I was doing some thinking and started wondering. How on earth do dj's that suck ass and play awful music and can't really mix very well become big name dj's. For example, Louie Devito and Dj Irene are absolutely horrendous dj's. Maybe it's just my opinion but I think I would completely blow them out of the water and make them look like fools if we ever did Vs. show and I'm sure that many or at least some of the dj's on this very message board would also blow them away. So how it that these clowns are famous? I'm not complaining that I'm not famous or anything of the sort because I'm still very young but it boggles my mind that these idiots such as that lesbian Irene & that juiced up roid head Louie Devito have the most popular mix cd's out on the market. Is it just because most people like cheese?

One of the truest statements I've heard all week

sadly, it speaks volumes about american music taste that the first week nyana was released here, it was only 3rd on billboards' dance chart, WAAAAYYYYY behind louis devito.... so shitty...

This is what they do to get big even if they are shit.

Nyana was trash but thats besides the point. The reason that all these so called "cheese" djs play music that a lot of people like and have been smart/lucky enough to create an image and name for themselves that makes booking them logical for the clubs.

That's true plus somehow they made a name for themselves that people now recognize, thus they are booked caus' it will bring clubbers.

the reason people like louie devito cds is because people in america don't care about good transitions...the faster you get from one track to the next the better...it could be a straight switch from one deck to the other and american "clubbers" would prefer that over a slower transition where you could not tell where one track started and the other one ended...maybe the gotta have it now mentality...besides most clubbers only like songs with vocals because they can sing along (albeit terribly) and/or something with a catchy riff...aka Zombie Nation/Darude/Alice Deejay

The problem with DJ irene is shes american, and while there are a few notable exceptions, the majority of american DJ's have no fucking idea about how music is meant to be played. I spoke to an american recently who played me DJ Irene CD, which sounded like a bad cheesy house sampler CD, and then told me 'thats how youre supposed to play hard house'... the point being americans like to do everything different to the rest of the world, even if doing it different means doing it fuck ass backwards, and electronic music is no exception.

As to cheesy european DJs... well the get gigs because they get numbers.... cheesy music is generally so called because it appeals to the masses.
