Think you misunderstood me. Didn't mean there was anything wrong with it, just that I prefer Elliott's genuine approach. And I think you understand what I was trying to say when I said manipulative.

there's nothing wrong with an artist trying to inspire a feeling or sending a message. thats art. and i guess you could say that art is somewhat manipulative if you want to use that word

Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sure everyone here has cried listening to his music at some point or another. :) And I completely agree. Seems like Elliott wrote about and communicates exactly what he was feeling at the time whereas you can tell some other song writers are intentionally trying to inspire a certain emotion and send some stupid message. Can be construed as manipulative almost. It's all about expression, not about getting someone to feel a certain way IMO.

Thanks. I try not to listen to those bands, I'm too old. But I was a really stupid teenager myself so I wouldn't try to lift myself up by putting them down. Anyway, as I listen to Smith every day I realize he had to make music to live. A real artist. Real music communicates real feeling, which is what gets to people and makes them cry. (Yes I cry when listening to Elliott's music)!

Lol. It shouldn't matter to you. Really winds me up when people come to Elliott's videos just to have a dig at him and his fans. I hate "fall out boy" and "My chemical romance", I think their fans are pathetic emo teenagers who can't quite grasp what real music is. Yet, I don't go to their videos purposefully to insult them. That's just sad.

I wish these comments wouldn't line up to make it look like brendaniscool were responding to me.
