So, thank god for the press conference, it explained everything.
I don't even know where to begin...
I guess the flat basic; it was RS that pulled the rug out from under them.
True, solo projects would be very good for them, but that doesn't mean they have to be CUT APART INDEFINITELY?
And wtf is this "We want you to be remembered at the top of your game, so quit now" bullshit?
"You've already accomplished everything, nothing else left for you to do?"
FUcking hell there was nothing left for them to do!
Look at GMM and their Asia-infiltration! Dan-Beam was RS's best ticket to competing on the international market, now what. THere was still plenty they could have tackled. RS, ARE YOU SMOKING THE SAME CRACK AS JOHNNY'S ENTERTAINMENT? CAUSE I SWEAR TO BEAM YOU'VE BOTH DIVED OFF THE DEEP END.
Though it is comforting to know that neither Dan nor Beam had anything to do with this decision. Is extremely comforting, in fact. Because the boys did not want this, to see them sobbing during the press conference was heartbreaking, but hope-inspiring.. For as long as they are still friends, and as long as they'd still like to continue together, there is hope. Dan has one more year, then his contract is gone. My poor Beamie still has till the end of 2009, but still..after that, they should pack up their bags together and see what other companies can offer them.
But yes, so now I am no longer depressed, confused, or suicidal haha. Just angry.
MEL IS IRATE!
And apparently RS told the boys TWO DAYS before the official announcement and press conference. So it was as much of a shock and smack in the face for them as it was for the rest of the fandom.
Psh, talk about artists betraying their companies? Try the other way around.
Hell, that's exactly how I feel; betrayed.
After all the years I defended RS, scoffed at Grammy, always tried to understand all RS's career decisions, always tried to look past their weeknesses and still insist they were better than GMM, they go and pull this. And I can't look past, ignore, or try to dumb down this decision, because it's seriously is just the straw that breaks the camel's back.
True, duh, Dan-Beam weren't going to last FOREVER, but let the boys decide when they're done; it's easier for the fans to accept and respect, hell, it's easier for the boys to accept and respect.
iojaioio;soiiodjfjijsjejf. Blah.
They should swap to Sony BGM. Cause seriously, they may not be as huge as GMM or RS in Thailad, but they're third, and seeing all the freedom and opportunities they're giving ToR+ they seem like a very open-minded company~ Not to mention international.
Meh. I guess...the only thing to do is wait and see what the boys decide to do? Two more years..darn it, P'Beam, why you have to have an extra long contract? u_u
I do have to say, though, that once again I am astounded by the unity of a fandom <3
Like everyone worked in an interweb to spread all news, to comfort and calm, to keep strong.
It was just like when NEWS was almost destroyed, the whole NEWS fandom just came together and pushed eachother on, it was really neat to experience, and is neat to experience with D2B too. As long as the fandom's there, D2B will never die~ Just keep fighting, my boys~ ♥
