I'm such a music snob I just have to say that I am truely sorry to all ORGers for being such a music snob. When I see people singing the praises of Britney Spears and Madonna, I just lose control and go off! I'm just trying to help. All the gals say hoe if your man's giving up the gold. All the fellas say ruff if you're only giving up the bone. | |

Music snobs unite!
Frank Zappa of all people said "there's no such thing as crap music as long as even one person likes it." Of course, he never had any problems with making fun of music he hated, ha... | |

actually, it's not that you're a music snob that's the problem. it's more the fact that you're such a douchebag about it. "oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK" | |

I do alot of criticising too, i can't help it.I feel this the most after a Prince gig, everybody else just pales in comparison.You'll see some sap on TV the next night miming away with not a musician in sight.Bollocks!
How am i supposed to sit there watching shitty girl and boybands who've never written one song or picked up an instrument, and have been handpicked because they're someone's idea of 'gorgeous', and like it? It's bullshit and drives me up the frigging wall. | |

Mike got too big and sold too many, Jealousy has a hand in it too, i think. I like P and MJ equally, I guess I don't understand Prince fans who manically detest MJ to the point of obsession. | |

And why's mike the centre of attention on this thread? All this manufactured drivel isn't his fault! [This message was edited Thu Dec 11 11:39:35 PST 2003 by Marrk] | |

How am i supposed to sit there watching shitty girl and boybands who've never written one song or picked up an instrument, and have been handpicked because they're someone's idea of 'gorgeous', and like it? It's bullshit and drives me up the frigging wall. being an avid Michael Jackson fan, surely you can understand the frustration of people calling the music you like "shit" Mike wasn't hand picked, he got to Motown by actually being talented and working too hard for a 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10yr old.Don't try and dispute that! irrelevant. what i said was being an avid Michael Jackson fan, surely you can understand the frustration of people calling the music you like "shit" I suppose. Mike got too big and sold too many, Jealousy has a hand in it too, i think. I like P and MJ equally, I guess I don't understand Prince fans who manically detest MJ to the point of obsession. but, looking at it from the other way, those people you're complaining about ALSO worked hard at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 to get where they are, and people also tend to hate them because they "got too big and sold too many, jealousy has a hand in it too" You think they've actually piled into a van and toured the length and breadth of the country at that age, performed at strip joints, missed out on education etc I don't.If they did, it won't be many, and if they did good luck to them. you don't know anything about them, then. many of those boyband kids worked their asses off as children and early teens, missing out on plenty, to get where they were. Examples? I'll go look at some Bio's. like the BSB and Nsync busting their asses entering talent competitions, going on Star Search, working a schedules for TV shows like the Mickey Mouse Club (wich is gruelling for a kid), and as cast members in Disney theme parks, then trapsing all over the European country side to build a buzz and an audience, and then coming back to the US to start at the bottom again and build it up once more. these people don't just come out of nowhere. some of them do, but most of them have busted their asses from the time they were children to get where they were. they don't JUST get their on their looks. 3/5 of all boyband members are butt-ugly. Of course i knew the likes of of Nsync and Britney etc working hard as youngsters.I'm talking more of people who find out they're pretty good on karaoke, then the next week auditioning for 'Pop Idol'. That's the B.S. right there. how do you know they don't? and even if they don't, if they've got a good voice or talent, why deny them the ability to make a living from it? that would be like people employed at some company for 20 years, who think they know it all and no one is going to get into their elite circle, and some guy from the mail room fills out an application for the same position they've been stagnating in for 20 years, gets the job, does it well, and gets promoted ahead of them because he's got the skills and the talent to do it. of course they're bitter and jealous and say he didn't earn it, but hell, if they were so great, they would have moved up in the company too. Are you suggesting me hating shite music is down to me being jealous of these people? I'm jealous of Stevie, Jimi and Marvin though. no. you're the one that brought up people hating people that are popular because they are jealous. sorry,I was mistaken.I was just going by your 'mail room' example. | |

i love me some MJ. but, like many other dancers/singers, he lip syncs like mutha! don't point that finger too far. He didn't used to, and he CAN sing live.Alot of these guys now do it from the get-go. | |
