I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
It's a little sad, really, how lately I don't really feel anything towards Alice Nine or JYJ. Then again I remember my feelings have always been ever-changing. Especially with Jae - there were times when I adored him and then there were times when I almost disliked him. And lately it's the latter. I really don't like the way he took. It's kinda funny considering I always wanted him to do rock but in the end I prefer good pop over bad rock. But it's not just the boring solo album, that wasn't much of a surprise - it's rather his general image, the way he holds himself. He's so full of himself and it seems like he doesn't even want to be in a band anymore since he wants all the attention for himself. Yoochun has devoted himself to acting completely and while it's his right to decide what he wants it's sad that he doesn't let people his wonderful voice. That and he does look like a hobo. And Junsu... I have nothing bad to say about him. He's always been working hard and he can't do it any other way. It's just that I never really liked him enough to follow him specifically. Junsu has enormous talent but little sense so his solo albums are a terrible waste.
I guess in the end I feel cheated. I remember Jae's tears at the Tokyo dome Thanksgiving but I'm afraid they have forgotten all about that. I thought about that when I watched NEWS' 10 Anniversary DVD. NEWS are completely and utterly devoted to their fans because they feel like they owe them big time but, you know, 4 years ago I thought that about JYJ and yet the last time I've seen their concert it was vulgar, boring and often half-assed (well, apart from Junsu). It's like once they felt solid ground and steady support they forgot about 'working harder' and settled on 'good enough'. They've been promising to release an album for like 2 years now but they keep delaying it every time and honestly I just can't see it happen anymore. I feel mildly disappointed but I guess nothing can disappoint me quite like TVXQ did so I'll live.
Whew. I was keeping this to myself but it had to be written. I guess I've finally reached an age where I don't feel personally responsible for the bands I like and if they suck I'll say they suck. It's just really liberating you know.
