Clive big time missed out with this group, he could still be making money off them cause they were all good writers n they all had their own styles that mixed together. But testing shouldnt have nothing to do with it when u have their fans TELLING U what the hell they want to hear as a single, but no they dont listen to the fans!! Then they wonder why fans stop listening cause we as fans dont get asked!
Funny Jacob was 100% excited when this guy signed otown, said that he's a legand, but when he tells jacob that it isn't a hit...."oh it's a bunch of BS" haha
it wasnt about who got the spotlight..like ti is with most other boy bands and why they end up breaking up. No, with Otown it was family and love, camraderie and brotherhood. Wish you all the best guys
even if it didnt wrok out between them, Jacob and Janie will always have that moment between them..the time he sang his own song to her and kissed her at their live concert. And the satisfaction of knowing they gave it all they had..they tried with all their heart and sometimes it just doesnt work.
it was so cool of trevor and the rest of the guys to be so accommodating to him and back him up on his song at their concert. Great teamwork and love amongst them.
It's funny cause nowadays boybands are all doing this sound of full band no dancing since they've all gotten old & the new "boybands/kids" are doing the hip hop/pop/techno music while looking like emo/punk/rock bands minus the whole being able to play anything but their meat flutes.
@mikejessmax In all honesty, it really does not make sense for five guys to have singing parts, standing there with guitars. Everyone in a band should have instruments while there is one or two lead singers. Three guys with singing backup, not doing much, while two are playing guitars singing lead, I mean, the concept of it makes me feel these big stages will be sparse. BSA tried an album full of power ballads, and it didn't sell great.
@desireechick Just be a pop group and make better pop tunes. All saints and Sugababes (earlier Sugababes), some of Destiny's Child and even Backstreet made quality good pop songs, but being a rock band with just a couple of guitars...I don't think that can work successfully again. I will say, Clive proves these old white male music execs are out of touch with today's music scene it's disgraceful. Why, after leaving, Clive is an exec again boggles the mind, but so does Ke$ha, LOL
@desireechick Oh and instruments, I mean, drums, piano, etc. But, I do have the biggest open mind about music, and if a boyband that O town tired to attempt works out, that will be actually a very positive thing for the pop music industry bombarded with a tiny teen boy singing "baby" 80 times with just barely bearable verses, and a woman's claim to fame in music is outrageous outfits. Yeah, I know long explanation LOL sorry
They write really good songs.I think if more of their songs were on the album it would have done much better.I think Clive Davis is great but he is an old guy and doesn't know much about music anymore.

Clive is afraid of change and missed a great opportunity for them to become an alternative rock/pop band. Which is what is hot now.
