Talk:John Tesh

message: Despite over five million albums sold and numerous sold-out concert appearances, Tesh has been the subject of heavy criticism among various listeners.  As with other artists who fall into the jurisdiction of "adult contemporary instrumental" or "smooth" music (such as Kenny G and Yanni) Tesh has been the brunt of considerable outlash from many who consider his music to be "trite" and "cheesy", even if generally "innocuous".
This section needs discussion before adding back in.  Firstly, reference #2 is a blog, invalid reference;  #3 is not a professional review; and regarding reference #4 - the phrase used in that reference is "LUSH, TRITE MELODY", I did not find the word "CHEESY" used, and "which makes the addition of this paragraph completely one-sided POV.  It would be a good section to have, but all views regarding his music, bad AND good, must be included, and not written by twisting the words around from the references used to form a different meaning.

thread_title: Section for discussion

message: I think stating that John Tesh is an alien who is going to call his mothership is unproven.
Perhaps it should be taken out of the article.

thread_title:  Since when is John Tesh an Alien? 

message: Rumors per se have no place in Wikipedia biographies of living persons, particularly a rumor that the vast majority of sane human beings would consider impossible to be true. Unlike some notorious rumors that lead to lawsuits widely covered in the media (like a rumor about the true sexual orientation of a major Hollywood leading man), the rumor that John Tesh is an alien is not even newsworthy. To include it here, and even to elevate its importance by assigning it its own section, is absurd.
The fact that it was reported in a very brief, casual and mostly humorous interview with Tesh in The New York Times does not make it newsworthy. That interview (which is given as the only source for this rumor) treats the rumor as a joke, and jokes about living persons certainly do not belong in articles in Wikipedia or any other serious encyclopedia. I am going to remove the rumor and the section it occupies in this article.--Jim10701 (talk) 17:24, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

text: This rumor isn't important because it fails Wikipedia:Notability. It has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. Also, a consensus appears to have been reached as four editors have removed this section and only one has reverted these edits. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:17, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Tesh is most well known and influential as one of the "talking head" hosts of tabloid-lite show "Entertainment Tonight" with occasional cameos elsewhere.  The article seems to have been influenced by fans or PR operatives of his music and business endeavors who want to portray him as a culturally significant musician.  The article should be edited for neutrality and the music stuff toned down as it is not as significant as his celebrity-world work.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.74.24.30 (talk) 00:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
