DJ Tiesto is the best DJ in the world

I agree with the definitions, with DJ being "an individual who plays recorded music on the radio or at social events. " <><><><> Arguments: <><><><> 1. Awards To be considered as the best at something, you have to be excellent at something. A synonym of excellence is merit, defined by dictionary. com as "claim to respect and praise; excellence; worth. " An award (n), defined by dictionary. com, is "something awarded or granted, as for merit. " By having numerous awards, DJ Tiesto has shown that he has the most merit, which in turn shows that he is excellent at being a DJ. Because he is excellent as a DJ, according to our definition, he is the best. DJ Tiesto is the first ever DJ to win DJ Magazine's "#1 DJ in the world for 3 consecutive years. " (1) DJ Tiesto has won awards in Holland, Belgium, Ibiza, Miami, Germany, Canada, as well as the MTV Europe Music Awards, Beatport Music, Edison Music, World Music, Zilveren Harp Music, Radio 538, as well as many others. (1) "TMF Award Holland Best National DJ" was won in multiple years by DJ Tiesto, along with the others I mentioned in the first round according to my first source that round. To say that they are inaccurate is unfounded. "Almost half (48) do not refer to DJing" DJing has many aspects to it, including mixing, producing, being an artist, as well as many other things. (2) "We must also take note that the resolution suggests Tiesto IS the best, not that he has been voted the best by some individuals in the past. " I stated that DJ Tiesto is the best DJ in the world, not the best, so we are proving that he is the best based on music related categories. To determine who the best based on music related categories is, people have to vote, similar to many other ‘best' categories. Awards are based on who has received the most votes, therefore they are completely relevant. "We should therefore also disregard all awards for achievement in previous years as these do not reflect our subject's current status. " Not necessarily. Michael Jordan is considered as the best basketball player in the world, yet he has already retired. (3) John Wooden is the best coach in college basketball, and he is 98 and retired. (4) Why are they considered the best, when in their current status they are not? To determine who the best at something is, you must look at their previous accomplishments, in this case, awards. "Lastly if we were to regard the people who select such awards as having ultimate authority on who is the best DJ" To be considered the best at something, you must look at all of their accomplishments, not just one. DJ Tiesto was #1 from 2002-2004 in the same magazine, so according to your philosophy he is the best. <><><><> 2. Opinion If a majority of opinion says that DJ Tiesto is the best, then that would be a statement of fact that he is the best. "does not make someone the best" Then what does make someone the best DJ according to you? <><><><> 3. Skills I have shown that he has won multiple awards in every category of being a DJ, thus he is a master of all of them. My opponent admits that he is a master in some categories. "some evidence for Tiesto having a deep knowledge of music beyond the Trance/hard house" "Lovestoned" remix of Justin Timberlake's song is highly acclaimed. (see video) Justin Timberlake's music is not in the Trance/hard house genre. <><><><> 1. . http://www.answers.com... 2. . http://en.wikipedia.org... 3. . http://www.nba.com... 4. . http://www.examiner.com... . http://www.youtube.com...
