If you want "the downfall of music" from that same period, look no further than the awful fucking mainstream rock music being made in the mid to late 70s.

Deep Purple, Rush, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker, the WHO.....

Kelly has a dad whos famous and a mom whos the biggest dick in the music industry so of course her daughter will get a video and a musical career break long before anyone with real talen will.

 

The record industry is perhaps the most shallow and heartless in all the world of entertainment, yet somehow Sharon Osbourne is "the biggest dick" of them all. Given that she's an exceptionally smart businesswoman, I do not exactly understand what she has done to deserve this title; yes, Jack would have never gotten his A & R deal were it not for her--Ozzy's name helps, but he's too mentally incompetent to get work for anyone, much less his own family--but I do not understand how this makes her a "dick," much less "the biggest dick in the music industry," a place brimming with soulless slime. Just because she works with rock bands I do not like does not mean I cannot respect her mental accumen.

I don't like Deep Purple. Rush and Pink Floyd were both bloated prog bullshit at that point. Sabbath and Led Zepplin, I can't argue with. Early Van Halen is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. Tom Petty is good. The Who had seen better days.

 

Then, of course, you have bands like Journey, Foreigner, Boston, Kansas, Styx, KISS, etc. that totally sucked and completely robbed rock music of its vitality, energy, and cultural significance. My point, as far as what that other guy said, is that I'd take The Carpenters over any one of those bands and definitely over anything glutting up mainstream music right now.

my whole point about jack was that he was young and not some guy in a suit out just for money.

 

That's why I say he seems to being playing with daddy's money.

Go listen to her on the stern show with ICP as guest.(Lies lies lies) People go to icp shows for ICP, NOT anyone else(unless a psychopatic label mate is also there)(i used to be a huge icp head, sue me) She claims...i forget the bands name, was getting jipped and stuff like that(band was coal chamber) Ok, you put a untested band with icp and think they're gonna sell. PLEASE, thats like Merideth brooks(famous for that one hit "bitch") NOT expecting to get booed off stage at a stones concert, which happend. And she goes on and on hows shes ozzys wife and stuff like that. Icp was all like, we dont give a fuck who you are, damn straight jay.

 

And she wins biggest dick because she didnt get into the music industry(or atleast not to my knowledge, but i havent followed her career or anything), she MARRIED into it. IF she was in the music industry before, well being married to a rock god will suddenly open a ton more doors, and get you a tv show.

 

I dont mind that jack is a rat, so song as hes not making his own music videos and not trying to sing, its pretty safe to bet that children of rock stars are major fuck ups who seldom turn around in time. Jack can be behind cameras and I dont care, so long as he's not taking up my time doing a cover song. Fact, covering a song might be a good shot in the arm for your career, but its not a wise long term investment, see bizkit,limp and manson, marilyn for proof.

 

You had carpenters, which was so much softer then everything else on the radio, it started the music change, that change became disco. UCK!

Still guys like sabbath, van halen, etc, decided to not let rock completely die, even if some of that stuff sucked just as hard.

 

Nirvanna gave us the best era of music because it was more open and loud then ever before, what it lacks in intellgence and repeating subjects(death, suicide, teen angst), it made up with true emotional connections that havent been felt since the 60s, even if it was on a more limited palete(teens and not everyone). But I think the connection to the youth was just so powerful(like 1 in 3 teens thought about suicide on a weekly bases in the mid 90's, so the music hit a pretty large audience) that this music is more improtant, despite its nature of beening dark and depressing, because it will motivate alot of the youth to do something. I mean when you come away from the worst parts of your life, it can only go up.

Kelly Osbourne's entire "gimmick" -- for lack of a better word -- is that she's Ozzy's daughter. That's why her first single is "Papa Don't Preach." Eventually she'll run out of song remakes that have the words "Dad," "Papa," or "Father" in the title, and then she'll fade into oblivion. Just wait it out and plug your ears.

[Guest Madmartigan21]

They wanted Aimee Osbourne, Ozzy and Sharon's oldest daugter to sing on the CD. I'm surprised they even asked her. She didn't want to be on the show so much , that she was living in a condo down the street during the filming of the Osbournes. I'm guessing that she has the better voice and that's why they asked her.

 

Sharon is the daughter of Black Sabbath's original manager, the one that screwed them out off all the money they made during the 70's. She worked for his company before meeting Ozzy. If you watch the Behind the Music about Ozzy, you'll see she basically revitalized both his career and his life. She bascially had to sever all ties with her father in order to do so. The whole thing was a really bad situation.

WOW Ozzy is getting scrwed over by a family, thats wicked.
