I'd been wanting to post about this for a while, but I just hadn't had the time.
Here's the thing. I'm not excited about DBS. I was when I first heard of it and I thought it was cool we'd get to listen to some new music from Chester and I loved Let Down... but now, I'm not even gonna buy the CD. I seriously wanted to find as much info on the band as possible and couldn't wait to hear the music and then I just stopped caring. In fact, I had talked about this with my friend Sadie and with Mickey, and I was just like, 'I don't have to love it just because Chester is involved.'
The first thing is that the songs just haven't caught my attention. The day I saw the webcast for the epicenter, I seriously got up to brush my teeth when DBS came out. I'm not excited about the songs, and even though I know Chester sounds amazing because he's a very talented singer, I just don't wanna go and hear the rest of the songs that are out there.
This could be because of how this whole thing has changed my opinion of Chester, from rolling my eyes so many times at Talinda's twitter that I had to unfollow her, to the little things that seemed so fake and manufactured simply to show off, to the small things that disappoint, like Chester laughing on the KROQ interview as he said, "I was divorcing this person that I hate and she took my house and my money..." it just makes me cringe. I seriously didn't like Sam at all, and her twitter had the opposite effect in me, making me see that she's a great person and to hear him say something like that on an interview it's just, ugh, like I said disappointing. I never assumed that Chester was perfect, but I guess I still had a different image of him in my head and the reality check has been a big one.
And then yesterday Ryan and Amir twitted about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, and even though I can understand the surprise about him winning, but I do not understand insulting the guy and it just really bugged me and disappointed me, specially from Ryan because I really don't care that much about Amir. It's not like Obama asked for the prize, and if you think about it, he's doing a hell of a lot more than Bush to keep from bombing the world.
I know these will all seem like stupid things to some and maybe they are... and die hard DBS-fans would tell me I'm crazy... but when I was just 'meh...' about DBS in the beginning, I just don't care at all right now.
