. Arrogance is quite a turn off.

My musical spectrum is with the artists that defined a generation... ie quite a few people hate on Nirvana because they were dark and hard and screamed a lot. But that was pretty much how alot of people felt at that time and could relate.

Metal

I'm open minded when it comes to music,,,,but that genre closed it up

And since this thread focuses on "MUSIC acts", metal artists are the only folks I could call musicians,,,,,that I don't like, that is.

Yeah, that's a really great comparison actually.

As far as Nirvana's concerned....I actually didn't mind them....for some weird reason.

Don't like 'em now though.

anc282 said:

True huh...

I enjoyed Nirvana too, regardless of how their legacy came about.

PanthaGirl said:

Sellotape his mouth and the rest will do

One thing I didn't mention before: I always thought this guy was gay. That photo is not helping either. I guess he's not then, cuz he married that bimbo with the fake tits.

anc282 said:

LOL I know some of his Cypriot relatives around Melbourne and it's no secret he was always a closet bisexual. Kinda makes sense he ended up with that chick.

PanthaGirl said:

I didn't know all about that, thanks for sharing

MarySharon said:

Yah decent body for sure but he would need to place a hood over that head first babe!

PanthaGirl said:

A pillow will do

anc282 said:

Ah, so I was half right then.

Also take into account the fact that he was signed to Molly Meldrum's label and Mol used to hype him up all the time.

A kick for every reason I can't stand that bitch.

bboy87 said:

I forgot about those 2....

especially M&M.....

what was so great about him?

I don't understand, all he ever did was basically run around like a toddler saying crazy stuff about other celebrities & cussin his head off just to get attention.

I guess you could say he was sorta like a male Madonna Ciccone.

By the way: "RKellyIsDaKang!"

Yeah right. Uh huh.

Anyone who hates R Kelly is not irrational.

R. Kelly has written some really great songs for Michael Jackson: "You Are Not Alone" and "One More Chance." Also "Fortunate" by Maxwell was really good. I used to like "She's Got That Vibe," but then I realized he made a reference to "little cute Aaliyah." At the time she would've been about 12. Then he married her 2 years later. Charming.

anc282 said:

R wrote You Are Not Alone?

meow85 said:

I remember seeing a documentary about the "History" album on TV many years ago and it was confirmed on this very documentary that "You Are Not Alone" was indeed written by R Kelly. He even told a story of how he was imitating his vocals on the demo, which is why Mike sounds the way he does on the track, as opposed to that, sorta....constipated grunt or cum grunt that he was doing on virtually every other song on the album.

Madonna, Kylie and Amy Winehouse
