    Yes people like to criticize others…people like to see fault in others…same as politics…you support a party..but people will not just support their party but criticize the other party. The same goes for music….for a lot of people who are big fans of their singer/group they will support but criticize another songwriter. Would be easier said than done to support who you like to listen to but appreciate another writer who may not be your cup of tea…but to someone else they are who they enjoy listening to. …same goes for the game of sports.

    That’s why it’s easy to just switch a channel if a songwriter is on that one doesn’t care for, or switch the channel if a particular politician is on or a sports team is playing that one doesn’t care to watch.

    Hey Macy, thank you for replying, I think there are similarities to politics too, there seems to be this “my beliefs are me, and therefore, when I feel my beliefs being attacked, I am being attacked” theme throughout all of these discussions. One thing I forgot to mention was also measuring an artist’s worth by their titles or how critically acclaimed their albums are (sorry if I mentioned that already, I’ not with it today.) Even today I found myself looking at a “greatest r&b albums of the 2000s list” multiple times, because I feel as if I still subconsciously want validation for the stuff I listen to (this list be changing every week, which kind of proved my point.) Or that calling Toni Braxton the “Queen Of R&B” will validate my opinions about her. I also think we’d live in a much happier world if we just live and let live 😀

    I think just be a fan to whatever it is that makes you feel good. Do not get upset when other fans who like another artist attacks your fan group. ..as my grandmother would say…it is what it is and let it be. You can’t change others view points, you can only change yours. Life is too short to fret and get upset….it is what it is…so enjoy the day.

    Myles,

    It can be frustrating when people belittle the things that have touched us so deeply.  Music should open minds and hearts, not close them!  Because we all come from different places and have experienced different things, our reactions to different music will, well, differ!  Perhaps opening our hearts to why others like a certain artist or song can help us understand them, and them understand us.

    Heddwch,

    Shannon
