Posted May 5, 200619 yr In Blender Magazine this month there is an article about the 50 Worst thing to happen to music. However being an American magazine a lot of them are only relevant to people in the States. I was wondering if a UK magazine such as Q Magazine were to do a similar list, what would you like to see in it?
May 5, 200619 yr I would say 5 of the worst things. 1. The takeover of the music scene in the UK by rubbish US Urban. It's a far cry from the brilliance of the old soul, motown & philly from 10 year and more ago. 2. Pestlife 3. Mc$h!te 4. Christina, Mariah & Gwen Stefani going all urban. 5. Over the last 11 years singles entering the chart at their peaks instead of climbing for 3 or 4 weeks to their peaks like before 1995.
May 5, 200619 yr 1. The takeover of the music scene in the UK by rubbish US Urban. It's a far cry from the brilliance of the old soul, motown & philly from 10 year and more ago. US Urban hasn´t really takeover the scene, Urban is NOT the most sucessful genre in the counrty and you hardly see an urban act selling millions. 5. Over the last 11 years singles entering the chart at their peaks instead of climbing for 3 or 4 weeks to their peaks like before 1995. That´s a bad thing for charts not for music, the chart performance of a song doesn´t change its quality.
May 5, 200619 yr Any of Lousis Walsh's acts are the worst thing that happened to music BY FAR :puke2: And below them are the talentless american teeny utter $h!te that are Britney etc :puke2: And then you've got the dull lifeless c**p that is Blunt, Dido etc :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: (except they do write their own music which is of course the most un diverse load of $h!te i have ver heard) Edited May 5, 200619 yr by Bono
May 5, 200619 yr Author is there a list of it anywhere? the magazine has Christina Million on the cover (but as i said at the start a lot of the entries are usa based) Edited May 5, 200619 yr by tigerboy
May 5, 200619 yr 4. Christina, Mariah & Gwen Stefani going all urban. Gwen Stefani going all urban? Hello? She's a diverse artist and covers many different styles of music, yes that sometimes includes urban. :rolleyes: Agreed on Mariah though, IMO she's a plague in the music scene.

May 6, 200619 yr Simon Cowell Louis Walsh Spice Girls Steps Agreed. However, as most people knew I would I am going to defend Mariah, what's wrong with her? You don't like her music? Big deal, millions of others do, hence her being one of the most successful artists on the planet EVER, now I am expecting one of you to reply with "she always uses rappers" or "she's only successful in America" or "she's a slag" or something like that, and this thread is not going to go on for pages and pages with me defending Mariah, despite what you lot or anyone else thinks of Mariah, she has millions of fans worldwide, she writes her own music, she sings live (usually), she is incredibly successful, and that makes her a plague on the music industry? :rolleyes:
May 6, 200619 yr she writes her own music, she sings live (usually) I heard that of all the performances she did last year, Live8 was the only live one.
May 6, 200619 yr I heard that of all the performances she did last year, Live8 was the only live one. That is the biggest heap of $h!te I have ever heard in my life, I can upload at least 10 right now if you would like? ^_^
May 6, 200619 yr Some of the LIVE performances from the last year (off the top of my head): It's Like That - Ellen We Belong Together - Tonight Show Don't Forget About Us - AMA Awards Shake It Off - World Music Awards We Belong Together - Oprah We Belong Together/Shake It Off Medley - MTV VMA Awards We Belong Together - MTV Movie Awards Fly Like A Bird - BET Save The Shelter Mimi Singles Medley - Dick Clarkes Rockin' New Years Eve We Belong Together - Dave Letterman Live 8 We Belong Together - Star Academy Hero - Star Academy Shake It Off - Star Academy From recent memory, I can upload if you need proof? ^_^
May 6, 200619 yr That is the biggest heap of $h!te I have ever heard in my life, I can upload at least 10 right now if you would like? ^_^ Nah, it's alright, I'll take your word for it. :P Someone obviously got that wrong!
May 6, 200619 yr VERY wrong yes. :P I knew something was wrong I have like every live performance she has ever done and my folder is full of them so I knew she did a lot more than 1. :lol:
