So where were we? Looks like we are never going to get past the issue of wherther the age-gate was bullying or not , and it appears indie is not all that new so.....BACK TO EMILEY!!!

Cant believe I said age-gate

What is the accusation?

facehead · 02-06-2007, 06:09 PM

anyway, Emily - she wasn't bullying, it was JUST a question. and the whole indie thing? it was just a comment that people have understood differently.

We are also contemplating just what 'indie' music is

I think its safe to say with all the Emily Lovers/Haters on here every little thing she does is going to cause a 10 page debate......Fun Times.

The great thing is your not going to get this with a lot of other TV shows though.

And people say Big Bro is mindless TV

Oh, that's easy.

It's just a term used by the media to describe soft pop rock. I agree, she shouldnt have bothered using it, but its what us kids are being told to call it (bt music press) , so what can you expect.

Sophii3x · 02-06-2007, 06:30 PM

IMO she's done nothing wrong. All she did was ask a question (that someone else would have asked eventually), there was nothing rude or insensitive about it.

Lesley usually lies, so why didn't she lie to Emily about her age instead of giving her stupid looks?

Did she? LOL! Well she seems to lie about everything else..

I think Emily's split the forum really. There are fans, haters and people who are unsure of her..

I think your partly to blame for that.....you do seem a tad bit obsessed with her lol

I think the reason why there are so many posts about her is because she is one of these characters you either love or hate, but i do belive in a few weeks time it will be mostly hate.

Indie music means:- Artists & Groups who are signed up with an (Independant label), "Indie" for short.

Oasis are with "Creation" Creation is an independant label. Liam & Noel are very happy staying with them and not being signed up with a major label either.

Anyway, the best "indie music" is from the 80's & 90's, but that's just me, you know

___________________________________________
Anyway, we are talking about Emily

From what I have seen of Emily so far, she seems okay

Not, that I have been glued solidly too the live-feed or anything either.

For those who have watched a lot of the live-feed, you will be much more aware of "Emily-footage" that some members may not be aware of.

That is an important point, isn't it

That doesnt cover it Nick. What if an electro band get signed to an independant label? What if a rap artist gets signed to and independant label? They remain electro or rap.

The question is, what kind of music is being signed to independant labels that qualifies to be called 'indie', and the answer is guitar bands. Soft pop rock bands that dont qualify as rock.

'Indie' is just a silly word for a genre that shouldnt have been invented, and it's not Emily's fault that the music press has been feeding her this nonsense.

Blur was pop/rock - Oasis was pop/rock - Supergrass was pop/rock. It was called Brit-pop. There's no need for this 'indie' word.

Regardless of what artist/group it is.

The word "Indie" is short for "Independant"

But bands like, Oasis, Blur, etc... from that Brit-Pop era, are still labelled "indie", if they are signed up to an "Independant" label.

However, the word, "Indie" may not be used, even if it should apply.

I know a lot about this, more than you think

Anyway, this topic is about Emily, (BB8) housemate, who is getting flack from a few critics right now.

She might turn nice tonight, and everyone will love her

Emilee · 02-06-2007, 09:11 PM

LMAO Indie is indie wether it was old or new.... theres a new version of it now thats what she means.

And the whole age thing... lesley shouldnt have lie in the first place.

Wow it didn't take long this year for this old standard to raise it's ugly head. It seems that unless everyone is completely over the top nice to everyone else in BB then they are accused of bullying.

And if anyone thinks Lesley will be easily "bullied" then they haven't really got a very good take on Lesley. She's well capable of looking after herself. As an ex stand-up comic and a former headhunter, I'm damn sure she is no fragile shrinking violet! And she is quite willing to play people and generate sympathy for herself, she's already told us all she'll have a little cry if she thinks it will help get her own way. I think she's great so far, one my faves!!

And Emily has done little wrong except for being a confident, attractive and well-spoken young woman. Them types aren't particularly well liked on BB! It's much better if you're a little stupid and not so attractive (unless ur a bloke where the pretty boys always do better) so the regular viewer will like you while also feeling slightly superior to you and not feeling threatened. You need to appeal to as many people as possible, so you're better aiming for the lowest common denominator.
