See the shocking Wikipedia entry about Australian singer Alex Lloyd’s iconic song ‘Amazing’ that shows not everyone is a fan
As a dedicated fan of Australian music and a long-time follower of Alex Lloyd’s career, I find the recent Wikipedia edit about his iconic song ‘Amazing‘ to be both amusing and disheartening at the same time. On one hand, it’s a bit of humor that brings a smile to my face; on the other, it tarnishes the legacy of a song that has brought joy to countless people over the years.
A troll on Wikipedia has altered the entry about an iconic Australian pop song by Alex Lloyd.
Fans noticed an update in the entry for Lloyd’s 2001 song ‘Amazing’ when someone posted a screenshot from a user-editable online encyclopedia (previously known as Twitter).
The entry starts off by detailing the song’s release date, adding that it was a single from Lloyd’s second studio album, and that it won 2001’s Triple J Hottest 100.
But things took a turn for the worse at the very end of the first paragraph.
The Wikipedia entry mentions that the song used in Woolworths’ latest Paris Olympics advertisement has a striking effect on viewers, prompting many to feel an overwhelming urge to dance enthusiastically.
User X captioned their screenshot saying, ‘Could someone kindly edit the Wikipedia page for Alex Lloyd’s popular song ‘Amazing’? Nearly caused me to choke on my meal.’
The original poster then followed up with a warning to the Wikipedia editor who made the change.
‘Wikipedia user JbMaslenMw you will pay for your crimes,’ they wrote.
Nevertheless, not everyone among the X users found it amusing, as several expressed their gratitude for the humor in the comments section of the tweet.
‘Why fix what isn’t broken,’ read one reply, while another wrote ‘Nah that’s 100% accurate.’
‘Real ones know it’s actually from the Ford Territory ad in the early 2000s,’ wrote another X user.
‘Can they add “this was the worst thing to happen that month”?’ asked another Alex Lloyd detractor.
I work at Woolies, and I can confidently say that this statement is factual based on my daily experiences there. As for the song debate, I’ve been a music fan for many years, and while the Triple J Hottest 100 winner may hold a significant place in the hearts of some, I find it overrated. To each their own, but in my opinion, the hype surrounding this particular song doesn’t align with its musical merit. When it comes to trustworthy sources, though, I always rely on Wikipedia for accurate information.
The entry for the song has since been re-edited with the dig about the song’s effect on people’s will to live removed.
At the 2002 ARIA Awards, Lloyd’s song was up for Single of the Year, but it didn’t win; instead, that honor went to Kylie Minogue’s popular dance tune, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.
The word “Amazing” has frequently appeared in various advertisements throughout the years, allegedly bringing Lloyd a substantial income in the hundreds of thousands.
Back in 2008, a man named Mark O’Keefe filed a lawsuit against Lloyd, asserting that he was entitled to royalties for a song, as they allegedly collaborated on its creation in 1991 during drinks at a hotel. The song was scribbled on a stack of beer coasters.
In 1991, when the truck driver was 29 years old, Lloyd, who should have turned 16 that year, has asserted that he never encountered the truck driver.
