fall out boy used to play
to a teeny bopper market, so for all we know,
the vast majority of fall out boy fans
may not have even cared about fall out boy anymore
by the time this album was released.




and on top of that,
most music fans don't have ecelectic tastes...
so i doubt that most of the folks that were fans of fall out boy
would also be a fans of the type of music on this album.
similarly, most of the r&b fans that may dig theses songs
probably wouldn't even be up on fall out boy.






and i'd hate to say it,
but the truth is that patrick stump just doesn't look famous.
hell... i LIKED fall out boy, and when i first saw the
videos, i assumed that media whore pete wentz
was the lead singer... b/c he was the only person
that drew my eye in the videos.


even though he lost weight... he still doesn't look
famous, and that couldn't have helped anything in terms of
promotion. his look doesn't have that "it" factor...

which is a damn shame.
b/c he's a talented dude.


i hope to hear more from him.
but he needs a stylist or charm school or something.
