After WEEKS of NUMEROUS CROWING. I repeat....WTF!!!!!!" I just visited Brian's site, and even though he REGULARLY CROWS about the show, and it's obvious he LOVES the exposure, and more obviously finds the show's concept morbid, after WEEKS OF NUMEROUS CROWING, I didn't see ONE mention EVER from Brian's soapbox about the INXS show until his post a few days days ago. So my question to you is: Where are these crowings, and WTF are you reading? |

Dear you must be reading a website by someone also named Brian May and not THE Brian May from Queen, because EVERY week, there are news items on Brian's website about Rock Star: INXS, about Mig, about what contestant is singing a Queen song, yada, yada. WTF INDEED! :) Oh...and Open your eyeballs, next time when you read through Brian's website. Sometimes he posts it on Queen news, sometimes on letters, sometimes on Brian news, sometimes on the soapbox section itself, but every week there is news...more so than on Queenzone. Here we debate about it, but on Brian's site he gives news. Ok..I am going to the store, buying you prescription READING glasses.... LOL |

Brian does not post news articles, Jen does. Brian has barely mentioned it himself. So infact Brian has not been going on and on about it. Perhaps you should check your facts. |

No need to start a 2nd thread about the same subject, when you could save space and not clog up the board with a duplicate thread...when you could have easily put your response to my post in the thread about Rock Star INXS where I made my comment that is copied into this topic.

Rock Star INXS News on Brian's website... ...just from September alone, dated 9/6, 9/7, 9/8 then his letter 9/11 just for September alone. More news, August 31, August 29, August 27, August 26, August 25, and so on. Maybe you should do YOUR facts...actually, you just want to believe what you want to believe. Go check all of these dates on his website. |
| PieterMC 13.09.2005 14:59 |
Yes they are news articles that Jen posted, not Brian. Brian has never praised the show on his website. |
| Boy Thomas Raker 13.09.2005 15:15 |
Once again, as you are a journalist, Arlene: You said, "Brian REGULARLY CROWS about this show on his website." No he doesn't. You said, "I don't think more than 2 days go by without Brian going off about how wonderful the show is." He has never done this once, and never commented in 2 months. You said, "Brian reviewing it la da la da." He's never said anything about it, let alone review it. You said, "....Then...all of a sudden today...Brian finds the show's concept morbid and doesn't like it. After WEEKS of NUMEROUS CROWING." He had done no crowing about it, ever. You're being called out as your reporter role should be held to a higher standard. You're posting as fact what is 100% fiction. In fact, there is nothing true in your original post about Brian going on. Therefore, WTF. |

It's not 'Jen's' website - it's BrianMay.com (or whatever) - so therefore +he (by default) endorses the comments expressed through his vehicle your comments are tanatamount to saying that if a dog bites someone then the owner isn't liable...v.odd, indeed |
| Penetration_Guru 13.09.2005 15:52 |
So Arlene still posts links to sites we would all go to anyway? Thanks for confirming it... |
| Boy Thomas Raker 13.09.2005 16:00 |
That's fine Brenski, but that's not what Arlene is saying. If Jen posts a link about Brian's alleged collaboration with Mig, is Brian crowing? If there's a note about WATC being played on RockStar INXS, is Brian crowing? If Brian's never said one word about the show, do you think he's REGULARLY CROWING about it? If you do, THAT'S v. odd. |
| Crazy LittleThing 13.09.2005 16:11 |
Actually, I seem to recall reading Brian's comments on brianmay.com--from posted interviews as I recall or maybe in his responses to letters to Brian's Soapbox--where people ask him to support someone on (insert locality here) Idol, and his response is that he DOESN'T like such shows, and gives his reasons why. Some of the stuff that Jen posts falls under what she categorizes as (something like) "music industry news and news from 'out there'" and I think that's where some X Idol and INXS Scrounging for New Lead Singer show notices have been posted as "industry news" not as "this just in from the lips of Brian May!" I agree it can be confusing, but it is my understanding that Brian's input is limited to "Brian's Soapbox" |

Arlene, you lose. When someone crows, they are expressing emotion or opinion. The 'news' about the show is just bland facts. Brenski, neither Brian nor Jen are dogs. |

Brian and the news section don't have anything to do with each other, though...he writes his Soapbox, the rest is in Jen's hands. How could he be crowing about the show if he has no responsibility for the articles being posted? Anything having to do with Queen, even the tiniest detail of Robbie Williams singing We Will Rock You on Live 8 or something like that is put up there - not because of Brian's opinions on the subjects, but because it's news. |

What's the point of this topic? |
| Boy Thomas Raker 14.09.2005 10:07 |
Arlene responded to a post about INXS Rockstar with a lengthy diatribe about how she read Brian's piece attacking the show that he REGULARLY CROWS about on his website, and she was so incredulous that he'd turn on the show after him reviewing it and loving it for the attention, she exclaimed "WTF?", as in "Brian, WTF is with the about face?" I started the topic to point out that Arlene posted a 100% mistruth about Brian's views on INXS Rockstar, backed it up with facts, and asked her WTF? is the reigning journalist of Queenzone doing posting ridiculous lies. I expect more of her, she's not a 12 year old who thinks Bohemian Rhapsody is about AIDS, so I called her out on it in a new thread. Would you rather I start new topics about favourite songs? |
| james gaden 2072 14.09.2005 10:48 |
Can I just add, as a writer for a music magazine myself, I'd rather not be tarred with the brush as many journalists deservedly get. Everything I write is, to the best of my knowledge, truthful and all my interviews follow the transcripts of my recordings to the letter. If asked to write my opinion, I always give it truthfully and back it up with facts. Without that, what worth is somebody's opinion? That said, there are some real scum who will write or twist anything in a bid to be outrageous and get people's attention. I think they aren't even worthy of being called journalists. JG |

"Serry... WTF? There's something wrong with your English", "John S. Stuart... WTF? There was mistake in your Ultimate Collection" etc. etc. It's not the Johnny Knoxville case with his dozens of Red Special FAQ topics - Arlene didn't start about 10 topics about Brian's website at least. |

Need we beat this to death? In summary: 1. Brian hates reality shows. Period. 2. Jen @ BrainMay.com and Arlene are obviously obsessed, possessed, and starving for attention, posting every little snippet involving any little thing that even remotely resembles something that might microscopically appear to be the teensiest bit related to Queen or one of its members, regardless of its complete and sheer lack of value to anyone but these two 'dueling data divas.' 3. All of you are wasting precious minutes of your lives overanalyzing a bunch of non-essential, inconsequential drivel. 4. Which brings us back to Kevin Bacon. I win. |
| Fenderek 15.09.2005 09:26 |
Phenix is right- Arlene and Jen are similar in one thing- posting a lot of stuff even remotely connected to Queen in HUGE quantities... Maybe that's why she (Arlene) has a problem with Brian's site? ;)
