I got owned by a band member of Cobra Starship on youtube Options

So I never really get on youtube because I dont find it very entertaining. The other day though i missed Cobra Starship on Conan so I logged on to check it out on youtube. I was a little disappointed by their performance so I commented that it wasnt as good as i had hoped and that the girl playing the keytar couldnt dance and theres no point to a keytar. Anyways so the girl who plays the keytar writes me and asks why im hating. i write back saying why should i believe that your really her.

She then writes back with a video attached of her stating my screen name and stuff and it really is her. lol so now im embarassed that the girl actually saw what i wrote and I feel Owned but its also kinda funny too. I wrote her back saying id send her a video of me playing a PlaySkool Keytar if a. i had a keytar and b. had a video camera. anyways just thought id share and post a link to the video. Lots of fans are saying im just jealous but im actually a fan of the band and just dont really think keytar is a real instrument. So theres no jealousy except for the fact she gets to tour around the world. thats cool!

i thought i was going to stay out of this one, but i can't... i work in the industry. i have had to tell artists we don't play their music for numerous reasons: poor recording techniques, bad production values, insensitive or offensive language, out-dated style, and my favourite-- you don't fit our playlist profile. i have been sworn at, cried on, badgered and pestered by the best of the worst and their manager/mommy/boyfriends, whatever. we are talking small market canada east coast mostly rural, minority language artists. i can only guess what that nightmare would be like in a large city. most of them cannot take critique or criticism, constructive or otherwise. if they are going to subscribe to mass internet sites like Youtube, MySpace and Facebook, they had better grow a thicker skin. NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!! Hell, even the Beatles had detractors.

Way to go to Nathalie for expressing her opinions, this time it actually reached the artist. Bravo! Thumbs down to Victoria Asher and anyone else who considers themselves artists and can't take the good with the bad.

I encourage anyone with the same opinion and a membership to any of these sites to copy paste my comments to anyone they ever had a negative comment, critique or criticism for. i would myself but i don't subscribe to these sites just because everyone else does.

i say "Nat for President" because she has an opinion!!! we all should.
