No we can't, and that's not the point. However, McCartney is not on top of the world. He's a critically acclaimed artist, as is Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and the likes. They are however not the biggest stars on the planet, no matter how you try to turn it around. And just for the record, McCartney doesn't really sell out anywhere apart from the US. Gaga sells more tickets, as does Rihanna.
That's not what I did either. The last huge hit Bon Jovi had was It's My Life, a song not written by him, no matter what Jon and Richie claim. Lady Gaga however co-wrote all her big hits. That's all I was saying. Jon is claiming Lady Gaga is just another one of those talentless pop artists, but she isn't. He's basing his opinion upon the assumptions he's making, just like you do. He's bitching about how artists don't write their own songs, yet he buys songs from other writers, gives them his own twist and claims he wrote them himself. How does that give him any right to bitch about others?
Britney Spears never had any credibilty. And nowadays whenever Britney Spears releases a new song everyone is pretty much saying there's nothing good about it, it's dated beats with an annoying autotuned voice. Christina Aguilera on the other hand has also been praised for her singing talent as she can pretty much sing anything, unlike Jon who struggles with his own songs, a thing Aguilera has never done. Bash her all you want, she has more vocal talent than Jon does.
If you can't compare a rock star who's been around for 30 years to a pop star who's only just getting started, then what gives Jon the right to bash the artists? He was there once, and if he'd be true to himself he'd know it's hard to break through. Instead of just picking on Britney Spears and Bieber he drags in artists who did work for it and do have talent. And that's just taking a cheap shot.
I never said Gaga has more talent than Jon does, it's you who's incapable of reading replies and taking in what's being said. You twist my words around just to stir up an argument, yet you lose it every time I actually reply to you. You make a big deal of making me look like an idiot, yet all I have to do is reply to you and you're back to where you started. Instead of trying so hard to "make me look like an idiot" it'd be smart to actually read the replies you're quoting, because then you'd realize that all you claim I'm doing is just in your head, instead of on this messageboard.
Salaam Aleikum,
