I think you're taking Becky wrong. She's one of the most positive people on this board. She's the first one to defend the guys. She's also going to tell you flat out how she feels about something. You asked about what bothers us...and she told you. Once you're here a little longer I think you'll see that Becky is quite positive, just very opinionated! LOL!

Well on a show called Pop Stars they probably wouldn't show or mention Bon Jovi.
Yep...I get you re: POP STARS [and the band aren't]...but the point wasn't that...it was to do with them showcasing Universal's artists [big and not so big names]...no mention of BJ in that showcase - doesn't make a difference to me what show it was on - BJ should have been mentioned...they weren't...and that peeves me.

Listen to Jenn. You have Becky all wrong. Plus, why open a topic like this if you don't want to hear what people really have to say?

I've been on here a lot longer than it looks, just had to change my screenname a few times due to login probs.

It's not a big deal, I just requested that we don't bash the band for a bit. I dunno about Becky, but people can be pretty negative on this board.

If you don't like the negativity, why open a thread that promotes it? Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good topic, but it is a topic that will require a bit of bashing because, after all, people are pointing out their pet peeves about the band.

I think you're confusing BASHING with having an informed and honest opinion. I've been a fan over half my life and I've spent thousands of dollars and traveled thousands of miles to see the band. If I have something critical to say, you can believe I do so from the view point of someone who really loves the band. I don't bash for the sake of bashing like some people.

That if you're a female and a Bon Jovi fan you're only a fan because you find one or more of the guys attractive, as if by virtue of estrogen overload, we're too stupid to like the band for the vocals, lyrics, music, or live performances.

That the audience is comprised of teen age girls who think Jon is hot. Okay, what time warp do you have to be living in to still think this? In 1989, yes, the audience had a lot of teenage girls. Now it's about an even mix and most people at a show are in their 20's and up.
Becky
Thank you Becky!
Everyone puts me into that group: I'm a teen girl and I like Bon Jovi, so I don't know what real music is and the only reason I like Bon Jovi is because I think "he" is hot. Untrue!!

Thanks for your Jovi resume, girlfriend... that's great. Say what you wanna say, regardless of how long you've been a fan or how much money you've spent on them, or how far you've traveled. I guess it's my fault for voicing my own opinion.

I was hoping for less negativity TOWARD the band. By asking this question, I was hoping to hear the things people dislike that happen Jovi related, but not what Jovi does themselves. Again, I guess I shoulda been more specific.
