Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:22pmYou also reacted emotionally and so did the rest of the gang. They smelled blood and went on the attack. That is an emotional reaction. Trolling works on all sides.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:22pmWhat emotional reaction was dblue looking for? One of "Oh"? You got all bent out of shape, no one else.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:22pmI'm loving the color assigned to this meltdown: "highly saturated ginger"....does it come in a boot?

I totally forgot this glowing review.
"In a Broadway musical, Aiken is perfect—he can throw that cheesy, octave-spanning man-voice of his around all he wants and hit all those honky gospel notes. It sounds great! He can slowly, slowly raise his arms in the air as he holds a note for 45 minutes. He can make his corny, cartoony facial expressions, and onstage, they’re utterly appropriate. Also, musical theater takes place in a land only slightly more erotically charged than Smurf Village, so here Aiken’s suppressed, indeterminate sexuality seems logical, usual, male. And he doesn’t seem hick. Partly because the twang is replaced by an equally theatrical Cockney and partly because he’s in a funny show. (The theme of his big number is “You won’t succeed on Broadway if you don’t have any Jews.”) Every joke gets a roar. “When I’m up here onstage, I’ll be the idol of my age,” he sings, and the women go crazy. You can almost feel them sucked toward him by some unholy mix of maternal yearning and abject horniness."

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:25pmI see one of Mikers' other personalities has posted in other threads about how some people think reviews should only be posted if they agree with them. How ironic.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:27pmMikers, that is not a review from Joseph, which is obvious from the references to Broadway... and, well, from the entire review. I have no opinion on other shows he's done, because I haven't seen them.

That's a review from goddamn Spamalot.
...and it's sort of damning with praise.

To say nothing of the fact that "You can almost feel them sucked toward him by some unholy mix of maternal yearning and abject horniness" is hardly a glowing review.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:29pmReviewing the audience is really bad form but his review of Clay's immense talent is on the money.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:30pmShirley Maclaine, are you sucked toward Clay by some unholy mix of maternal yearning and abject horniness?

Please copy and paste the part of my review where I said Clay does not have talent. You can't seem to pinpoint it. I'm sure that's not because it didn't happen...
Oh.

Not at all, I'd just like you to back up your statements. I backed up every single one of mine in my original post.

Yes, Mikers. Which exact comments in dblue's review did you find offensive?
#215Clay Aiken as Joseph
Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:37pm
I agree with me but it is different if the "review" is only posted to cause an emotional reaction. That is called trolling.
No, it isn't. Because that is not what happened.

"All the ones that were unnecessarily negative."
Like what? Everything I said that wasn't a glowing review, I backed up with reasons why. Doesn't sound unnecessary to me.

Yes it is. That is the only reason you are here. dblue chummed the water and you came seeking blood.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:40pmYou still haven't explained how I "chummed the water." No specific examples, and nothing to back up your statement. Your argument is weak and now you're just grasping at straws.

First of all, everyone is responding to YOU. Not dblue or anything dblue did.
Second of all: come on. Share some choice hateful quotes from the review.

That's why she's desperately trying to win back the attention.

Posted: 8/5/13 at 3:45pmAnswer my question: what specific sentences in that review were unnecessarily negative?
