Even if I had the choice
I would not give up'
When I heard McFly's latest single, Party Girl, I thought: "No way, they've become stupidly mainstream now."
I joined in with the youtube commenters that started to slate their new style, but then the song grew on me and I found myself getting a hold of it. And then they brought out this one, with Taio Cruz, and I kind of started to like them again.
I remember when I saw them live years ago (2004!), supporting Busted along with the boyband V - God, where did they go? But yeah, then they were just cute, innocent boys who wanted to be a poppy, popular band. And they managed it and provided good, catchy music for a good couple of years. And now, they've released a new album that's completely different and I started to complain but, hang on - don't a lot of artists have to do this now? Or even want to do this?
When AFI released Decemberunderground they lost a lot of hardcore punk fans, because they'd 'changed' their style. And when Linkin Park released their latest album, A Thousand Suns, I asked people what they thought and they think they've changed for the worse. Why is it that people are hard to adjust to change? Heck, when Panic! At The Disco released 'Pretty. Odd.' it took a while to get used to it. (and I seriously had to think about their album name, I couldn't remember it)
It's so weird that we just stick to what we're used to, and are so afraid to accept a change. So afraid to adjust. It's true everywhere. And I'm not saying that I'm not scared of change, either (in fact, I think I'm the worst) - I'm just.. you know, pointing it out. Thinking about it.
Anyway, I've just found V on Youtube. Ha. :P
