i still love them just the same, i guess you're comparing the old and new paramore on the two albums, awkif is the kind of album you can rock your heart out to and riot kinda souds poppy. and i guess that's the reason why you guys say that its old/new paramore. their styles changed but their human, we also change our styles as we mature.but i'm pretty sure they're still the same people we knew and love since awkif. and they still love us.
and from an interview by pf.com [to people who are thinking that they are sell outs]
PF.com: You have to deal with alot of cricistism but not only from critics but from long term fans, how does it feel when they call you 'sell outs' and stuff?
Josh: It upsets us sometimes cause we... don't feel like we are selling out and we feel like they want to just keep us in a box. There are some bands that say no to MTV and no to alot of big things, but our band is selective about those things, but like we also need to be sucessful y'know? Thats the only way we can continue on.
Hayley: It's just fun too
Josh: It's not about like, we'll never sell out. Selling out to me is more like having people write songs for you, basically do everything for you, you just.. you know what I'm saying?
Hayley: Anything that makes them just... yknow...
PF.com: Turn into Divas?
Hayley: Yeah! (laughs) We just like... all the stuff we've done with MTV, even radio everythings been... has happened really organically.... and MTV has shown us so much support and the reason we're on TRL is cause you guys like voted for us. It's all been so much fun, all the skits we did for MTV, we had a blast doing that.
