Corey Feldman has not been able to get out of bed after the performance his new song "Go 4 It" on the Today show Friday went viral.

In a since-deleted Facebook Live post, Feldman and one of his "Corey's Angels," Courtney Anne, addressed their critics after making headlines for a curious appearance on the morning talk show.

On the show, the '80s teen heartthrob performed a song from his fifth album Angelic 2 the Core, which he said is a "good versus evil, heaven versus hell"-themed record. The former Stand By Me and The Lost Boys star donned an all-black, hooded ensemble, and gave a now-viral performance.





"We just wanted to tell everybody that, like, it's been really painful," Feldman, 45, said of the past 24 hours since the show aired. "We put ourselves out there and we did the best that we could. And, like, I've never had such mean things said about me. Like constantly."

Feldman's performance drew comments on social media as well as in the press, becoming a Facebook trending topic for most of Saturday. As the video went on, Feldman started to sob.

"All we can say is that we tried really hard," he said. "Because we love our fans and we just wanted to give them the best show that we could. But we don't deserve ... these things that are said about us are awful."

Anne has certainly Googled the performance – and said she saw all of the negative comments about Feldman.

"Like if you Google 'Corey Feldman Today performance' like every media is, like –," Anne started to say before Feldman finished her statement with, "Like 'Oh it's so bizarre and he's so weird and he's so odd.' "

Feldman said he didn't think his song deserved such a backlash.

"It was a song, okay? It wasn't that weird," he said, adding, "I'm sorry if it's not good enough for you, but you don't have to beat us up. I just want to say that, like, why is it okay to, like, publicly shame us? ... I don't understand ... It's, like, not PC to, like, say somebody is fat or somebody is white or somebody is black or somebody is yellow or green or if they have a short leg or if they have a missing finger. Like we can't talk about these things. But it's okay to bash Corey Feldman and the Angels."

For now, Feldman said he has a lot of fear about going in public again.

"We can't get out of bed right now," he said. "We're petrified to even go out ... And I'm sorry, but we just wanted the world to know, like, we're really freaked out over this and it's really not fair."

Anne attested to Feldman's concern for his well-being.

"He was really down last night, just so you guys know," Anne, who calls herself Feldman's "maingel," said. "And, like, I don't even know what to do or to say because I thought the performance was good and I was, like, excited about it."

Feldman said this should be considered bullying.

"Public shaming should not be accepted, no matter who you are," he said. "It doesn't matter if they're a celebrity or not. We deserve love and we deserve, like, normal life ... It's not okay, it's not acceptable to call us freaks, weirdos, losers, whatever."

Well it's gotten his name back into the pop culture realm a little bit so it's not all bad. Maybe that was his plan. Who knows.

Wait, so I'm not allowed to make fun of Jason Pierre-Paul's missing finger?

And unfortunately for Corey, if you seek fame sometimes you get it.

Yeah, that's what it comes down to for me. If you think you can garner riches and fame by shaking your ass for a few minutes instead of getting up and trudging to the coal mines every morning, you have to accept the gamble that shaking your ass will not be well received and result in derision.

It's the stakes of the game. Don't like it, don't play. Buy a coat and tie and find an anonymous office building to collect your paychecks from.

I have no problem with people who are actually willing to 'sacrifice for their art' but spare me the people who think that the world owes them an artistic lifestyle free of criticism or want.

He's been allowed to make 5......FIVE......albums???

[tecumseh]

They sure gave him alot of camera time. I'm sure those 5 albums were self financed. On his own label. One of the large distributors would be needed to get it to stores.

[tecumseh]

He is a passable Frodo.

Yeah, it's so easy today to self-finance an album or self-publish a book that they're useless as a credential. I know several people - check that, many people - who have written books, and I bet they've all combined sold less than 50 copies.

[tecumseh]

Well no one can say Corey didn't "Go for it".

[tecumseh]

The dude's ego dictates that he be the star. He might have something if he was behind the scenes, finding and promoting other artists.

I'm talking about whatever friends/family he has. Someone didn't have the balls to say "Hey look, I like you and all....but this is bad. Like really bad. You should forget the music career and find something else to do with your time."

Joke of Hollywood.

So that doesn't mean you have to subject us to it!


I wish this thread would go away and not come back.
