Taking Sides: Gomez Vs Britney Spears

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Oh man do Gomez suck. They suck big! Worst band ever, possibly. Britney, on the other hand, has done some top pop tunes - so fecking catchy you'll be humming them in your sleep...

"Lucky", "Stronger", "Oops I did it Again"... you can't go wrong with them. I got the "Oops I did it Again" CD second hand and whilst I've only given it a whirl a coupla times, I just know that if I ever have the party to end all parties it will have the dust blown off.

But who would party to Gomez? God these guys suck. Britney wins!

Since Britney is one of the most putrid recording artists of all time, I think she begins this competition in the negative and only threatens victory when competing against Third Eye Blind

gomez > Spears
don't want to sound like a cliche, but the girl is the least entertaining/interesting pop star in my mind. I don't find her attractive, I don't like her music. I'll readily admit guilty pleasures of hundreds of other pop stars, but Britney doesn't do it for me.

Ditto. Everyone who has taken the students' side appear to be existing in some bizarre parallel dimension where shit is good. FFS THEY WENT TO MANCHESTER FOR A PISSUP AND STOLE A TRAFFIC CONE or something AND THEN WROTE A SONG ABOUT IT, AND RELEASED IT AS A SINGLE. AND YOU'RE DEFENDING THEM

No, her next single is supposed to be Breathe On Me, and then The Wanking Song as the fifth. Foolish lass that she is ignoring the mighty Brave New Girl.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

No, her next single is supposed to be Breathe On Me, and then The Wanking Song as the fifth.

Apparently The Wanking Song will be a double A-side with "(I Got That) Boom Boom" - the more I think about it the more I think that "Breathe On Me" is the really bizarro choice of single, it should totally be "Brave New Girl".

I think I secretly agree with CRW on a lot of these, though mostly both the bands he picks are unadulterated shite. I can't believe ANYONE prefers G***z to Our Brit.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

This 'The Wanking Song': are you meaning 'Touch of my Hand'?

No, it's "The Wanking Song". Someone posted the lyrics here on another ILX board, yeah?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Britney produces fantastic pop tunes, I'd sooner fist a donkey than have to sit through a Gomez concert (I saw them before Primal Scream at T in the PArk 2002 and they were crap, and the lead singer's ginger).

― CRW (CRW), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This to me is the acme of British mentalism: the whole "let's hate on ginger blokes" bullshit. What the hell is wrong with you people, I see this on football websites too, it's crazy, leave your little island, get some perspective, buy or rent a life if this bothers you (if you're CRW get a couple of them), what an absolutely absurd national/cultural prejudice. I mean we have our problems but seriously.

Britney may "carry herself nicely" in interviews, but she also says really retarded things. Her quote on Bush ("I think we should just trust every decision Bush makes", or something like that), was one of the most ignorant things I've ever seen. Yes, don't veer from the beaten path or ever disagree with someone!

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I've looked it up on many occasions, you goofball. What I did is something called "paraphrasing", idiot.

Besides, when I did a yahoo search for "Britney Spears" and "Bush", I got some very interesting results....

Here is the exact quote, though, for you, Rainbow Brite:

"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens."

I don't know any President, even those I've elected, that I've felt comfortable supporting and trusting every decision they've made, and ESPECIALLY not this one. What an ignorant way to tell a populace not to dare think for themselves.

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

They had a top 40 single a few months ago. OMG CURSE OF TEH MERCUREEE PRIYZE!!!!!111

(x-post)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, because we know that Britney sure is influencing the voters.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Right, and because she's not, the quote isn't stupid, mmhmm?

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I disagree with the quote. That doesn't automatically mean that the quote is stupid. Naive, yes; stupid, no (assuming that you think democracy/representative republicanism works).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, cos Britney Spears should really give a shit about whether or not the populace is stupid enough to blindly follow what some random singer has to say about politics. That definitely is her problem and she should never, ever again speak her opinion unless it has been pre-approved by indie fuckwads on ILM.

Paraphrashing versus directly misquoting (Bush /= the office of the President, though you "neatly" cleaned up your noted misstatement by pointing out your own opinion of people you've elected), you'd have failed your ENG101 final essay with that bullshit.

I wonder what Gomez has to say, oh right no one cares.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

At any rate, Britney has done plenty of other things that show much more density than this quote (like releasing "I'm Not A Girl (Not Yet A Woman)" as a single).

Ally is completely OTM; have fun when it comes to your college essays.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

although statements like that do make me wish for the power to strangle people through my tv - seriously what do you expect. (methinks she could be a commie with viewpoints like that tho)

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I'm Not A Girl (Not Yet A Woman) is a horrifyingly terrible song, what in the world?

xpost haha didn't commie stop being an insult in 1987 or so? dyson, are you 73?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

"commie" is actually an insult¿ i thought it meant communist¡

― Øbstrperøus Øyster (Øystein H-O), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, you accompanied it by stating a wish to strangle people in general, so I assumed perhaps "commies" also got your goat. I assume that about Canadians in general though.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think everything I disagree with is "stupid", but that quote of hers just reeks of ignorance and sheep-ism. I can't respect that.

"Honestly, I think someone who committed such atrocities deserves such a punishment. Next time, he'll think twice before doing the crime."

That one is even better. Though I'm wondering if she really said it.

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

"Paraphrashing versus directly misquoting (Bush /= the office of the President, though you "neatly" cleaned up your noted misstatement by pointing out your own opinion of people you've elected), you'd have failed your ENG101 final essay with that bullshit."

You're an idiot. The quote she gave was in response to the question WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

Idiot.

And, I don't think I'll have to worry about college essays, being that I already have my degree. Perhaps you'd like the read the 18 page content analysis I just got one of hte highest marks on in my Crime in the Media class?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

err, alright, so the first question she responded to wasn't "what's your opinion on President Bush", but it was about the war in Iraq, which was sponsored by President Bush, which clearly implies, along with the words "our President", which was a comment not made in a general sense, whom she was talking about.

It was an ignorant comment regardless, though. Nobody is worth blind faith.

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

well, that and the fact that she was asked directly about him the next question down.

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

"That definitely is her problem and she should never, ever again speak her opinion unless it has been pre-approved by indie fuckwads on ILM."

That's just moronic. Nobody ever debated Britney's right to state her opinion, but how does that preclude one from having the right to criticize her opinion?

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Where the hell are you geeks getting that I'm an indie kid? Presumptuous dumbasses.

speaking of ENC1101, I never had to take it since I got a 5 on the AP English exam in high school. booyah.

fyi, who the fuck is Gomez?

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, we get it, you don't like Britney and almost all pop music, there's no need to hijack all these threads and remind everyone of that.
Perhaps you'd like the read the 18 page content analysis I just got one of hte highest marks on in my Crime in the Media class?
Am I supposed to be impressed? Flaunting one's education on ILM isn't a way to win arguments, or increase credibility of one's viewpoint.

Ally criticising someone for not looking something up = a bit two faced.

The same Ally whose vivisection arguements (i.e. "monkeys are bred to be killed anyway"/ "all I hear you saying are monkeys are more important than humans" etc etc) are among the most uneducated I've ever come across?

Come on! Leave the guy alone, his point about Britney was a valid one, just not relevant to her fine pop tunes.

― CRW (CRW), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

"Am I supposed to be impressed? Flaunting one's education on ILM isn't a way to win arguments, or increase credibility of one's viewpoint."

Can you fucking read? I wasn't the one that brought it up, Ally was, when he mentioned I would probably fail ENC1101.

Good God, you people have some selective memories.

As for hating almost all pop music, it must be flattering to think that because I don't like your favorite artists I therefore must not like most all of pop music. After all, Britney Spears is the epitome of pop, right?

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

No she mentioned you would fail the generic ENG 101, whereas you responded with a list of your real accomplishments.

― CRW (CRW), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Which was in response to a jab by Venga implying I would have a hard time succeeding in college. Again, looking solely at one side of the coin shows your bias.

I'm hardly one that goes throwing my credentials around because there are people out there much more qualified than I and I don't believe in it anyway. But when provoked, it's pretty dumb to accuse me of doing that.

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

It must also be flattering to think that you're above all the people who somehow manage to enjoy some Britney Spears tunes even though they just doesn't give a flying fuck that Britney's a ditz when it comes to politics.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Now you're just being dumb. When did I claim, or even imply that I was above anybody here because they liked Britney Spears? You're bordering on Rollie's presumptuous tendencies now.

You think I don't have any pop guilty pleasures, you're wrong.

Or bother connecting her stupidity to the quality of her music? The statement I made about her interviews was in direct response to someone mentioning the content of her interviews.

Calm down? Let me tell you something about "calming down," my friend. "Calming down" is what losers do the minute before victory slides from their hands. "Calming down" is what snivelling babies do just before they get ready to take "no" for an answer. "Calming down" is for people like you. And as soon as I break free from Andre's grip, I'll helpo you calm down, if that's what you want.

no you see thats where you are wrong. getting worked up over what is being said on a thread is pointless. you DO need to calm down and not be so uptight.

― CAss (CAss), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Uhm, if anybody seems calm, I would say it would be him :)

― uh (eetface), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

(Cass: you'll note that "Greg the Hammer" is not actually getting worked up over the thread's contents. That's because Greg "the Hammer" Valetine is a wretler from the '70s - a villain, or "heel" specifically - who liked to get worked up. His comments above had to do with Nate ascribing the figure four to Ric Flair - the conceit is that Valetine's gettin' all mad, see, 'cause he used to use the figure-four to break his opponents' legs.

So, to summarize: it'd probably be best for you if you figured out what was going on before commenting on it. And now, a word from Greg "the Hammer" Valentine.)

CAss WHICH END OF YOU IS THE ONE WITH THE EARS? IT'S HARD TO TELL BY LOOKIN' AT YOU! BRING IT, CAss! AWWWW, YEAHHHHHH!

Hnh, ain't nobody gonna take my e-mail stride. You jus' get right on back to your cute little books there, Barry-boy.

Let us settle this debat with google-images:

Gomez =

Britney Spears =

I think it's fair to say that Gomez wins this one, even if Britney gets points for originality.

I got what you were spoofing too, idiot. Don't imply that you're of some greater intelligence because you can satirize something I said poorly in exhibitionist child talk.

Oh, I am so AMAZED.

May I quote myself, from an interview I gave Jeff Walton prior to my not-for-the-title match against Al Madril? Thanks: "If I tell you that the blood is going to drip from his eyes, then you'd better bring your handkerchief so you can dip it into the blood." Man, sometimes my ad-libs are even better than the script. "Bring your handkerchief." I'm glad I saved the tape of that one.
