You know what Sooz? Every thread I start has my name on it. If you don't like my threads why do you even bother opening them? I know you're desperate to get me banned by winding me up everywhere I post but it ain't gonna happen. Not today, not tomorrow, never.

They wrote great stuff

 Soozy!

Is the London Philharmonic Orchestra 'manufactured'?

I heard they were and they do covers.

TBH it's no different to the continuous rants about failing to quote, eye strain, google chrome and the same information being regurgitated to death in different threads.

It would have been nice if she actually made any comment on what the thread was about but she never does. Just another pointless personal attack. Don't tell her that though she goes into 'victim' mode any time someone points out she's trolling again.

Ah, but she said "Exactly", to my point, which means I'm right! 

I tend to avoid threads that I don't see the point of - saves a lot of grief.

Apart from anything else I've never made a thread about this before, ever. Pointless troll destroying another thread where people were just having a laugh. I really hate when people do that 

Do you honestly think that?

I simply offer an alternative view ....................there are others that do the same. - and actually - there are an awful lot of your threads thatIi don't open up and reply to - simply because they're a bit pointless for my taste.

I made an exception here because I do have an opinion  on this.

I'll refrain from entering any thread you start from now on because - you can obviously give it out but can't take it.

Prom I know you haven't, I was just trying to throw a bit of realism in

Alternative view? You didn't give any view on the subject of the thread. As for your opinion, that was absent too. Would you like to share or was I right and you just dived in to sabotage a fun thread? You've pretty much done that anyway as you always do, every single time without fail. 

If you don't like my threads don't open them. Rocket science? No.

Nice idea, don't know about the execution 

Actually Soozy - all you did was to accuse Prom of having the same old rant over and over again.
To be fair that isn't really expressing any views.

Soozy agreed with me! 

And I think she was right to! 

I was actually agreeing with Blizzies point. And ................(I'll make this my last comment) but ......................i think Prom has made a point about artists not singing their own material several times before. It's a point I simply don't agree with..............I don't think I'm alone but ...........i'll leave it there.

It's that written word again - gets misunderstood all over the place.
I am going to bed now cos I am falling asleep.

Night all

And another thing, Gary Barlow survived his years in the wilderness writing great songs for other peeps, while Robbie Williams stole some poor songwriter's song and claimed he'd written it! 

Night Issy. 

I'm stepping out of this thread. The problem with people who are intellectually challenged but who are out for a fight at all times even when (and especially) they have no interest in the thread subject and just want to stir is if you keep arguing with them you will eventually become pretty much braindead yourself.

I like my brain just as it is so night folks

Does that mean I win? 

Night Prom. 

I blame the weather......

That's the music industry for you really.  Writing your own stuff is a plus but not essential to the creative process.  That said, a band or singer can only go so far with other people's stuff.  As far as manufactured artist such as Beyoncé, Britney Spears goes, I suppose they have their style and those which don't tend to fall by the wayside quicker than those who do.  Pink would probably have disappeared if she stayed in pop Rap/R&B genre rather than taking on that rock chick persona.  Even if there's a Svengali or record company pulling the strings the artist is in there somewhere.  Those artists aren't really to my taste but there is a style in there somewhere.

Sometimes a band that writes and plays their own stuff just do it badly and so predictably that the manufactured bands are more interesting - like (IMO), The Stereophonics.  Although they write their own stuff and can play their instruments, I find them annoyingly clichéd, uninspiring, unimaginative and irritatingly boring.

I blame it on the boogie (written by English singer/songwriter Mick Jackson) 

Perhaps that Promo one should look for another Forum where people can match his undoubted superior intellect, and have a jolly good debate.
I feel that we are holding him back.

Apart from Elvis

What about ...Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Jimmy Hendrix, Rihanna, Joe Cocker, Three Dog Night, Nina Simone, Barbra Streisand and so many more...I don't think it matters....there are singers who can't write and writers who can't sing.

Honestly does it really matter.

Is an actor less of an actor cos they've not written the script themself?

I agree. I don't think Dev writes his own stuff.

The most money is to be made by song writing and the second highest amount of money to be made by album sales.

If an artist can either write their own songs or collaborate and be credited on them AND sell albums then kerrrrrrching

One prime example of an astounding pop fact, is the song that rocketed Kylie to a wider audience 'Can't Get You out of my Head' was written by Cathy Dennis and originally offered to Sophie Ellis Bextor. Kylie only took it on cos SEB didn't want it. Turned out to be one of her most (if not the most) iconic tune she's done.

Only just managed to log on today.

I was unecessarily rude last night - i was to eager to post the pic which I found amusing.

I apologise.

I love that picture!

Umbrella, ella, ella was also touted to Britney Spears before Rihanna if I recall correctly.

but a singers voice is its instument *lalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa* They dont need to write music to be good at using it, no? or have i missed the point?
 ORRRRR have i been transported back to the 80s and we are on 'the word' forum and are all grungy dark moody serious music aficionados and someone is about to get their kit off behind us

Damn you and your pop facts! I was trying to be the most cleverest person in this fred ffs! *sulks*

I think my "I blame it on the boogie (written by English singer/songwriter Mick Jackson)" fact was the cleverererest fact on here, by far!!! 

he he Karma,

As a bit of an aficionado of morose, dour and serious music, I do have some pop facts stored too!

Blizz you can hush your beak an all

I'm off to complain about not being able to quote

*** wipes up mess from bleeding heart *** 

So Big Fun didn't write "Blame it on the boogie"? 

Here's the original, for your delectation.
