No that is xenophobia.

 

look, if people are going to start throwing around potentially libellous labels, they may as well try and get them right

 

If I was actually offended, I would have wrote out a pretty long essay about how I found your comment asinine.

 

I find it pretty stupid, but that's about it. :D

I didn't make the original comment, which I agree didn't make much sense.

I agree with your random burst of pedantry here but the terminology isn't important - xenophobia is just as bad as racism, or any other prejudice. Still, I think the whole thing is something of a misunderstanding. Big Mistake doesn't dislike Americans, he'd just rather see British people do well, which is a fairly understandable wish in a (presumably) British user. That said, I don't agree with him anyway. I'd rather have a great American artist do well than a mediocre British one.

 

And I could definitely get used to Tyler doing the updates. The radio threads should be kept in the Britney fandom, clearly.

Deary me...there's room for everyone guys, take a chill pill! Anyway just wanted to say I'm so happy Columbia are pulling their socks up and getting 'Troublemaker' the exposure and airplay for Olly that he deserves :) He's back over there atm doing some radio promo and also three live shows in New York, Chicago and LA so hopefully he'll get a decent position on Billboard Hot 100 this time!

i'm not a xenophobe and i`m neither British or American, i'm Lebanese living in Beirut but i'm just happy that UK artists are making an impact in the US since Uk artists were completly ignored by US radio for 15 years from 1993 till 2008 and I'm glad that some.UK artists are now getting recognition worldwide...

 

besides i don't hate americans at all : my two sisters live in LA and have US passports...i.just happen to like UK music that's all...

Nice to see The Saturday's airplay slowly increasing...

Poorly.

The "official" radio premier is tonight after their E-Show

Is it?

Why would he say it was if it wasn't?
