o_O There are people in Zimbabwe who listen to English music? My Gods... that's... unusual. But, it's probably because most of the artists are racists or are scared of Africa.

I spend as much time in the US as I do abroad. In Europe, Asia and Arabia. The disprespect that is now heaped upon anything American is just unbelievable. In these forums I read notes from people who have never left their environs, harping on and trying to justify the unjustifiable. It leaves me very sad, because natural friends of America are now openly disrespecting a once great Nation. Why? Because of the Fundamentalist we have in the White House. In Britain, the politicians and populous have acted and asked Blair to go, because he has brought shame to the country in his support for Bush. It is unbelieveable how much he is now ignored by his own European partners who once glorified him.

Because the English/British Press usually start it off before even the first 'fan' has bought their tickets\n\nAnd because the media/press like to believe their own stories, the international press usually jump on the back on the british/english media/press's 'hooligan' bandwaggon

In my country there is a phenomenon called "manele"...very f-cked up music...with lyrics like: "I want to share my life with you...you with me and me with you"...\n   The singers have like hundreds of albums with songs that have the same melodic line...sometimes the same lyrics only more messed up like the ones before..you should here the live...\n   It's awful how music of this kind...is more and more hammered into our head by the idiots that had school only a place to come home from...\n   WE! THE ROCKERS FROM ROMANIA [OK...this sounds awkward...never mind] can't stand this and are opposing...at first with signs and rehabilitation campaigns...but none seem to respond or just a few try to listen another genre of music...and give up these "manele"\n\nI'm mentioning that I'm from Romania...

Probably because they are either natural citizens of the country, or they have immigrated to the U.S. Now they live in that area and are getting married!! Bridal parties usually have a photo session. What is so strange about the fact that it is happening in Prospect park in Brooklyn. Beautiful, attractive park!! If you saw so many, I hope you took the time to wish them well.

Regarding The Beatles and Zep, both became HUGE, way beyond big, way before merchandising, marketing and publicity became standard practice in the music industry. The Beatles and Zep were 'grass roots' as we call it today. That means in the early days, they put out a record, toured, put out another record toured, showed up for press, radio, and retail events. All of this in hopes of selling more and more records, with the utmost minimum dollars being put into, marketing, promotion, and merchandising. All success for these two and bands like them came from blood sweat and tears - hard work. Recognition was the end result. Today, most record companies looks for a band thats like ANOTHER band. No more individuality or sounding different, or even being unique. My point being that the record companies will spend millions on press, publicity, and marketing in hopes you will see it everywhere, hear it everywhere, and want to buy it. The harsh and unfortunate reality is 'cash rules everything around us'. MTV is pay for play. Radio is the same. You need to have sold LOTS of records, or show significant sales increases daily, to even get airplay on major radio or mtv. So to sum it up, it's all marketing and promotion. - not so much the band (remember Paula Abdul? She can not sing). Let me know if I can help further.

probably because doesnt originate from US. Strange really because it is HUGE all over the world and with the population in the states meaning there is a massive pool of potential stars, a bit more interest and they could be real world beaters.

If you are referring to celeb in US and UK or Europe, well most of these countries are developed, and although poverty and lack exists everywhere, third world countries have more of it and people do not have the right mentality to combat it or the right environment to be able to change their current situations\n\nplus they get more publicity that way too............

They are re-recorded in English so that the songs can reach a bigger audience.  Think about it would you go and buy a cd ina language that you don't understand.  Buy doing this more people understand the music and can appreciate it more.  It's all just to make more money really.\n\nGuys also please remember that the world does not just consist of America, there are other countries too that speak english as their main language or even second.

I am not from the Middle East, but I can say that there has been fighting oging on there for decades!!!  The only reason that we hear more of it now is because in between reports of Janet Jacksons boob flash and how much weight Kirstie Alley lost, the media has to report on something.  There is violence going on like that of the middle east in other places too.  Take a look of the continent of Africa, it's one messed up place to be living too!!!  It's just that the Media hasn't found a focus their to report on yet!

oh !john c. America doesn't have any interest there. What products does the eastern part of africa export to the usa? can't think of anything ? and that is why america won't do anything. if we were a country that was focused on humanity then yes we would be over there in a new york minute.It makes me so mad! because there are millions of people dying there! it also has a lot to do with race wheteher we want to admit it or not.Throwing a million dollars to them means nothing if a evil dictator gets it!

The Artic Monkeys gained popularity through their website. They achieved a high position in the charts before having any airplay at all. I guess the brits like them cos their songs are catchy or something. Im not too mad on em and im irish :D

most black people of the 20th century were born and raised in the United States and if u haven't seen the news lately, a lot of stuff has been going on in Africa... (diseases, killings, and poverty) just to name a few... \n\nAfrica is the place where we orginal came from...but if u are born and raised in a country... u tend to consider the country u live in as your home and not the place you came from in the past generations...You rememeber the past and where you come from, but ur eyes are looking toward the future...\n\nAmerica seems to have a lot more freedom, especially when u look at the news and see wat is going on in Africa right now...
