The Longest Comment Thread in the History of This Blog? Go Ahead, Guess.

Over the course of the past two years, for the benefit of some 3.8 million visitors, we have blogged on many subjects — the 2008 presidential election, war, peace, economics, race relations, culture, etc. Never, however, has any post generated as many comments as my April 24 post about the talent-deficient vocalist, Champagne Dream, of whom I wrote:

Certainly I’m not alone in guessing that somebody at Blaze Records got the hots for a 19-year-old stripper and said, “Yeah, baby, I’ll make you a star . . .”

That post is now at 128 comments. It seems to have got rolling at 2:36 a.m. Friday, with Sandy’s comment (#28) and then on Saturday morning, blues musician Jeff Todd jumped in to say that the proprietor of Blaze Records was a sleazeball. (Which makes him different from every other record company executive . . . how?) Then somebody mentioned a singer named Cheyenne West and next thing you know, there’s a catfight in the comments involving none other than Champagne Dream herself, who appears at comment #60. Oh, and somebody posted this photo of Champagne Dream:

For the record, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of what people write in the comments. It may be that the proprietors of Blaze Records are perfectly legitimate and ethical. And it may be that Champagne Dream can sing.

So now I’ve got the blogospheric equivalent of a “Jerry Springer Show” episode in the comments of a two-week-old post that I just put up as a bit of weekend snark. But I guess it goes to show the unpredictable nature of online viral phenomena. Speaking of which, I just remembered an anniversary. Heh.

  5. According to the credits in the videos “Opie” better know as “Richie Cunningham” was running the camera as part of the Video Production team. I mean this “fake label” has an 11 Attorney Legal Department, 2 Federal Judges, and a legion of Law Enforcement officials working around the clock to build a case against those who think the Videos are No budget hilarious No talent ummmm Crap!!! According to Mr. Phony we are illegally having an opinion. I personally look forward to the “NEW RELEASES” from this “label” I hate paying for comedy entertainment. I am not sure what this girl looks like since my retinas shattered from the screeching sounds coming out of her pie hole. Best of luck to Aunt Bee on her World Tour of someplace in Ohio no one has ever heard of….. I am sure the Buckeye trees will beg for mercy upon hearing the sounds from the speakers.

  7. Blaze Records/Tony/Champagne,
    Whatever happened to the video of Marc Wasmund and Champagne on your site? Awwwwww. Poor “fake label Blaze Records” had to take it down because Marc made you take it down. Perhaps, he couldn’t stand the “wailing cat” sounds coming from Champagne Dream. I don’t blame him.
    Champagne – child you need to get away from that man. He won’t be able to do anything for you except embarrass, humiliate, and make you the laughing stock of America. Wait! He’s already don that.
    Well, I guess his mission is accomplished-you are through. Finished!
    Next girl please! Hey you in line there, want to be a superstar? I can put you in Blaze Records “Build A Star Program” and the lessons start in my bedroom. LOL

  9. Sounds to me like Tupelo is jealous of other peoples good fortune. FYI Tupelo the label in question has had the same address for 7 years. Yep I called the Post Office in Rogers, Ohio and that address has been registered to the same company for 7 years. Also checked out your claim about making a former fiancé a star and guess what, he took that girl from a karaoke singer to a national artist in 4 months time. I’m in the music industry and I’d say that’a pretty good for any indie to be able to do that. Your wrong on that claim too. As far as making fun of a persons looks, well that shows everybody in this blog that perhaps you are one of those people that think you are perfect. We all know that nobody in this world is perfect. Maybe you need to go back to school and learn the golden rule that is taught at a second grade level. Did I mention, I checked out the info that you are spreading about mansions and Nashville and here is my find on that. You are totally full of s***. The owner of the label has never made any claims to have mansions anywhere and yes they do have an OFFICE in Nashville and have openly told people that there is not a studio there at the Nashville location. As far as who is sleeping with who, this is really none of anybody’s concern and has no bearing on any of this since there are no minors working at the label in question. In short you are merely some jealous F*** that never made it in the music biz and is dissing on a great label because of your own failures in life. Sounds to me like you are trying your best to start a vigilante group and we all know that is highly illegal. Maybe you should do as many have done and simply check out your own stories about this since they are the ones coming up false.

  11. One more point to shoot down your lies Tupelo. The video that you are saying was removed with the singer in question and a guy named Marc is still up on her site. Guess that proves you are lying about that also. Wow you are just batting 1000!

  13. Get a life Tupelo stop being so jealous of people and stop trying to make people think that you are something you are not. You have more than proven that you are a jealous person with no life.

  15. Ron/Tony you are full of shit. You truly must go back the very first thread on this site that he has four mansions and where they were located. So you are misinformed and still trying to take the focus from fake Blaze Records and his inability to produce high quality videos and “sign talented artists” instead of “wailing cats”.
    Jealous of Blaze Records! A fake, a phony, a liar! Sorry, can’t accomodate your claim of my jealousy. LOL What’s the matter Tony? Making all that money and can’t get your teeth fixed? Cleaning those mansions taking up your time?
    Blaze Records sucks. Blaze Records has no studio, no office in Nashville. Blaze Records has no mansions.
    Vigilante? LOL Its called opinions idiot. Oh! I guess Mr. McCain is a vigilante simply because he thinks you and your “work” sucks too. Get used to it Blaze Records. You are nothing and will never be anything. Keep posting those horrid videos and you will continue to be blasted.
    Your PO box in Rogers is used to hide from people what you really do.
    That girl he took in the first time, is no national artist. Never even heard of her in Wisconsin until she came on this site spouting filthy words. She didn’t do anything to help herself in that battle.
    Oh! And I’m not trying to make it in the music business. But you are and Champagne Dream is trying but you won’t go nowhere.
    Give it up idiot and admit that you can’t take anyone anywhere. The focus of this thread is that Blase Records is a fake, his “artists” can’t sing and he has a studio in his bedroom. How convenient.

    Case in point: One of Tony Calabrese’s posts on first thread: You remember don’t you Blaze “FAKE” Records:

    Tupelo, you don’t know what you are talking about. I have worked for Warner Brothers and I know talent. Just so you know, I signed Britny Spears to her first contract and now I am going to do the same for Champagne Dream. I am doing pretty well because of my knack for finding talent. I have 4 houses, one in Rogers, Ohio, one in Nashville, one in Leesville, and a huge mansion in Oregon. My legal team has been pouring through this blog and is identifying each and every one of you so you can be brought to justice. There’s a $150,000 fine for online harassment and that’s for each count. They tell me that we are up to about $3.5 Million at this point. Keep them coming.

    Have at it idiot. I’m sure Mr. McCain can vouch this was on that first thread. After all, he read all of them based on what he wrote on this other thread here on this site:

  17. Sorry to say Tupelo but it was already proven that Tony Calabrese did not post that. In fact he has not posted to this garbage blog whatsoever. It was also proven that it was you posting that stuff using his and his companies name. Therefore, once again you have lied throughout this entire thread and anybody that reads it has noticed the same. Back to the facts. A. You are extremely jealous of a true artist. B. You have no life. C. Contrary to what you say and post here Blaze Records USA is and will continue to be a growing independent record label. D. The artist in question is already making quite a stand in the music industry and involved with several music projects. Might I add the fact that she is currently working on a project with a NATIONAL pop artist. Yes, that is something that you have longed your entire life to do but never did. E. Keep eating and keep getting fatter!

  19. glad to see tupelo still ain’t got no life. stop diss’n on people and go get a life

  20. Blaze Records makes horrid videos and his “Artists” can’t sing or dance. Nothing has been proven that Tony C/Blaze Records did not post anything. I certainly have no reason to post it. Tony Show us a video that you’ve done for or with anyone with any talent. You are a fake and a liar. If you are so interested in proving you didn’t post or do something, prove to us and post what you can do. Show us some more of your crappy stuff you call videos and wailing cats singing. You go get a life and a job and do something you’re good at like um…a real job. LOL

  22. Glad to see Nelly/Tony come back. Don’t worry people! Blaze Records/Tony Calabrese is here, just not under his name. The “Fake Label Guy” is good at posing as fake sites, making crap for videos, and finding talent that sounds like wailing cats.

  26. Blaze Records is not a legit label. Blaze Records is a pretend studio in a bedroom in dinky little house in East Liverpool, Ohio who thinks he’s a major producer. Check out his videos on You Tube.
    Can anyone even imagine that this man who says he’s a professional, would post crap like that? And even sent a cd to a radio station! Read it for yourself:

    Fifth and seventh posts down. Are you going to sue them too? LOL
    Thank you Mr McCain for posting this video so that Blaze Records could be exposed to the world for the phony that he is.

  32. Oh Nelly/Tony Ha ha ha! I don’t have to try and destroy Blaze Records. You’re doing it all by your little lonesome by posting those horrid videos and having people like Champagne Dream sing to the vocals and screech like a wailing cat. Keep posting Blaze. We’re having fun.

  34. Nelly/Tony Don’t kill the messenger honey.I’m just proving that more than myself think you’re terrible about posting that girl on the internet to be made fun of…
    Its not our fault that you are a fake label and don’t know or have talent.
    BTW Calabrese Where did the Tik Tok Video go? Did you finally get in your head it stunk, or did Kesha contact you?
    Good job No Comment. Maybe he took it down since you told him you would contact Kesha. Champagne Dream did an awful rendition of that song.
    No matter how many number one songs CD sings, it won’t change the fact that she can’t sing.

    I know how you know this. You’re Tony/Ron. Let’s play hide and seek with Blaze Records/Tony Calabrese. He just gave himself away. The dumb shit.
