[edit] External Links

I have deleted the link to Bice's 'official' RCA site since he has changed record labels and that site is no longer being maintained.

I know fansites have been deleted in the past, but I am proposing adding Bonafidebice.com. According to Alexa, this is by far the busiest Bo Bice fansite and it contains a great deal of content not available on any other Bice-related site, including photos, videos, a detailed discography and daily news bulletins. There are no pop-ups and no ads.

How much more is there to say about Bo Bice than what's here now? Wasted Time R 03:25, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This does not appear as an entry on the AID project page and I concur that there's no realistic opportunity for "improvement" until Mr. Bice accomplishes something beyond reality-show celebrity. I've taken the liberty of deleting the template from this page. Dystopos 21:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External links

The External Links section of this article seems to be attracting spam. There are naturally few sites with relavent material about Bice and many sites that are hoping to make a few bucks selling ads or soliciting donations. I'm going to informally adopt the attitude of deleting any new links that are not either (a) obviously valuable or (b) somehow justified by the editor in the edit summary. Dystopos 21:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

You have my full support on this, given that proper time is taken to vette out each link as it is added. Hall Monitor 21:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Well. That was my proposal, not to take the time to follow a bunch of spam links to fan sites with pop-ups and other junk. We've got plenty of links to fan sites already so I'm proposing that we close the door unless an editor can explain why another link is worth having. (Of course you or anyone else is free to investigate and report, or even just to re-add it if you think I've deleted one unfairly) Dystopos 22:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shunned single

"Bice's ranking was based almost completely on sales, as radio stations have shunned the song." - Any citation for this? Dystopos 22:44, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the external reference that immediately follows that sentence. Wasted Time R 00:07, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Ah. yes. sorry. (d'oh!) Dystopos 15:15, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amusing Vandalism

someone listed a 2007 release album titled 'Someone buy this record', sounds like a bit of a joke

[edit] Real name

I found a source that has his birth name as Harold John Bice III. Don't know if it is true or not. Grika Ⓣ 22:21, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Go BO Go!

Bo bice should have won american idol instead of carrie underwood. have you listened to his new song the real thing? its GREAT!!!!! Go BO Go!

[edit] DRM on "The Real Thing"

Does this CD have DRM similar to XCP that completely rapes your computer? Gallwapa 05:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bobice.com is a fraud

Looks like a fansite that beat Sony to the domain name, and now Bice fans are going to think that's the only official site when it's not. So, under external links I separated the legit site from the other ones. User:Arual 16:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TRL? please...

Since when is TRL worthy of listing beside these other charts? I appreciate that it might have been cool that TRL ranked his video number one for one week, but that's not the same as actually selling enough units or getting enough airplay on radio to top a legitimate chart. TRL is not a legitimate chart. MRuss 13:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
