most of us are just old, jaded and cynical. it's obvious we are sad, pathetic old sots who are desperate in our attempts to bring others down with our wretched attitudes and views about the stones. i can't believe you had to ask.

The is the STONES' 50th anniversary - not yours! Let them do what they want and STFU.
You're right, Mick should have asked who you like before picking a duet partner. Millions and millions of people around the world love Lady Gaga but you don't and clearly your enjoyment is the key factor here. Mick should write an apology letter to you!Quote

Except they need OUR money to make sure the party actually takes place. If they decided to rehearse with Gaga in some Bronx basement to see what comes out of it fine.
But this is a public show (double public as it's a PPV) and it's quite embarrassing. Jagger wants to duet with a US female artist? How about Lucinda Williams on "Wild Horses"?

Embarrassing for who?? You?? So what? Who cares about you? Mick wants to sing with GaGa, so he asked her. He's not embarrassed, so why should you be. She's a relevant artist in today's music industry. Get over it.
Why isn't Lucinda Williams embarrassing for others, but not you? I think you need to get a grip.

Beck, Clapton, Blige, Clark, Florence, GaGa, Springsteen, Black Keys.... these are all mega selling artists (like it or not) in their own right. They have all jumped at the chance at playing with the Stones - who wouldn't?? I'm sure if Mick asked some of you lot with crappy bar bands out there, pretending you're Keith on a Friday night to try and give yourselves the credence to call yourself a 'musician', to play, you'd jump at the chance too...
Like it or not, these artists have fans who might not be that into the Stones and it offers a chance to gain a few more fans along the way. Plus, it's only for a couple of songs. Stop getting your knickers in a twist about everything that YOU don't like. The is the STONES' 50th anniversary - not yours! Let them do what they want and STFU.
And if it doesn't live up to your incredibly high expectations, or they aren't as good as when you saw them for the 38th time back in 1973, then tough SH!T. Time to follow a different band.

I remember when it was announced that Mick would be performing on SNL with Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters and some people here, who can't or refuse to think outside the box, were already shitting on the performance without even seeing it first. And guess what, it turned out to be great. And I'm sure these new collaborations will be great, too.

I guess this is the best way to turn away a lot of the great fans the Stones have had during the years.
Well now we're respected in society, don't need to worry about how things used to be!
Looks like Vegas is closing in!
I'm not asking for applause. Just an open mind. A "wait and see" strategy. Or something. I'm just trying to be positive hereQuote

it's not okay to diss a performance before it's happened, but it is okay to applaud it before it's happened? just trying to understand the rules.

And I'm sure you'll be there because you just can't stop seeing them.
Plus, the Stones have been respected in society for 25 years now, so no need to quote pointless lyrics out to anyone.

Christina Aguilera received the same negative reaction when it was announced that she would be a guest & she proceeded to knock it out of the park on Live With Me.
