I am glad you express your opinion here and hope you aren’t discouraged to continue to do so. If we all felt the same about things, this site would be extremely boring.

I don’t think that you need to support anything just because you are a fan of someone’s music.  That kind of fan isn’t necessarily beneficial, because they will like anything that an artist sings, does or says, and that’s entering into cult-like behavior.  People have individual tastes, and there’s nothing wrong with expressing those opinions. 

I see nothing wrong with tweeting an opinion.  But tweeting it repeatedly over a period of a day is going above and beyond and that is what has happened with the call for HTH.  It isn’t a lot of people comparatively speaking but the repetitive nature makes it seem like more.  Never thought I would agree with fuzzy, but let James and his label be.  They own the strategy, which we know nothing of.  Express your opinion but then chill …

“Personally, I just draw the line when it comes to tweeting it to James. I
think at least as a fan, interacting directly with him, people should
stick to to the old wisdom: if you don’t have to say something nice,
better say nothing at all.”

I must have been missing all these tweets that seem to be causing all this reaction. I have seen no tweets that are disrespectful and certainly none sent directly to James that would be considered mean.

What am I missing?

James on Walm Soundcheck/interviews states why he loves & picked each song.  At this vital moment to win more fans for your favorite singer, how could dissing a song publically help.  He’s been busting butt–I don’t agree with or understand negative anythings right now that could hurt his goals.  Public support imo is needed behind chosen singles. He & Heidi posted a p.o. box address for fan mail–if need be, WRITE him.  See lots of praise for both songs (in/out of fanbases) & that’s the goal. I think his fan’s enthusiasm to promote him is simply saying “Wish he’d sing this one bc everyone will love it”.  I find, as you keep requesting same songs you wish you could change it up to bring all of them to listeners.  I am new to the radio req. & disappointed in the process.  I think they do artists a disservice by not letting stations play any songs from an album (repeat–love them all).  Humor me, I’m not naive & know it’s written in cement how it’s done.  (Voting contests a riduclous tool).  Streaming an album is great or Walm Soundcheck, for in this case (James & newly-formed band’s 5 song performances). It is so tiresome for me to listen to (Top 20/40, Rock, Ctry stations) when same songs are constantly being played.  I picture dj’s putting on 20-30 songs & htting replay all day.   
James does have good fans–his FB is full of great comments from fanbases & the public.  Quite obvious the acoustic performances are getting tiring–don’t blame him/them there–he & the band sound great plugged in!  

The first interview Conan did was hilarious!

I didn’t get to see it, but I consider you a pretty honest critic of James so if you said it was good, then I believe you. 

What twitter comments are brutal?  I looked at James’ timeline and only saw one or two negative remarks and tons of positive ones.

It’s good jult considering all the LMB performances before. It isn’t THAT good in absolute terms. i still keeping what I said before about LMB. And now mroe convinced.

Leandro, I totally agree with you and posted this same thing in the other thread with the video in it.  Considering the other acoustic performances of this song, this one was really, really good.  I actually liked it a lot.  I like this version of the song much better too.  And I too saw that the twitter comments they are referring too are the same people from other fan bases that bash James constantly.
