Kesha Slays Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 4 hours ago, Kipper said: I honestly don't know a whole lot about the song itself, or why it specifically was chosen. Surprisingly I know next to nothing about Kesha's version, come to think of it. I do know that the song was shopped around a bit - don't have it on-hand sadly but there's an interview somewhere where Carlos mentioned it was pitched to Justin Bieber who passed on it (this was around the time they made the CRJ video). That song isn't bad but I think all of us here mourn the other option. I'd be very interested to know how far along hers got before they pulled the plug. I was today year's old when I discovered that Woo Hoo/Window's Down was pitched to Justin Bieber. That is interesting. I didn't know this. Thank you for telling me! I wonder why he passed on it? It would've been for his Believe album I think. By the CRJ video, do you mean the one where Justin and a bunch of people lip synced to Call Me Maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they (BTR and Justin) met in late 2011 or so, when they opened for him in Mexico. Then I guess they had a mutual friend group that led to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come I didn't know BTR opened for Justin's 'My World Tour'? That again is kinda off-putting to me. Mostly just cause I feel like BTR was just kind of starting out so to think that they were already ready to tour and stuff seemed kind of fast. Idk. I know they released their first album in Sept or Oct 2010 I believe so, I guess it makes sense. Edited March 22 by Kesha Slays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 (edited) Was trying not to bring this here, but formally stating for those who follow about the new music, I will no longer be updating this thread for anything created post-Another Life. I'm sorry y'all, I tried to get past what this dude is doing but it just gets worse, and worse, and worse, to the point where I'm genuinely not even a fan anymore and have no desire. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5l80nTvp1d/?igsh=aHVqcGZobmd4NjYw Carlos and his wife have equally insulting political takes, but at least their sphere of influence was limited to the QAnon/fundie cult crowd who stay in their own little bubble away from civilization, and we never really heard about it. This is just unavoidable no matter how active a fan you are. For me the separation of "art vs artist" ceases to be possible when 95% of said "art" is paid propaganda for an authoritarian military, whose crimes are so heinous and well-documented that suggesting otherwise is nothing short of an affront to the mind. As a lifelong fan of James and this band it's beyond embarrassing to witness and I'm officially hopping off this trainwreck. ✌️ The new BTR music has rarely exceeded mid territory anyway so... not the greatest loss if I'm being honest. We'll always have the classic Dawgs, whom I will still report on whenever possible Sorry for the drama I just wanted to let people know for the future.
