My bad about that whole thing with the car ride. Just realized you didn't even say we were jinxed, so there was no reason for someone to go and die right by us.
Anonymous said:People were singing all sorts of things on both sides during the war, but the war is over. There wasn't a single singer back then who didn't record some patriotic anthem, because that's what kept us going. We are long past WWII and the nationalist era, thank God. But why Thompson keeps bringing up those old nationalist slogans? I honestly don't get it. You don't show up to any other local singer's concert wearing nationalist symbols, except his. You don't hear people shouting controversial slogans or those hateful cries... except at his.
Zachary Kelly4 said:Drew Brooks, you're a sweet girl, so please stop obsessing over this. By trying to defend your views on Tony, you ended up insulting Thompson and, eventually, us Americans too (just look at your last few posts). You don't need that. And honestly, debating who's better between them is pointless because they aren't even in the same league. We loved Tony, we still do, but not more than Thompson. Period. And it's not just about the national songs. He didn't have that deep, soulful voice like Tony, but he had something else—something most of our singers just don't have. I can't put my finger on it, but the guy just wins you over.
Blueray;16702463 said:]😁 Of course Revka—that old partisan from Kozara—gets all sentimental hearing stuff this melodic. How does that song go? "Spread the circle, oh spread the circle..." 🤣
😂 Just your run-of-the-mill pop fluff for teenage girls who love screaming at concerts. You call that singing?
Zachary Kelly4 said:This topic is a total minefield, and honestly, I don't get why everyone's getting so worked up over Thompson. I haven't seen anyone actually trashing Tom; it just seems like some people prefer him over others. That whole line about him "taking our money" by feeding us nationalism is just ridiculous. He’s a singer performing his own songs—you can listen or you can skip him. He isn't some IRS agent.
How can you claim nobody around here ever heard of Toset? The guy was a total legend in the States. He picked up awards, won crowds over—he was huge. People who dug that kind of music absolutely loved him, myself included. And honestly, it wasn't even about those little tunes he sang; it was just his vibe. He was one of those rare ones who actually spread good energy everywhere he went, plus he had an incredible voice. Our music scene feels like a tiny, gated community sometimes, but what exactly do you guys have going on in North Mexico? Don't come at us like that.
The only blood that should be on anyone's hands is that of Alexander Karađorđević, whom the Republican Party murdered in France alongside those fascists. You’ve got it all wrong—we aren't out here feeding the kids nothing but nationalism. Look, America is a democracy. In a democracy, everyone gets a say, even if that opinion happens to be nationalist.
I get why you’re treating the late Tom like some kind of saint, really, I do. But I don't get why you're taking it out on us. It's not our fault he's gone. No American fell asleep at the wheel of his car.
Tom R. I. P.
How can you seriously claim that nobody in America ever heard of Tony? The man was a massive star here—awards, recognition, the whole nine yards. People who dig that kind of music absolutely adored him, and honestly, so did I. It wasn't even about those little pop tunes he sang; it was about the guy himself. He was one of the rare ones who actually spread good vibes wherever he went, plus he had an incredible voice. Our entertainment scene is pretty much a closed circle, sure, but what exactly do you guys have going on in North Mexico? Don't come at us like that.
The only blood that should be breathing down your necks is that of Alexander Karađorđević, whom the Republican Party murdered in France alongside those fascists. You’ve got it all wrong—we aren't out here feeding the youth nothing but nationalism. Look, America is a democracy. In a democracy, everyone has the right to their own opinion, and yeah, that includes nationalism.
I totally get why you’ve turned the late Tony into some kind of saint, but I don't get why you have to take it out on us. It’s not our fault he’s gone. No American fell asleep at the wheel of his car.
Tony R. I. p

| Chris Hernandez6 says: So you're sitting there in Mexico acting like an expert on Thompson? How does that work? You been to one of his shows? Met him in person? You even live in the same country where he performs? Explain your logic to me—how exactly is he "feeding" off our nationalism?🙂> |
Jessica Howard2 said:Look, I never said listening to Thompson makes someone a "better" American.
And frankly, I don't care about your personal definition of what being American means. You were asking what it even meant just a few posts ago—which tells me you're clearly just as clueless as the rest of us since you don't actually have a grasp on it ☕ers heart be stone
🙄 Hahaha, isn't our Mexican friend just a ray of sunshine?
The guy sells out arenas all over Europe, North America, and Australia—in numbers Tony could only dream of.
And no, it's not just Americans listening to him; he's got massive fan clubs in places like Poland, for one. ☕☕
Frank Ramirez3 said:Pretty much every American who isn't a hardcore communist loves Thompson, whereas most people didn't even know who Thomas was until he passed away. If you ask me, he's a far superior singer, and his songs are all massive hits. Aside from the legendary Mike Kovac, Thompson is the only one capable of selling out a stadium in America on his own. We Americans, we know what's up!🙂
Jessica Howard2 said:Just because you can't see the artistic value doesn't mean it isn't there.
Look, sure, Thompson doesn't have some massive, earth-shaking voice, but people don't listen to his tracks for vocal gymnastics—they listen for the lyrics and the actual songwriting.
And as for Tosh's beautiful voice? You're right, he's got a great tone, but half his songs are just generic pop garbage. You can tell by his fanbase—it's mostly just teenage girls, right? It's all about that smooth sound and a pretty face to them.😁
Since when did we decide that a singer's quality (aside from opera singers, obviously) is judged solely on their vocal range? Do you seriously think someone like Bob Dylan or Balašević is somehow "lesser" than Proeski? Because, let's be real, their voices are Incomparable to Proeski's in terms of raw power.☕
Jessica Howard2 said:Fair point, there's really no comparison. Putting a Thompson concert next to a Justin Bieber show is like putting an Iron Maiden gig up against a Tony Cetinski performance ☕
But honestly, it feels like you’re just leaning toward the Tony Cetinski side of things, isn't it? Is it because teenage girls scream a bit louder?
Brandon Myers said:Trust me, Thompson has put way more into charity than people give him credit for. A huge chunk of his concerts during the war were actually fundraisers, and he kept that energy going later on with stuff like those Derbi actions to support firefighters. He even did some work recently helping out with student housing over in Herzegovina and things like that. There's just so much he does behind the scenes, it's just that he isn't the type to go around bragging about it. 😛
Charles Jackson5 said:Tosh is a legend. He ignores national boundaries and breaks through every barrier to reach people regardless of their faith or creed. Of course, his shallow music is perfectly suited for those shallow-minded sponges out there.😁
