Guest stuartmaxwell Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 what a fucking joke this has turned intodanny doubt-you are quite blatantly an idiot, you dont like me because i have slagged off your band in the past, i remember you introduced yourself to me at the fudge awards and you were fine then, what the fuckis your problem?? i would like to think i am a critic, everybody who has an opinion is a critic, original or otherwise.emma-geez you hvae been around long enough, you should know better this thread is about opinion, why be so fucking anal about being named in a thread??

jester1470 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Sure' date=' it's fine to counter an opinion, but reading (relatively) impartially, I can say that Emma has more than given out what she's taken in terms of 'opinion'. So it works both ways, Mel just refrained from turning 'round and saying "don't criticise me, I'm a sensitive artiste", because you know that doesn't happen in the world. What happens if Emma gets a bad review in a magazine (not saying it would happen, but it certainly could), is she (and her friends) going to write in complaining that her feelings have been hurt? And let's face it - voices are something that are very objective things to judge, you don't like mine - fine, I'm cool with that, because it's just what you think, I don't hate you or consider your opinions any less valid, I could *see* how my voice could get that reaction from someone with your musical tastes. See what I mean. I'm not gonna try and change your opinion, so I don't see how calling Mel 'noxious' is really fair in any way....[/quote']Ah but what are my musical tastes they are wide and varied...I do see what you're saying and completely understand it, tho Emma didn't call Mel anything and did say that she just felt a bit hurt about it. For what it's worth I've already said to Emma it's really not worth getting upset about it's not that big a deal, however the fact is she was and rightly or wrongly, sometimes people don't like it, a constructive review may be different, it can (I'd imagine) be hurtfull to be called the worst person in a scene. I think Mel probably got a lot of the reaction she got by bringing up the whole training for 6 years etc stuff, not sure why that was relevant. I haven't heard her, or met her, I won't comment on her vocal abilities one way or another. Tho I completely agree name calling won;t get anyone anywhere. I think that it should be understood that sometimes people are rightly or wrongly upset by things, and sometimes an explanation of why you say what you do might solve that. cheersStuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babykarma Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 No need to have a go Johnny..I haven't slagged off ur girlfriend or have any of my mates. I just stated my opinions just as she has. You guys have the right to ignore anything that people say about you but I have the right to say if I find something hurtful ,and far as I'm concerned that is all I have done. I will still give my opinion as promised on her vocals but I will wait until she does a gig, rather than an open mic...preferrably a solo gig where she writes her own material and plays her own instruments but if that isn't on the cards I'll come along to a band one. Like I said so far I have never slated another singer so she has that much going for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babykarma Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 ps. I have had badish reviews...they didn't bother me at all but this does. I sent those demos off to get an opinion, knowing fine it might not be good reviews, but I never asked anyone here for an opinion, that is the difference.

Monk Rocker Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 As far as I can read' date=' no one else has gotten all indignant at being called 'worse'. Get over it, it's one person's opinion. Getting onstage infront people pretty much means that they'll form opinions of what you do, and if you can't accept that some of those might be negative, then you should re-consider what you're doing. Besides, this site exists for poeple to post their opinions. Live with it, or ignore it.[/quote']Amen that man!! The best thing said on this thread so far. It's all just someone's opinions. With a title like worst band, anyone mentioned on here is in for a slagging. Deal with it and move on. If folk can't take a slagging from a local message board they should give up. Imagine what it's gonna be like in the real world.I hate you David St "Old Mother" Hubbardins. You look crap in a blond wig and leather.

The singer also came across as a bit of an arse.Now heres the catch, I'm pretty sure it was DosDedos that I'm talking about, but have a feeling you were down as 'my decaying leg' on the tickets. The bassist through his bass on the ground as said by someone else earlier and he also had a really shit robin hood style shirt. And you seemed pretty frustrated by the excuse for a crowd.No offence or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 no offence taken.not sure about the bit about not being credible music. but the rest is probably fair enough as far as opinion goes, especially if it's the gig I think it was (supporting berkely at kef).

Afro Droid Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 but then again no magazine print it as the 'worst singer' And neither did Mel, she just said she found her voice bland. Emma then said she intended it that way - so where's the argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I think Mel probably got a lot of the reaction she got by bringing up the whole training for 6 years etc stuff' date=' not sure why that was relevant. [/quote']I think she brought that up as Emma seemed to be implying that Mel had no right to judge, because she isn't a regularly gigging singer-songwriter or whatever. Does that mean that people who PAY to see performers don't have the right to voice opinions on what they spend their money on unless they're also in the singing-songwriting game?

babykarma Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I implied nothing of the sort...you are just bitching now! All I said was just because I opt for a style she finds bland doesn't necesarily make me a bad singer. Mel was not exactly clear that she wasn't calling me a bad singer in her original post.
