Talk:Missy Higgins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am an Australian and I have a comment to make:
--
Upon receiving the award at the podium, she appeared visibly nervous, and stated: "I really wish I was pissed [intoxicated] right now." Despite this misdemeanour, she has been embraced by the Australian public
--
I disagree with the text saying: "despite this misdemeanour".
I don't think it correctly reflects Australian culture.
We are easy going, and love a drink, and I doubt _any_ Australian would have taken offence at her comment wishing she was pissed.
(Well, maybe the Salvation Army (the Salvo's) who believe in strict abstinance. But, they do not reflect mainstream attitudes to drink, thankfully.).
Typical bad entry on Wiki:
"Her music has polarised Australians. ... Although Missy Higgins has many admirers; many people such as music critic Daniel Forde, has said her music is bland and underproduced."
How can something supposedly bland have 'polarized' a nation? Who is Daniel Forde and why does his OPINION merit a mention in an encyclopedia? He lists Electric Six as one of his favourite bands - of course he would think Missy Higgins is bland. I thought Wikipedia was about facts rather than opinions.
Maybe the Catholic Church as well ;) anyway i agree
[edit] Gotta love missy!!!
I've just gotta say that missy has brought out the real australia to everyone who has been caught up in the whole 'hollywood' thing. Way to go!!!!
She's hawt. Is that encyclopedic?
- It's a tacit understanding. I think the pic suffices.
[edit] Intro
I love Missy to pieces but this intro is WAY too long. It needs to be about a quarter that size. If there's any info in there you desperately want saved, speak up or it will probably get the cut. Satchfan 12:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
