hey folks
well how about we start a list for the biggest fall from grace from BIG musicians?
well heres a list:
Michael Jackson - this thread should be titled the 'Michael Jackson thread' in terms of matching the whole disintegration process and falling out of favour with the public eye
Prince- is in a race against michael jackson in trying to outdo each other's decline, though in prince's case, he has not self mutilated himself physically, rather just his name
Mariah Carey - shes the female answer to michael jackson, her behaviour is far more disturbing than michael's, which is some accomplishment
richard james - hes not a very kinky guy, the kind you dont want to bring home to mother, had he not spent so much time in jail, he might have written more songs than just 'Superfreak'
Whitney Houston - i remembered back in the late 80s where every song she released was just a number 1 hit, she lives on by reputation only
roxette - vanished! they were just big (the biggest thing out of scandanavia since ABBA), then they just vanished into thin air, and have been replaced in the shortterm by the "next biggest scandanavian act" since (Ace of Base, M2M, the Hives, etc... etc...)
Guns n Roses- faded real fast when the whole idea of 'nobody likes a bogan' set in, mind you how a band with the voice of Axl Rose made so many millions escapes me
Bon Jovi - Jon gets by on his fledgling acting career these days, have just lost the ability to deliver 'hits' like they once did
Inxs- even before michael ended his life this band had suddenly lived on past hits and celebrity status, and the early 90s were embracing alternative music and big 80s artists choosing to become weird (u2, madonna), as a result inxs' form of straightforward Pop-rock just wasnt prominant anymore
the cranberries- delores and the whole anorexia rumours in the mid 90s just killed off this band, once touted to be as big as U2
