  • It's funny that some of you are so distracted by his makeup. See, children, this is an artist who is successful because of his talent, and not for bowing to your aesthetic tastes. He doesn't need to arrive at an award show in a plastic egg to get attention, nor does he need a huge production on stage to showcase really good songwriting. . Go take some Ritalin, and listen to real music.

  • @cfreyja23 jesus so well said

  • Robert is so cute when he gets attention =]

  • a musical genius , a real one

  • @Auricdeath Well that was a very obnoxious comment. He's obviously not a transvestite. If that's your idea of a 'joke' you've got an awful seance of humour.

  • och nee robert smith :'(

  • Kirascry

    You know it's so nice to see thar I am not the only person that realises that

    I just wish there were more people like us who'd realise that.

  • Ramonesfan990

    Well let's just hope he does lol 

  • @boyxdance i'm not saying they should be 100% unique because a high standard has being set but I'd prefer it if they could just ground something that says: "this is me, this is really me, fuck what the record company says about me." Although I can be biased as I've always had an untainted grudge for the more mainstream record companies.

  • @boyxdance Never knew Disintegration is drak wave but regardless I think it's one of the best albums of all time! =) The thing about todays pop music for me is just there's no statement, everything feels manufactured there's no D-I-Y feeling anymore, the whole "never give up" statement from Bieber has been done before, so has the "I was born this way be yourself" statement that Gaga shoves down peoples throat. Regardless of actual genre, I appreciate any kind of music that has a DIY ethic

  • @Kirascry Rock is a broad genre that includes the white rock and roll (punk, new wave, hard rock, heavy metal, etc) and the black rock and roll (soul, funk, disco, dance, etc)

    This is the real meaning of rock music, it is part of the british and american culture,

    the problem is what some non-american people distorted the real meaning of rock, inventing a subjetive and wrong meaning , they uses rock just for hard rock/metal

    Pop music is just abbreviation of popular music,something general
