    Scarabin,
    My only gripe with the guy is the fact that everyone calls him talented, and that his live shows are amazing. Amazing to me, isn't when someone twitches knobs of prerecorded material synced to a perfect beat at a live show. Amazingly talented is doing this live without utilizing prerecorded material, with higher risk of a fuckup or DJ's who use prerecorded material to create something new during a show.. I guess this is where my definitions are different than yours.

    For example, I think Daft Punk is way more talented and risk-taking than this kid, and they won only 1 Grammy, while this kid one 3 in one year.

    Is this kid really that talented that you have to go and say something like, "they can't handle someone younger than them or outside their subcultural comfort zone being more talented"?
