Of course. Coming on forums like these, you get a selection of persons already there. Then checking out threads that bash you, you get yet another selection there, so naturally it's going to be filled with people who think you're shit (not _the_ shit, but shit); because of this, there will also be some people (although not nearly as many) who think you're _the_ shit who come in trying to defend you.
Add to that that no one who comes on here cares about the Grammys, and that Junos are like a lesser version of the Grammys, about which even fewer people care, and it's only natural that people will talk more about you acting like a diva than getting an award that only really indicates that you've reached commercial success (commercial success typically depending on a commercial sound, which not all too seldom goes hand in hand with dumbed down musical content to suit the musically dumbed down public), which is something the people on here (remember the selection) care even less for.
So, all in all - publicity stunt or not - it has perhaps given you more exposure (and from what I've been told it seems that in North America all exposure is good exposure) left many of those in Olso, and on the Internet (located in various places around the globe - myself in Stockholm, Sweden) feeling that what you did was careless, arrogant, and completely disrespectful to those who went there that evening. Most, I think will agree that Markus can handle the situation, but you put the promoter in a spot in which they did not want to be, and left many fans (because yes, Markus has them too) disappointed as they paid to see either the both of you, or specifically Markus, and were robbed (so to speak) of that opportunity.
If it was a move from your management, I'd have a long talk with them about how things are run (integrity and all that, might want to look up that word); If i t was a move from yourself (a) I wouldn't lie to people about it being your management making the call, and (b) I'd grow a backbone and try to act like a professional. Also, if you want (although you either seem not to, or try hard to make it come across this way) sympathy for your side of things (a) indifference isn't the way to go, and (b) not contradicting yourself (ie. being forthright) goes a long way; currently, with all your posts, it just comes across as you being two-faced.
Also, if you want to find people who particularly care that you won a Juno (I'm not quite sure if you're surprised or not about that this - and many topics like it - got so many hits, while your Juno thread hardly got any), you might want to try www.commercialhouseaddict.com.
Congratulations on winning the Juno, though. |
Thank you
