I never did like that crap Bobby Womack pulled either. Marrying Sam Cooke's widow three months after the man was murdered. Who does something like that to a "mentor?"

I was totally gonna say NO I don't think I've judged THAT much to turn on an 'artist'. No one is perfect and I do love music. But as soon as I read this it did give me a flashback! I was sooo into Mayer before that. I also than immediately thought of how I viewed Justin Timberlake before vs after The Superbowl incident! Habitual offenders & line steppers especially like R. Kelly as well. Yeah I've KINDA turned on them...this list is short though. Chris Brown was easy b/c I was never into him anyway. [Edited 10/26/11 5:30am] | |

Yes that's certainly strange but isnt a total turn-off to me. His brother Cecil married Sam Cooke's daughter and he definitely wasnt a model husband.
David Ruffin turned me off to his music when I read how he abuse Tami Terrell and Rick James too when he was arrested.
To me alot of these male musicians were drug and physical abusers. They were not great husbands Im sure they cheated on their wives as well as slept with underage girls. They constantly had to have their egos stroked.
When it comes to their personal lives I confess I am a hypocrite I love to read bios. [Edited 10/26/11 6:00am] | |

SOS it seems to be a chicken or egg type thing. Did G engage in a behavior that he was intuitvely drawn to, or was he drawn to a behavior because he didn't have much choice, and then he was diggin' the hell out of it? (I have never really understood the physical attraction to G myself. Like some of his older music though.) But you know, "straight" culture is imposed onto the rest of the world in tons of icky ways every minute of the day, so if G accidently eye fucks your boyfriend, big deal.

I don't get it. It's more acceptabe for a grown man to marry a 14 year old girl rather than to piss on a 14 year old girl?!?!?! Would it have been better for him to have pissed on a 14 year old girl he was married to?

If people use their personal life to sell their art, I can not blame their fans for turning on them when the mirage finally disapears and the performer is shown to be human. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

And she claimed she was unhappy in both relationships. Watching her "Unsung" made me realize how really unstable she was. Sad. | |

I forgot Ike Turner he sadly always made my skin crawl. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Did people know back then that Ike was abusing Tina? I wonder if they knew, would that have changed record and tickets sales. I wonder if people would have come out to support him if they knew he was a woman beater. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

It was a different time so who knows! I hate to accuse but we all know he did it! I also believe in redemption. But not only was he a mess in his past but even later on in life he said things that disturbed me and could be violent. So its like did this guy have any redeeming qualities?! | |

Idiot here.
If I think you are a scumbag motherfucker such as a Roman Polanski or a Chris Brown, there is no way in hell I am giving you my money. Do anything illegal and it's pretty much: fuck you.
What musicians and artists do in their personal lives really doesn't phase me beyond that. I don't buy most recent hip hop because I find a lot of it misogynist. But like Timmy said, I move on to something else. | |

Uh hu. Susannah found out about it just like everyone else, via the tabloids when they reported "Sheryl and her new man" attend an event. Tabs didn't know who he was or report that he was married. Just that she had a new man and pics of them holding hads. Shaddy, huh?
Right around Mother's Day, as I recall. | |

I think this is part of it. It is not like there is nothing else out there and your life would be ruined if you crossed someone off your list. Every day, since I have been on youtube, I find an artist that I either never heard about or just never got into. There is so much music I have never heard I don't need to keep giving my $ and time to the same fool.

Yeah, that's right messed up! I guess that's the entertainment world for you...finding out your sh** in the tabs! Funny that they didn't recognize him...but still, why would he go out in public like that? Crow started acting kinda trampy (seems to me) after Lance Armstrong dumped her. Oh well... Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

I was a bit turned off by R.Kelly and the underage pee fetish too. I was never really a fan (I saw him in concert once but it was one of those multi-act shows, and I wasn't there to see him)...and I never bought one of his cds...but I did like his song "Step In The Name of Love", and found myself feeling kinda queasy whenever I heard it after the whole 'watersports with young girls' scandal. | |

I was turned off with R.Kelly too cause I really liked his singles for years, and it was hard not to joke about him and be an asshole when he came up, even though he kept putting out nice singles....and I was upset people were giving others a hard time and not him as much when HE WAS ON VIDEO! He still shouldn't have done it, but then I heard about Sparkle's niece and the tape not having a date on it, and his ass better not be lying about not knowing her age, maybe he's trying to play innocent, maybe not. So if they say not guilty, I go by that and maybe it was a mess, but I don't understand what happened when child porn was found at his place , didn't that come into court? | |

I was wondering when someone was going to mention him. | |

Ive never seen the R.Kelly sex tape.... I was probably 8 when it came out... Is it really R. Kelly on the tape?? Some say it is... I heard Kels tried to blame it on his brother ... | |

I was never into him at all but after hearing about what he was doing, that made it easier for me to diss him as a joke in the music industry. He shouldn't even be mentioned in the often short but talented list of glam rock legends. He's not worth it to tie David Bowie's or Marc Bolan's platinum platform boots. | |
