9 Reasons to Despise Neil Diamond – if you don’t already
1. bigest, bushiest, salt -and -peppery sideburns of all time. that goes without saying.
2. he contaminates 4th of July (which is almost my favorite holiday. almost).
I cannot celebrate this day without someone cranking their boom box with “Comin to America” during the sky show. (in which case, i take bigger issue with whomever coordinates the sky show to begin with.)
3. as a young lad, he sang in the choir with the female version of himself, barbara striesand.
4. he’s a pervert. Not only did he sign with Bang Records, but he made a song that contains the words, “girl, you’ll be a woman soon… and soon i’ll be your man.” well gee neil, lets try and wait for the poor girl to stop running from the boys because they have “cooties” before attempting anything that could get you 3-5.
5. gravely voice. beaty eyes.
6. songs like “cracklin’ rosie,” really? cracklin oat-bran? cracklin fire? … or perhaps you meant to say cracklin whip? cus you’re a pervert?
7. as you can see, his breeds abnormal fans.
8. clearly, he has an anger management problem – possibly suffers from permanent insanity or syphilis
9. he is a constant embarrassment to society, and a mockery is to be made of him. only then, might he stop.
Really? And here I was under the impression that you were his second biggest fan (after the guy in the pic for #7). I’m shocked.
HILARIOUS…I have to admit to being an american idol watcher and when they did neil diamond week it sucked really really bad. He sang after and yep he sucked too! Very funny post…:)N
About the sideburns. I must beg to differ.
Everyone knows that former Monkee and MTV creator Mike Nesmith has the biggest grayest sideburns this side of Elvis.
Fellow WP blogger has issues as well with singers gone bad.
You can find her thread here.
Mike Nesmith Genius
yes, brandon, i’m sure by now you’re growing tiresome of my rants about neil.. i can’t help it, my fingers have a gravitational pull to type nasty things about him
i too, must admit to being an avid AI watcher. i did however, protest neil diamond night. i mean, what are they thinking trying to make people sing that crap.
Believe me, your issues far outweigh any you have imagined Neil Diamond might have, bigot, conceited, narcissistic, loud mouthed, thick, childish, uneducated W****R…..leave Neil alone.
It’s a pleasure to have you here with us tonight, Mr. Diamond.
LOTGK. yes, perhaps he has some competition out there, but uh, considering he has so many other issues, i just like to give him the added bonus of having the most ridiculous sideburns
I cannot argue with that logic.
Hey Brit…FYI…Paul is back! :)N
She knows, Nikki, she told me to get in my cave, with Neil. I have to agree with, Brit? Especially about the female version of himself. They both suck, big time.. But I kind of liked, Sweet Caroline.
Paul, come on sweet caroline- bah bah bah…. no. no.
Thank you for these. All this needed to be said. The only one worse than Neil Diamond is Michael Bolton.
And Zanfir and his magical flute…..
haha, skip – thank you. and yes, michael is pretty bad.
You all have no taste at all. He’s brilliant and fills concerts to capacity. You’re all jealous snots.
hahaha. i’m jealous alright. what’s not to envy?
I think you are a total nonce, to compile a list of negativity about someone else belongs in a playground, grow up man….Neil Diamond is a hugely successful entertainer, with millions of fans worldwide, I don’t think he’ll be losing any sleep over your opinions.

I always knew I hated him. NOW, I know why.
carl.. doesn’t it feel a bit liberating ?

He doesn’t really sing! He talks his songs. I find that highly ANNOYING. His voice just f*cking annoys me. I hate Neil Diamond!!!!!
Admitting that you’re a Neil Diamond fan is like leaving the door open when you take a pee.
I just really hate neil diamond. I typed in sweet caroline, and then typed I hate Neil Diamond into google and this came up. I’m now inlove with the daily elephant.
He just really sucks
I guess being a nob comes naturally to you then doesn’t it, when you achieve a fraction of what Neil Diamond has achieved, then you might be afforded an opinion, and why do you go around hating people, why do you hate Neil Diamond, what has he done to you.
Losers – time to stop jerking off to the internet, take a shower, be a man and leave your mother’s basement – As if you know how to treat a woman right – take her out dancing to a Neil Diamond concert…oh right – what womnan would want to go out with a loser like the ones on this negative blog – just stick with your plastic love dolls – least they cant walk out on you
Ha Ha Ha – Sold out concerts all over North America, Europe and Australia. I guess no one really cares what the four of you think . Like I said stop wakking off to your love doll and try to be a real man like Neil – Millions of fans agree with me – lol !!!
How old are the people who actually like Neil Diamond?? I guess there’s no accounting for taste. I personally think if he were to try starting a career today he would not go anywhere. His lyrics & music style scream cheeseball. Just because you can hold a tune does not mean you should sing.
The man is immensely talented, singer/songwriter and legendary live performer, a man who still sells out arenas to this day, I would be interested to learn who you regard as having talent, he is in his fifth decade of his hugely successful career, that says all you need to know.
Talented? Lol Maybe for the 80 year olds and older crowd.
You are an absolute moron, nuff said.
I am 75 and I think he is great. Oh by the way I am Jewish. I don’t know people just like to knock we Jewish people. I don’t know him personally but it seems when who-ever becomes wealthy people want to knock. I loved the Jass Singer
Also.
I’m 16 and love Neil Diamond, he is by far my favourite. I have never understood all this hate for him? ‘gravely voice. beaty eyes.’ I mean what’s wrong with that? I have to say though, number 8 made me laugh with the picture and all
Rudest asshole I have ever worked
for, a real dick!!!! He has never rocked.
And when did you work for him, doing what exactly, I have met Neil Diamond, and he was gracious and charming, so I don’t believe what you say, unless you messed something up.
you are obviously void of any musical taste, Neil Diamond has written some of the most memorable songs ever, he is regarded as one of the finest songwriters of all time, and won many accolades, I am a fan of Neil, and I don’t consider myself abnormal in any way, you must have issues to compile that load of tripe, I must question your motives, these nine things to hate about Neil Diamond, is childish in the extreme, I cannot believe a grown man would compile this garbage, you obviously envy his immense popularity, as why else would you post such an unjust and spiteful article.
He shared these things because many people in the world feel the same as he does about Neil Diamond’s music. You think just because “you” like someone’s music, everyone else does? Lol. Millions of people cannot stand Neil Diamond’s music. Millions of people are not wrong.
I couldn’t give a fig whether you like Neil Diamond’s music or not, it is how you support this childish character assassination of him, there are many artists I don’t particularly like, where many are overrated, but I don’t post demeaning comments on social media, which in the case of what has been posted on here could be deemed libellous, I don’t think Mr Diamond is losing any sleep, and is probably not aware of this garbage, but as a fan, I feel I have to defend this abominable attack on him.
Listen, I don’t like Neil Diamond’s music, never have, and never will. It means that I don’t like his music. If that gets your panties in a bunch, tough shit.
Right!
Was ok til he got all Vegasy….
As a twelve-year old I sent him a letter asking for the music to Hello Again. I never got a response. My father died just after. I wanted to be able to play it for him.
You could have accessed the music on the Internet, and downloaded it, what you fail to understand is that original music is copyrighted and cannot be used without license or other permissions, I don’t think Neil Diamond was being ignorant or disrespectful, he was merely protecting his work from misuse. This whole thread is nonsense, it appears a childish basement dweller has no life so attacks those infinitely more successful than him, ask yourself, what does it say about someone who compiles such a list, have a good day.
I’m surprised the pervert didn’t deliver the music in person, to a little girl.
My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
These reasons are personal opinions and very unsubstantiated. One opinion is not a fact.
