Justin....BRAVO!!! Quality answer, great n.p.
Well I'm gonna offer my opinion. I've been sitting silently and observing
this thread and I'm gonna make my peace and be quiet.
What make Sunny Day more respectable than these numerous pop stars that have
poped up? THEY WRITE THEIR OWN MUSIC!!!!!!! They as a group piece these
songs together with their own immaginations. The Pop star solution??? It's
just a formula. Some one creates a beat...comes up with the melody...someone
writes some vocal parts. Then they hire a seventeen year old with a decent
voice and tits that behold the miracles of modern science to sing it and
bounce around in videos and on stage. Come on now...Ms Spears does Not write
her own music...she never performed a live show before she made her CD. The
record company doesn't try to sell her musical genious...they're selling an
immage! She's a puppet! Sunny Day is a band. Who is "better" is a subjective
question. Opinions are like assholes... Who's more respectable? There is
little debate who wins that one hands down.
