There is no denying the artists have talent. You don’t sell 2 million copies of a CD in a week without at least SOME talent, because even the (mostly) teens who buy it are going to demand some talent (this is NOT a slam of teens, just a testament to their youth). Personally, I always point to the mighty AC/DC. They’ve been blasted THOUSANDS of times for playing the same three chords in all their songs, yet they are still one of the most respected bands in all of rock, and they’ve been around for EONS! -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of Nikki Rau Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 11:03 PM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: Bullets?

But hey it's all a matter of opinion, unlike in sports, talent is undeniable, either you've got it or you don't, and it shows.                                                                                                                                             Jess Jess, thank you for realizing that they write their own music...most people don't believe me when I tell them that, and it irritates the heck out of me.  People tell me that Nsync don't play instruments and I get to tell people that I saw them do it firsthand, at their sound check party I was lucky enough to go to before the show. Before they came down and talked to us, they were up sitting where the band was, playing Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones, and doing it well..people just don't understand that them playing instruments don't fit in with their show, that's why they have a band, obviously.  And Britney, I do like her music, but her voice will never amount to anything if she don't start singing live, I know its because of the dancing, but alot of people dance as much as her and still sing..they just work on it and develop the stamina and the strength to do it, and shes not doing that. Okay, I rambled again..lol Nikki To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
