I'm fed up of Yoko bashing.

I think she's done some really interesting work in her time and the fact that she was John Lennon's soul mate improves my opinion of her. Unfounded rumors have no sway with me, she was right for John and I have no reason to doubt his judgement.

I don't know her as a person, but  as an artist, I think her so called art is absolute crap.

I think she and John were very self indulged. I think she annoyed the other Beatles. They seem to not have a whole lot of love for her. I think her 'music' is crap. I really don't care know about her art. Seems like a lot of hype. But avant garde is not for everyone I guess. But how can I hate her if I don't know her? If John was happy than she was good for him I guess. I just think the obsession thing was a little strange. I mean, a bed in the studio? It's not only presumptuous, but kind of rude.

Hey! What's a Yoko topic doing under Fifth Beatles??

She was on 'The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill'. Please remember to vote for the nearest option that applies to your belief of her or her work, if you like.

I was just kidding.

hahahaha...i mean really hahhahahaha


nice 1

i honestly, dont like her art, music, or the fact that she pissed off the beatles. the only thing that is redeeming and why i dont completely classify her as a soul-sucking, banshee-screaming whore, is that she did so much to influence john and his music and some of the best stuff he did was with her in mind. *shudder* i just dont understand him sometimes

Quoted from TheMasterOfGoingFaster

She was on 'The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill'.

Thats why that song sucks.

I voted that I hate everything about her and everything she did. If there was something worse up there, i'd have voted for that.

I don't think she's in it enought to actually ruin it is she?! I like the song. Of course she does have that one really annoying part. But it kind of fits in. She sounds like a little kid. It annoys me that she horned her way onto a Beatles record though. I'm sure the others were thrilled. A woman on a Beatle record!?! Unheard of. Not as bad as TLAWR though.

Alrite so that's funny.

I'm tired of Yoko bashing, myself.
I never had anything against that woman.
Her art is funny as hell, I really like a lot of her songs.
And of course John loved her, and that's good enough for me.

I like her imagery, the way she inspired John, I don't think her singing is bad at all.

Sweeping generaliseation: Or are you one of these people that thinks certain art is brilliant because you don't understand what the hell it is you are looking at but don't want to sound intellectually inferior.

Tell me Jr, who are 'these people', names and examples of these people please.

'go read some harry potter site, 'cos you've got no clue'?

what the hells that supposed to mean...just cos he has a different opinion to you doesnt mean he doesnt know enough about the beatles ok?

Just ignore it legend.

great, the man chats crap

When it comes to conclusions we can say that Mrs Lennon sure knows how to get people debating about her. It's no secret that I'm no big fan of her and hers neither. Her art does not appeal to me at all, her singing is seriously painful to my ears. Over the years one could say she made some -friendly said- strange decisions regarding John's legacy. It's not my kind of woman. The whole lost weekend thing and all: it may have been more common in the early seventies, but I can't get rid of the idea that Yoko Ono had John under her spell.
Still, John Lennon was a grown up man when he met her. Responsible and fully aware (well, more of less) of his decisions. He decided to stay with her till the very end. We can endlessly discuss the depth of their love and how they depended on each other, but it's all some kind of speculation. We can discuss that Yoko did no good on the existence of The Beatles, but again, it was John's decision. What can we say?

^ True, fine and wise words.
But I'd like to put a little plug in for idle gossip, speculation and sheer fantasy. Where would we be without them. It's fun, and short of a lawsuit from Yoko, no harm done.

I should have gone with: It is wrong to judge somebody I've never met on rumors...
but actually in her case I cannot help but to  judge someone although I never met her.
That John loved her was good for him and him only.
So it's called art now what she does... yeah, whatever - if she hadn't John to support her...well...nuff said

That John loved her was good for him and him only.

There's a lot of people who doubt even that...

I hear you. But it's still speculation. There's rumours that she had some reputation before she met John. That is her art...

I doubt that as well.

Yes, it is speculation, but you can't deny that John gave it all a real boost and it was to her pertinacity that her art finally and literally arrived at John's door. Even if she had quite a reputation before meeting him, I don't think she would have got the attention of, well, most of the world, as she did because of being a part of John&Yoko.
Where would she be if she didn't met him? Maybe she would have stalked Keith Richards or someone like that - oh what a couple that would have been

That's an interesting question: where would Yoko be if she hadn't met John? In the army, perhaps. Mmm, maybe she could have stalked Ozzy Osbourne instead. But she sure knew who to approach.

Ozzy

Yeah, imagine her on a reality show with Ozzy going f*** all the time and her practise singing (till hell freezes over, which in her case must have been years ago), giggling her weird little-girl-giggle...or.....or..... even mind the kids (!!??!!)

What about this:

Yoko Ono Awarded International Prize

Valladolid, Spain, 12 Jun (Prensa Latina) John Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, was awarded the 2006 International Fine Arts Prize Monday, for her more than 50 years work and contribution to experimental, aesthetic and conceptual language.
Sponsored by the Cristobal Gabarron Foundation, the award consists of an original golden sculpture by the Spanish artist, for whom the recognition has been named.
Arguing its decision, the jury highlighted Ono´s innovative capacity, evidenced in diverse genres and manifestations of the visual arts since the decade of the 50s, and recalled her performances, installations, multimedia and music.
Closely related to vanguard trends since her arrival in New York in 1953, Yoko Ono participated in different projects in defense of peace together with Lennon. She will receive the important recognition in an official ceremony to be held on October 6.

....she still hasn't a name of her own....people (journalists) keep mentioning "...widow of John Lennon"....if that isn't a hint   - only joking...of course she's an artist and deserves every award in the world ...I don't tell you what for though

Quoted from Kate

....she still hasn't a name of her own....people (journalists) keep mentioning "...widow of John Lennon"....if that isn't a hint   - only joking...

No no, don't joke! Because it is very true... Very often it's 'Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow'. I never hear 'John Lennon, Yoko Ono's late husband'.

I think it has nothing to do with age... And it's attacks from both sides. I'm a mod for two weeks now and I getting tired of it already. lol. It feels like home...where my kids (aged 2 and 4) are making trouble all the time...

I just cannot believe anybody can find enjoyment in her singing or art. As Kate mentioned earlier,  and the fact that everybody on this world knows also , is that if she hadnt been with John,,,,,nobody knows who she is. Trust me when I say her talents would not have held up on their own.

And to think that she actually tried to mooch off of Paul first. What a slant eyed c#nt!

John would have been dead in 68' if he didn't get together with Yoko.

On the 18th May 1968 John Lennon got The Beatles together for a meeting at Apple to announce that he was the current incarnation of Jesus Christ.

On the 19th May 1968 John Lennon got together with Yoko Ono for real.

"Fortunately, I met you at the right time."

She had how many art attempts?

Quoted from Bobber

She had how many art attempts?

Way to many.

Hey T, you should start a thread where we can make Yoko art. Whichever is the worst, wins. Shouldn't be tough to do.

I'll do it.

Feel free to join Yoko Ono's Yahoo Group - I started it myself and so far Dirk and me are the only two members!!!

hahahah

I voted for I couldn't give two hoots either way about Yoko, because I don't hate her, since she didn't breakup the Beatles.  I don't like her as a vocalist at all & John could have fell in love with a hot babe.  

Yoko did not sing.  She squealed and shrieked.
