The more popular something is, the more people hate it. It's hard to hate something you've never heard of.

I dont think hes less popular in general, only that his big hype is finally dying down. As for this website, the reason hes not as popular anymore is because people that actually do like him are afraid to admit it due to all the bashers.

i like him, i respect him what he has done for the trance scene. Is he my favorite dj/producer? No. i think his time has passed but that doesnt mean im gonna bash the guy (just like alot of people are doing these days). Now its time for other DJs/Producers to step up and make us appriciate trance and love it as we have always have.

Oh boy, another thread about Tiesto's popularity!

we can call him the god of cheese

Like Floorfiller mentioned, it doesn't really have to do with popularity itself; it has to do with the quality of an artist's work compared to that popularity. If an artist consistently produces quality work, then by all means they deserve the credit.

Tiesto changed his focus from quality work to market exposure after 2002. It might have worked for a short while, but lasting artists are built on lasting work, not marketing. Just Be was pathetic compared to In My Memory, loaded with would-be hits like Paul's Reflections. His remixes of Skin and Kane pale compared to Flesh and Sunrise. His DJing slipped to boot.

Not to be too elitist or anything, but most people who really respected Tiesto for what got him where he is have been waiting for the Oakie-styled fall since 2003.

It ebbs and flows.

Who the fuck mentioned oakenfold? He sucks... dick.

He fucking pulls out of his ass crap mainstream bullshit like 'starry eyed suprise'. He licks balls, and he licks the balls of anyone who is holding up a check with five figures on it.

I ain't marc summers you twat, I just picked the name because I was watching old school stuff on nick.

Tiesto is a fine dj, and one of the greatest producers.....its just the jealus/insecure people that call him down, of course if ur number one people will talk shit about you. I have liked his dj'n since before 2000, and i still think he is a dandy dj.
