Haley Williams: Still a psychopath

[xCaptainx]

I'm not a Paramore fan but I listen to the radio occasionally and whenever I hear 'Playing God' to me it sounds like a blend of those two artists. Katy Perry does a very specific thing with her voice that Williams copies on this song and some of the note choices (and in fact the delivery) in the chorus are identical to Sanchez.

Just my opinion bro

what he was trying to point out is that Paramore were an active band, and recording YEARS before Katy Perry. Making your opinion of one copying the other an impossibility.

Exactly

 

[Kali Yuga]

Good riddance!

 

[LLink2411]

Wow, who knew stage dads could be more evil than stage mothers?

I have a feeling this is how the band "Halestorm" acts as well.


I wonder how many artists on Atlantic are actually "real."

 

[DLG]

where can I find these pictures of her breasts mentioned in the thread?

 

[drmosh]

who the fuck are paramore and why is this such big news? Never even heard of the band.

They released an album a few years ago that went platinum in the US (as well as gold in the UK, Canada, Australia, etc.) and had a lot of Grammy buzz.

The question isn't that, but really how many supposed legitimately grassroots bands are as they seem.

The music business is active to make one thing, money, and they sure as hell know how to make it by exploiting every single demographic that they can, including the relatively cynical and passionate group that is 'rebellious teenagers' who care whether they are listening to bands who mean what they sing, who have worked hard to get where they are, and who care about nothing as much as the music. Paramore is a perfect example of the business pulling the strings with a band so as to dupe the audience this way.

And yes, Hayley Williams is a total psycho hose beast.

Actually, the whole "label starting a band then making them appear genuine" is very common and has been for years.

A lot of the "true" bands of yesteryear were bands like this. Hell, what happens also is a band gets a following, then is changed by a label to be what the label wants once they get signed.

damnit i go to sleep for a few hours and i miss a ton of awesome title changes

Any more news on this whilst i have been napping?

Is hayley really the second coming of christ?

Have the 2 brothers joined Creed yet?

Have hundreds of distraught teen paramore fans threw themselves into the sea?

I don't see how considering that the tracks I've heard from Paramore before this one never incoporated this style of singing.

Think about what you're saying, it's not an impossibility at all.

I don't hear any vocal styling in Playing God that I haven't heard in another song of theirs before.

It's just my opinion man, we don't have to agree

OH, BUT WE DO!

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Why, thank you. You've got a rather sexy avatar yourself.

Thanks!


I can't believe we all care this much about Paramore

 

[Customisbetter]

Its just music. Who cares?

Nothing I read is going to stop me from listening to the music I do.

 

[vampiregenocide]

I still would.

Just for the record, Katy Perry released a record in 2001 as Katheryn Hudson. Thats not to say that her first record was like what she does now.

Same here, but music is a "package deal" for a lotta people. If they thought their favorite band was a "real band" that ground it out from the bottom up to get where they are, only to find out the singer (and only the singer) was signed to a major label before anything of substance even existed and the purpose of their existence was "sell, sell, sell"... that could impact their desire to continue listening. YMMV

 

[Adam Of Angels]

God damnit... I actually read this shit.
