Zupe is TERRIBLE!!!!

[Zupe]

I wanted to show you the "WONDERFUL" email I received this morning (anonymously, of course). It was actually on my website's guestbook. Here it is, in it's entirety, and presented to you with no edits on my part (I apologize to everyone who values good grammar):

Zupe, your awful. I watched one of your video's on youtube called " Let's Dance " Good God that was just about has bad as getting Aids from a homeless man. You play at old people home's and I have heard even them say you should stop. Please do us all favor and either learn how to play or just go play in traffic. Oh and nice wig.... Thank you for being awful

So, Should I Quit? ...
It's obvious that this person is clearly an expert on such matters. I've fooled everybody, from the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, to The Grammys®, to Broadjam's Top 10 Charts, to my various publishers, clients, and even Toni, my hairstylist at Top 10 Salon in Duncansville!

You Be The Judge ...
I would like YOU to judge for yourself. Check out the video and, PLEASE, leave a comment!

Zupe, I always thought that was a damned wig! And how dare you exploit homeless musicians in your videos!? And stop torturing senior citizens!

Obviously, 'Your' indeed has more street cred than these Hollywood music media types and publishers...Maybe this person can be my successor someday if I ever retire from covering the live music beat.

Curiously, though, the critique does beg the question...How did this person discern that it was almost as bad as getting AIDS from a homeless man? I take it this individual must have experience in such matters to be able to compare the two.

You can't please everyone, I guess...

While I admit that lounge jazz like this isn't really my cup of tea, I hear nothing wrong with this track at all. Sounds good to me. I don't know why anyone who likes slow jazz would dislike this song. That message is just some jackass bitching because he/she can. Like JP said, you can't please everyone. I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep making the music you love!

... you can't please everyone.

.....like you please yourself!!

Didn't listen to the link. Don't need to. You play a lot. Constructive criticism is good. Destructive criticism is to be ignored.

Well, I am going to put together a Benefit to buy Zupe a New Hair Rug. Who wants to sign on to perform for this great cause for the follicley challenged Zupe? Since this video was almost two years ago, I figure he must have lost quite a few more strands of hair in the meantime and we need to help our fellow musician in any way possible.



Where in the world did this person think you wear a wig from watching that video?

Nice vid, I dig the chord progression.

Youtube comments are the bottom of the Internet barrel.

I look at it like this:
When you read reviews, they fall into one of three categories:

5 stars: They loved it, don't really need any more info.

2 - 4 stars: probably some valid criticism. Worth reading to see if there is a problem 'trend' or to find out what people don't like.

1 star or less: often filled with spelling/grammatical errors and over-the-top insults. Gives the impression that the reveiwer didn't understand how to use the product/service in question in the first place.

I'm sure you've already filed this one appropriately.

I can vouch for Zupe's hair, for I, many eons ago, was Zupes hairstylist before I stopped doing hair at Oz International.

I always thought this song/video was cool. Even though I am biased, that is Chelsea from EVK in their at about 3:00..

As always keep up the good work. The beauty of America is that we allow idiots to live..

Zupe YOU ROCK!

There are a bunch of disgruntled jealous children around here who can't stand anyone with real talent. But you are a class act and turned it into a great comedic tale!!

Keep on keepin' on honey!!!!
