I was using sarcasm to call him stupid for thinking that rebecca mayes, a person who can actually play real instruments, is somehow less talented than say... the entire top thirty of virtually any given music chart.JEBWrench said:
I didn't care for it. I didn't like the music, the rhytm and especially not the vocals. I reckon Rebecca Mayes is a little less talented than everyone else here seems to think.
And making a song about Yahtzee is just a cheap way to earn bonus points, in my book.
Numerical score: 4/10.

I was hoping it would be an 8 minute E3 bashing video. Instead I got to hear some insipid bull. I listened to a few of her songs a while ago and didn't like a single one. I only come to this site for ZP and Unskippable. I should have known it'd show up in one of his videos after she begged for lyrics at the end of one of the previous videos, sadly I didn't take it as the warning I should have.
I actually liked it, all of Mayes' other muses have been "meh" in my eyes, but this one was kinda catchy, so I liked it.
I didn't like it much. I sat through half of it, and left. I was really excited that there was an extra to the video, but then I lost that when I saw that it was a cheap way to get more awareness for her video.
It's not that I have a problem with her, I just don't enjoy her music much. I've given it a few different tries though. And now trying to sneak it up on me like that kinda offends me in a way. It's like they were trying to force it on me, but obviously, that can't be done with that kind of thing.

I'm surprised at the higher level of civility on this thread as opposed to the comments for the ZP itself... although I supposed I shouldn't be. Yahtzee does seem to attract more than his fair share of the Batshit-fucking-LOCO crowd.
OT, I liked it, but then I like the electro-chick-music thing, so I'm predisposed to liking it. I know that there is a lot of fans of extreme music on this site, and I bet they really didn't care for it.
I'm always kind of shocked at the people who seem to equate 'I don't like it' with '...so the artist doesn't have any musical talent'. I honestly just try to limit my reponse to "it's just not my thing" when I'm in that situation, unless it's pretty clear that the person is completely lacking in musical skills. RMM, love her or hate her, can objectively be said to sing well, and to play multiple musical instruments with some skill, so you can't say she's devoid of talent, even if you don't like what she creates using that talent.
EDIT:
Also, it appears to be necessary to point this out: if you don't think the staff of the Escapist was behind this, then you're just being silly. It's their job to promote the stuff that they pay people to produce for them, and one of the best ways is to leverage a high-drawing feature (like ZP) to get people to view stuff they might otherwise not check out. Why do I say this? The Escapist is a business. They own the content shown here, not the artists. (Think of it as TV Shows, not like music CDs.) They know exactly what is going on with the content they're posting.
So stop with the 'Mayes is just riding Yahtzee's popularity' comments. That just isn't likely to be the case, really.

So, I'm confused. Has there been some internet equivalent of a Yahtzee/Mayes Cold War that I've been blissfully unaware of until now?
It reminded me of Evanescence, mostly because I hate Evanescence. Horribly written, has a very generic catchy sound, and her singing, while not technically bad, is simply dull. Basically, your average female singer singing a generic song that happens to be about Yahtzee.
I liked it. I found it witty. Although it's not my preferred music style, I occasionally listen to Rebecca's Muses.
On a side note, Rebecca, if you're reading these, remember that the internet allows for people to be very boorish and savage, and extremely offensive. And I don't pretend to know you, but I would hope that, if you read posts like some of these, you'll calmly take the harsher/non- constructive criticisms and disregard them. They can only hurt, and are at best personal opinions lacking in tact.
