    Why would you make teachers and nurses redundant when there are not enough of them? Bizarre. If they aren’t good enough, then that’s capability and people get dismissed or let go frequently.

    I was a young impressionable girl when I watched this film. I thought (and still do) it was a fantastic movie ahead of it's time with superb acting and puppetry by Jim Henson.

    Superior.

    I don't care whether other people wrote the songs, they are better songs.

    Roxy's best single is 'Dance Away'. Though there aren't any bad ones.

    I was very keen on Jennifer Connelly when I saw her in The Rocketeer.

    Yes, you're out of touch with the situation, but more a debate for the politics section IMUO.

    I don't care. I just start the threads and then populate them with my aliases' opinions. I don't make rules.

    Meh. But sure let’s ask a bunch of middle aged men if they feel they aren’t being treated fairly. That will be a hoot.

    Yes they are.

    Are you seriously claiming that The Beatles aren't better than Jedward? (Albeit not as good as the Monkees).

    Isn't that how all groups feel? That they're treated unfairly? Or is it just middle aged white men who are unqualified to judge what is happening to them?

    anyway I was basing my opinion on having worked with several Times Top 100 recruiters who all specifically have public targets for their hiring demographics. It's all publicly available info

    There will be people who bought Jedward records but not Kraftwerk in the same way there are people who bought Joe Dolce and not Ultravox "Vienna". You prefer Kraftwerk, others prefer Jedward. More innovative, more musically talented, maybe but "better" is subjective.

    Nonsense. Everything is subjective on that basis. What's the point of having reviews of restaurants, plays, movies etc?

    Also, I changed the OP from Kraftwerk to The Beatles to make the point even clearer.

    My point is the same. They're not better unless you define "better" as "more influential", "more successful" etc. There will be people who prefer Jedward songs. My favourite band are "the Cure". I wouldn't get hung up on whether they are "better" than The Beatles or Jedward. I prefer them to both. No-one can just argue that the Beatles are "better" than The Cure. They might prefer them and correctly state they were more successful, influential etc . Better is 100% subjective depending on what you persoanlly prefer and what you're choosing to measure. Is rap music better than heavy metal ?

    No more ridiculous than breakdance which is going to be a "sport" at Paris.

    Btw I was the dogs ******** at egg and spoon. Would do the UK proud if it ever does make the Olympics.

    Oasis are hideously overrated. They’re a poor man’s Beatles, who are also hideously overrated.

    Is a child's smudge that's supposed to be a snowman better than a Matisse?

    There's surely some sort of concept of quality (?craftsmanship?) which can be applied to art (in its broadest sense) albeit that I agree that preference plays a major role and the division into sub-genres makes comparison difficult.

    Incidentally, I am not 'hung up on it', that's not the point of this thread; it's explicitly about 'opinions'...

    Absolutely! I worked at Birmingham Conservatoire. Music students get judged on the quality of their performances. Whether or not the assessors prefer Messiaen to Beethoven is not the issue in the assessment of a recital.

    That one I 100% agree with. Awful samey songs with the same beat since she left the 1980's. Dannii however, brilliant dance music, up tempo and modern. It's just a shame she chooses to focus on television presenting over music.

    I thought some schools did this? Sort of a fun event, well at WGSFG they did this one time, not sure about other schools across the globe.

    I'd like to see backpasses to the keeper allowed again and a return to 2 points for a win.
