Why didn't Creed stick with the formula from MOP? Why can't Madonna EVER make up her mind what image she wants to project? For me, the answer is simplicity itself: They felt it was time for a change. I think a point that hasn't really been brought up should be mentioned. ALL musicians will eventually change their "image/style/sound", and not all of their fans will like it. (Perfect example, Cher. She's gone from "I Got You Babe" to the COMPLETE opposite end of the spectrum with her last hit. I hate the song so much I can't even remember the name, but I think EVERYONE knows which one I mean. I loved "I Got You Babe", detested the last one, but all in all, I still think she's a very talented performer.) But if some fans DON'T like it, there will be others who DO, and some of those may be NEW fans, who may then go back and "catch up" with that artist. Music, like any other "art", is constantly changing, and fans will either like it or move on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee Reed" To: Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 1:03 AM Subject: Re: Odp: Re: Selling Out. ..
