It's just aimed at music snobs that get pissed when you insult white rock bands like the Beatles and U2 and DEMAND they be respected but they think other people like Nicki ect are trash, and completely disregard them.

I think it's more based on taste though, they like those bands so they want others to like them, same goes for everyone. No one is going to say a band/singer they hate is underrated..

But obviously my argument doesn't mean I immediately think all black/other ethnic artists are good - I just noticed that certain white artists are immediately regarded as great and unbeatable and then other ethnic artists are disregarded, but ethnic artists can be trash too obvs.

Nobody's mentioned Nicki. It's when people suggest that Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian are better musicians than the Beatles and Kate Bush that things begin to get a little ridiculous.

(also this is all to do with musical taste and nothing to do with race so I don't know why that's been brought up in the first place)

That was never suggested AT ALL - the thread was meant to state who you felt is underrated and overrated - Kim Kardashian being my underrated was obviously a joke when she isn't even an artist:laugh: - it was never suggested artists who were underrated were better than overrated ones. I don't think anybody would try to say Kim Kardashian was better than the Beatles...

Kim Kardashian's Jam is an iconic bop and better than anything by The Beatles though Cal :nono:

Quote from KK wiki page about the song.

Quote:

"It’s definitely a memory and it was a fun experience. We gave the proceeds to a cancer organization, But if there’s one thing in life that I wish I didn’t do ... I don’t like it when people kind of dabble into things they shouldn’t be. And that I don’t think I should have. Like, what gave me the right to think I could be a singer? Like, I don’t have a good voice."
If only she had thought that before she recorded the song.

So we have to know an artists back story to have an opinion?

Nah you're just being a snob tbh

I have never liked Kate Bush, my mum does and I have sat through her music and I like neither her songs or her voice - would I laugh at those who do? nope because I believe that my opinion is not universal and what somebody enjoys is very subjective.

Say what you will about Paris but I like her and I like her first album a lot and tbh I'm not gonna pretend I don't to pander to popular opinion.

Judging by 'AKA Twigs', you should probably know what they're called for starters.

Who even cares? I've heard plenty of her music and I am not a fan, why would I care how her name is spelt if I have no desire to investigate her further? and I was like slightly off, I didn't call her Natalia Kills or confuse her with Cilla Black

Knowing more than 3 songs you've heard on some Big Brother best bits inbetween your three hour binges of Paris Hilton's discography would help, yeah

I mean, I know you're trolling as usual Amy but even you must realise how stupid you sound tonight.

Daniel. 25-04-2015 09:38 PM

Why is she trolling :shrug:

Amy's a nice girl who contributes

I'm trolling now because I don't agree with you? the delusion of grandure is real.

This post is worse than any atrocity of the past 75 years.

This is the worst crisis since the abdication.
