Diesel Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Will YoungA mincer of the highest order......and furthermore, I have no time for c*nts who get handed success on a plate, when talented, hard-working acts have to slog their way to recognition. All that game show & reality TV pish is a celebration of mediocrity and like the 51st State of America that were are, the stupid, stupid British public swallow it like a $30 blow-job. Can someone please explain to me why two thick, ugly, talentless slags are now millionairesses?? - neither of them can sing, dance, cook, act or have any business acumen. Neither of the two repulsive wee hoors can do anyting other than stand there and look like the operation to remove their brains was a complete success. ?( Yet, the idiotic, schemie British public throw money at them both......and it's EXACTLY the same with Will Young, Girls Are Pish, Liberty Pish etc.Completely abysmal non-acts getting repetitive airplay and all the opportunities to the detriment of REAL acts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to tour solidly, they're expected to keep themselves in *top* condition, they have to pretty much lead a lifestyle dictated by PR experts and so on...what's not real about that? Just because they're singing someone else's songs doesn't make them any more real and hard working. They also have to contend with the fact that it's very, very hard to have a long career in pop music - unlike other genres, it's very much "here today, gone tomorrow" and so you've got to put in 110% - you can't get away with putting out a lousy album simply because success is demanded straight away. Of course, because they don't write their own music, they're instantly devalued because of it. Which is quite honestly rubbish - if you could make millions from letting someone better than you do something, wouldn't you do it too?

Guest bluesxman Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Just because they're singing someone else's songs doesn't make them any more real and hard working. Exactly.

Diesel Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 The PelvisExactly. Elvis Presley always sung other peoples songs. And he was The King. The King of What (or Where) ...but seriously' date=' the King had something new to offer at that time and had genuine presence, I contend that all these acts are insipid and deriviate - I do admit Mr Young has exceptional vocal ability, but has very little real credibility - because he took a shortcut.With regards to the other post....It's a free country and everyone has their own equally valid opinion, but this is a [b']music site and these acts IMHO are ProductI guess my problem with game-show derived and chart acts of the 90's/00's are: -The British media's lack of discrimination between art & marketability and the British public's misguided (and seeemingly voracious) appetite for mediocrityThat the "music" is inconsequential, the whole thing is a clothing, cosmetics and accessories sales drive. My daughter has severely dented my bank balance as a result!!!!That none of the girls are sexy or elegant - frankly, they look like slags & lapdancers, not real women (believe me, when you get to my age, you'll be suprised at how repulsive they look to you - and I'm not that old)That none of them want to be GOOD - they just want to be FAMOUS, therefore the "art" doesn't matter and their loyal fans (who throw 's at them) are short-changed.And finally, hard work? - gie's peace!!Getting up out of bed to to a job you hate to put food on the table is real hard work - not everyone has the media-friendly looks required to "make-it" or the other opportunites to be whatever passes as a success these days and get the huge rewards.Slogging through the club circuit to get people to listen to your music - and drawing a blank coz you don't fit the media profile is also hard work.DZLPs - Don't take me too seriously, I'm always up for a good debate.

Singer-songwriters can turn out utter drivel too - as has been proved time and again by Mr Collins.Like I said, this is a music site and this is a discussion thread where we can vent our spleens from time to time. I've put more positive than negative threads/replies/posts on this site since joining, but this morning I felt like having a rant at an aspect of the music industry that I have an issue with. You have seen fit to hurl an insult at me when you know absolutey nothing about me whatsoever. I very much doubt your response would have been the same if we were having this debate in a bar.Computer forums the world over are polluted with insignificant, impotent (and probably incontinent) little "keyboard heroes" who from the perfect safety of their anonimity live out their fantasies of being "well hard" (try some of the BBC football forums). Having generally equated an appreciation of music with intelligence, I expected this site to be different.Wrong again.DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 ConnieRegarding my last post, I didn't check your Public Profile therefore the "keyboard hero" reference most likely doesn't apply to you as these folk tend to be of the male persuasion. Many Apologies.However the rest of the post stands.DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
