I stumbled across this video on YouTube today. It was one of the featured videos. First and foremost, The Bridges, you are not Eisely so quit it. And just because you inevitably had some blockbuster songwriter doctor up some “hit” for you, doesn’t mean that you are even remotely good. I’ll link to this video only in an effort to explain myself, knowing full well that to some degree I’m still promoting them. My only hope is that it remains negative promotion and you cats don’t decide that this crap is good.
Yeah. You’re all pretty much unbelievably beautiful. Some might even argue perfect. Not me… but some people. But 1. what is up with that weird voice, 2. tell your idiot drummer to stop flailing around and pretending to be some kind of pop icon drummer who looks like the singer of that High School Musical type showtunes “pop” band ____, and 3. at least come with some type of sincerity with your shit. Good luck and all, but right now The Bridges, you suck.
Who knows, maybe I could be way off, but these fools seem like a blatant attempt of some bigwig that thinks he knows “what the people want”. Might as well have been put together by P. Diddy. We’ll see what else they come out with and if it comes across with as little realness (if that’s a word) as this does.
I also think I was fooled by that Duffy chic (I even felt strongly enough to have blogged the shit out of her. Idiot.), who still is pretty damn cool and I do dig most of her shit, because at least she seems like she might write her stuff. But I did hear an interview with her on World Cafe one day and it totally ruined her for me. Maybe it was just her Welsch accent and over-bearing personability, but something seemed off. Too off to be real in any capacity. So, as far as I’m concerned, she might be some Lou Pearlman type pop creation, too. Granted I’m still listening to her shit, but no - I will not buy your album. You either The Bridges. You either.
