Sharon Osbourne Slams U2
Ever since U2 dumped their surprise album Songs of Innocence onto everyone's iCloud accounts, reactions have ranged from pleased to outraged. Earlier this week Fall Out Boy gave a tutorial on how to delete the album (something we did last week) and now Sharon Osbourne is voicing her opinion on the matter.
The always outspoken Osbourne matriarch is not impressed by U2's move, in case you were wondering. In fact, she felt so strongly about it that she took to Twitter to go on a rant. It started with her saying what many have noted: "U2 you are business moguls not musicians anymore. No wonder you have to give your mediocre music away for free cause no one wants to buy it."
La matriarca Osbourne siempre abierta no está impresionado por la decisión de U2, en caso de que se lo pregunte. ... ella tomó a Twitter para ir a despotricar. Comenzó con ella diciendo lo que muchos han señalado: ". U2 son magnates de los negocios, no músicos ya no es de extrañar que ustedes tengan que regalar su música mediocre que nadie quiere comprarlo."
Her last point, that no one buys U2's music, could be argued with since U2 are one of the few bands who've relatively managed to retain their sales amid the music industry's changing climate. Case in point: their last album in 2009 No Line on the Horizon moved 5 million units. Osbourne's overall rant, however, suggests that she has more of a problem with the invasive delivery method of the album and Bono's political persona.
She also added that "This is an invasion of my private space. My entertainment space…" and tweeted more directly, "Whose political a** are we going to pull you out of today? Or are you front row at another tragic fashion show?…
