Had to Youtube The Blizzards there. Oh dear oh dear, that's some awful rubbish altogether! But I suppose it's not aimed at me. Fair enough.

ok sorry, well the ones that get an average wage are okay then. The rest should be given an average wage also.

I tend to agree, when you see 19yo Brazilian kids going to PSG for 35k a day! in wages, you know something is very wrong with this world

Why? People are free to spend their own money how they wish. Would you prefer to be told what you can and can't spend your money on?

The point is how much they are paid, when you're getting paid 35k a day for kicking a ball about, you have to begin to question the sanity of the sport. I don't care what he spends it in, faberge eggs & solid gold toilets for all I care

They are being paid 35k a week because they offer value we simply don't.

REM who can actually play, write their own stuff and perform live are now worse than a bunch of kids who are probably miming manufactured drivel. :rolleyes:

You've majorly misinterpreted me. People are listing out the likes of Jedward, Bieber etc - these are not over-rated in a critical sense. No critic would even think about them, let alone rate them.
Over-rated, to me anyway, means critically lauded generally speaking but you can't understand what the fuss is about. For me, that's REM. I don't think they're atrocious or anything but I definitely don't understand why they are deemed so brilliant either.

Jennifer Lopez, a money grabbing cnut who can't hold down a boyfriend or husband because her personality makes Madonna look like a Florence Nightingale.

A completely average singer and as for her looks....walk down Roosevelt Avenue in Queens in New York, or any Hispanic neighbourhood, and "J-Lo" would be in the mediocre bracket at best.

Paul McCartney is another average arsehole. A mediocre musician and a thoroughly average singer. Genius? My bollocks!

I'm not a fan of him myself but after having seen the guy live I can assure you that you're talking out of your arse.

Genius? Maybe not. Mediocre musician, average singer? lol

I watched a 67 year old man wipe the floor with most lads half his age with at least 4 encores and the crowd (the sold out O2) were literally mesmerised.

He didn't even need his backing band except for the drummer maybe, he was that good. Piano, electric and acoustic guitar and bass guitar with not a bother on him. Not a single note out of place.

Don't know many mediocre musicians who can manage that sort of feat.

Ok fair enough. You are tlaking about critical acclaim and probably acceptance from fellow professionals.
I wouldn't rate REM as brilliant, but I would rate them as pretty good.
And to show what I mean by good I rate all the teenbopper manufactured sh**e as just that, sh**e.

People rate him as a writer and even poet rather than a singer.

The sad thing is that if the likes of the simon cowells and the TV talent shows had their way we would never really get to hear the likes of Dylan or any of the other so so singers like Mark Knopfler, Leonard Cohen, etc even though these guys are brilliant writers or musicians.

Harry Potter, I know it is children's/teen fiction which I never read, but recently I seen the box set. It was good, but no-way 300million book sales worth.

I read all the children's/teen fiction when younger, there is better out there. But Harry Potter was very imaginative. Perhaps I was expecting more or as an adult the story was not written for me..

I don't think that many people rate Dylan's voice, his music is really centred on the lyrics. In fact, it's his voice that stops a lot of people from getting into him, from my experience. People take one listen and just because he doesn't sound like Marvin Gaye, they immediately turn it off and don't want to hear any more. I think it would be more of an unpopular opinion to say that you do like his voice.

There's no Brazilian kid on 35K per day. Only the most elite players get that sort of money, and they make up only a small % of pro footballers. 35K per week is standard enough at most Premier League clubs alright (not all though, some would be paying a bit less). It's obscene money I know but unfair of you to imply they all get that sort of money. Most professional fotballers would be on far far less than even 35K per week let alone per day.

I have already stated here that players in the lower leagues earn an average wage, I never implied otherwise. But if you see the team I mentioned you will know they aren't in the premier league, and that they are paying crazy wages. Ok, 35k a day was the top newspaper report I saw & supposed to include bonuses etc, but still, basic salary is going to be huge, prob quarter mill a month.

I know this is said about all book to movie franchises. But you cannot judge the Harry Potter books by the movies. There is so much missing from the movies that the books give you, it's almost criminal.

Yeah I agree, started reading them as a kid and finished them as an adult and really enjoyed them. Didn't see all the films, but the ones I did were fairly awful I thought.

HP mightn't be the greatest childrens' books ever written, but they helped inspire a generation of children to read, which can never be over rated.

In fairness, most LoIrl clubs are in poor financial health, can't blame Roddy for all that mess.

I'm seeing Bill Hicks pop up here a lot and I'd like to address it. He wasn't a comedian and he would have told you that himself.

He was a social commentator (and a damn fine one) who just happened to express his ideas in a funny way.

He couldn't care less if he made you laugh, as long as he made you think.

He was a comedian and considered himself so.

You have a point about Dylan as a singer but because he had so many great songs I could not have him on an over-rated list.

David Gray is a great call, hate his whiny nasal voice.

I will add lady gaga to the list. I dont get her.

Ever heard of The Godfather II? Up there as one of the greatest films ever made. He speaks multiple Sicilian dialects for almost the entire movie, with only a few lines in English. There probably is an argument to be made that he ain't what he used to be, but back in the day that man was a pretty incredible actor.

I saw part 1 and 3. I thought the first one was boring enough but the third was class. Must check out part two sometime

Oh yeah, I agree. He just said that he thought part 1 was boring, so I'm just saying that I dunno how he'll find the second part given it's even longer than the first one. Personally, I think the first part is the best of the three, although De Niro is incredible in the second. Pacino really comes into his own in the second one too, but I love Marlon Brando in the first one and also Michael's whole journey.

Let's just assume that Sully is 12 and thinks Meet The parents was De Niro's big break in Hollywood.
