rewind_xx Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm subscribed to a christian magazine called Brio [briomag.com] and i just got the november issue and the mail today and to my surprise they were in it. They're in this section called High Voltage where people ask questions about music. I'm not going to scan it cause its just one of the pictures from the 06 photoshoot with her in her twloha shirt with the green and purple ish tights. and we all remember that LJ post a while back about her appologizing for using "God" in misery business. [edit] and if you haven't read it, you can read it here.. http://paramoreband.livejournal.com/31376.html So the question was: "My friend told me about a band called paramore. I tried to check out their new album. Are they any good?" Answer: If you like the pop punk sound of avril lavigne but dont roll with her language and rebellious attitude, paramores a strong secular alternative. not that a 18-year-old hayley williams is a straight up soundalike. she's not. shes better. her versatile, energetic vocals also bring to mind kelly clarkson. lyrically, the band sorts through emtional brokenness without getting mired in it. my favorite songs on Riot! not only vaule things such as patience, truth and innocence but also realize they're more than just a pipe dream. plenty of hope and optimism. maybe thats because some members of paramore profess christian faith. you can sense that subtle spirtuality on a number of tracks, though one will seem out of place: the hit misery business has harsh words for a manipulative girl and misuses the lords name a handful of times. the good news is that Williams is bothered by it, too. a post on the bands offical site admits "I'm ashamed to say that, although i'm a believe in Jesus Christ and i claim him as my God, when i wrote those lyrics i wasnt addressing Him. I was using his name cassually. In vain, to be blunt." We all make mistakes. I respect Hayley's desire to set the record straight and will pray that she has opportunities to share her faith with fans needing the Gospel. hah i thought that was pretty cool that they used the lj reference [: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly is an untrained singer that got her fame through an overplayed reality tv contest. It's no coincidence either that she ends up canceling most of her shows due to "bronchitis". Somehow comparing hayley whom sits on around five years of vocal training (SLS no less oO;) and who also made it on their own doesn't seem to make a very proper analogy. Other than that it's a good review I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indabisofmisery Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 ^ i couldn't have said it better myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I wish they's stop comapring Paramore to crappy commericial pre-teen girl acts. (No offense to Avril and Kelly fans, I just ain't a big fan of their music) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewind_xx Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 yeah, it was in the nnovember issue.. but it was in brio & beyond but it should be in the regular one too. &&iagree with what you guys are saying about the avril and kelly thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arya Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 ^ Ohhhh no wonder. I get the regular Brio. Next year I can get Brio and Beyond, haha. But still, that's a mostly good review on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJess Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yea... kelly clarkson. Kelly is an untrained singer that got her fame through an overplayed reality tv contest.

Somehow comparing hayley whom sits on around five years of vocal training (SLS no less oO;) and who also made it on their own doesn't seem to make a very proper analogy. Other than that it's a good review I suppose! Seriously. I was like okay they said she's better than Avril but then compared her to Kelly? I'd say she beats both, considering she can actually sing live and do it quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:_: Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Can't they just stop comparing Paramore with Avril and Kelly? They're so much better. And it was cool that they used the LJ reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arya Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Brio came in today. It's in my issue too! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parawhore914 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 haha, nice. although I'm a bit bothered by them being compared to Kelly and Avril but--I guess we should get more used to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeneram Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 i hate how they always compare hayley to avril, because honestly avril has no talent and cannot sing! i can write and sing way better songs than avril lavigne can. sheesh!

Jeneram Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 ps. no offense to avril lavigne fans, i'm just stating my opinion, not trying to directly attack anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arya Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 ^ I know what you mean. Hayley has way more talent than Kelly and Avril combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBTSlMob1us Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I pretty much agree with most of the above posts, but I think the article was only saying that the voices sound similar... I agree that she's overall better, but that's kind of a general idea of the flavor of her voice for people who haven't heard Paramore before. I think it's cool that they are such a positive band. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganm15 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 not that a 18-year-old hayley williams is a straight up soundalike. she's not. shes better. um...YEAH she is! ALOT better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
