We really do need to come to grips with the fact that, sometimes, people are going to be on opposite sides of a fence. And if there's anything I've learned here at JUB, it's that you cannot convince ANYBODY (especially here) that their favorite artist doesn't shit rainbows. It doesn't matter what "proof" you present.
If you show a video of Diva screeching out a horrible rendition of a classic tune, either Diva was "brilliantly recasting a boring song", or Diva was deathly ill but gamely went on stage anyway.
If you show pictures or video of Diva staggering drukenly around , either Diva was displaying her wicked sense of humor, or Diva works so hard at providing quality entertainment that it's starting to take its toll.
If you show video of Diva shooting a nun in the face at pointblank range, the bitch in the penguin suit totally had it coming.
Let Diva's fans enjoy her work, and when they begin arguing over whether Diva is the best thing to happen to recorded music, or the best thing to happen to the Planet Earth, just shrug and go back to listening to whatever it is YOU like.
