We all love Hanson... for numerous reasons. Definitely the music, looks, and personality are major reasons as to why we love 'em... but *shrug* we think there's a whole lot more! Here's our "little" list of 101 reasons.
1.) They've got awesome music that you just have to give into and sing along to no matter what. 2.) They're "multi-talented" cuz they've got the vocals and instrumentals under control... ah, effortless talent, I guess, hehe. 3.) MMMBop. Face it, even after all this time, that song still is *special* (Stop gagging, you know what I mean....) Cuz hey, that was the song that started it all. 4.) Have you ever heard a better rendition of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", "Silent Night" and....? We thought not. 5.) Because they 'made up' Albertane... definitely on my list of places to visit when I grow up... err.. *wink*. 6.) They've worked SO hard as to get where they are now. They're no one-night-wonders... no way. 7.) The oh's in all they're songs. Don't pretend you don't know what we're talking about. 8.) Face it, they are 3 awfully good looking guys. 9.) Zac's famous *bright* yellow boots. (Ah, I'm blind...gimme some shades, quick!) =D 10.) They've got songs that you can cry to, sing to, dance to, swooon to (admit it, you've done it), and just relate to as if they were singing about you. Hey, we've all had bad days, right? (Think "I Will Come To You") 11.) Even though it's probly way hard on them, they manage to keep their cool whenever they're in front of a crowd or camera. How cool is that? 12.) They haven't put out annoying pieces of merchandise... like dolls. (Ewww... think Ken with long blond hair and skinny legs... sorry, no offense, but the real thing is so much better than the plastic one… stop thinking what I think you're thinking, you perverted dorks!) 13.) They devote time to their fans, which is cool... they *really* love us! Stop gaping, I haven't turned into a demented teenybopper, god no. 14.) Three words: Tall, blond and HANSON (hehe... gotcha). Could it be more perfect? 15.) They sing cover songs that actually sound better than the original, yet you can't imagine anyone singing *Hanson's* songs and actually getting away with it. (Sudden relevation: Can you imagine someone else doing their own rendition of "MMMBop"? Oh dear...) 16.) They can act! (Um, sorta... remember Saturday Night Live? Hmmm) Hey we needed another reason, kay? 17.) Face it, Christmas was never this fun... until "Snowed In" arrived. ; ) 18.) They're downright down-to-earth. :) 19.) They've got a corny-funky-adorable-cheezy sense of humor that makes you laugh... even if you admit that your Dad could tell better jokes =) 20.) How easy it is to get one of their songs stuck in your head. Although it can get annoying when you don't want to be singing Hanson 21.) Amazing, they're the kind of guys you could take home to meet Mom and Dad. (Yeah right, like that'd ever happen...wishful thinking?). 22.) Admit it, how many of you fell over and doubled over with laughter with Isaac and Zac's little lesson on "Treeology" in TTMON? (Hi, I'm Joe, and I'm going to be your tour guide for today. O-kay). Yes, they know how to make us laugh. =) Whatta crackup 23.) So far, they've showed no signs of being arrogant, conceited, or egotistical... *shrug* maybe they're even nicer than some of the "regular" guys at yer skool. 24.) You know how to annoy your family, which could come in handy sometime. Just threaten to play all your Hanson CD's and VDO's at the same time. They know better than to mess with *you*. ; ) 25.) They're not brain-dead Druggies (as far as I know...) 26.) They handled that pre-pubescent "ohmigod-their-voices-are-deeper- now" crap without any fuss. Imagine how horrible that must've been for them. Having your teenage years be in the limelight of the public. Geesh. 27.) Despite that crap about "Hanson-having-long-hair-and-oh-they-look -like-girls"... *I* think that the long hair fits them just fine. 28.) They've got terrific personalities. 29.) They have great fashion sense (well sometimes...)... and they can get away with wearing stuff a lot of guys couldn't. 30.) They've got some good advice in their songs that can be comforting at times: "So hold onto the ones that really care..", "Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days, and you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way.." 31.) They know how to put on a pretty jAmMin* concert... better than a lot of other bands/singers. 32.) You never know how a live song is gonna turn out... think "More Than Anything"... dude! That song blew me away, literally ; ) I was a blithering idiot with glazed and hazy eyes at the end of it LOL. WAY TO GO ISAAC!!!! 33.) They're truly talented... no manufactured sound for us... no! 34.) How many of you agree with me, when I say that "Middle of Nowhere" was one of *thee* best albums you've bought in the past couple of years or so? It didn't just have a couple good songs... the whole album kicked. 35.) Celebs, reporters, tabloids, *ahem* Seventeeen!! (grr, traitors), and MTV VJ's diss them... but they just shrug it off... now that's what I call cool, laid back maturity. 36.) MTV's Death Match was just so friggin* hilarious... (no offense to any of you who actually got *mad* at MTV's Death Match... I just thought it was funny to see them rip up Baby Spice and then have Marilyn Manson come storming in with a hacksaw... or maybe I'm just demented, which could be highly possible) 37.) After "Titanic" and "City of Angels", "Jack Frost" is now gonna be my utmost fave. movie. *wink* you know why....4 big reasons....one being Taylor Handley (heheh)...and the other 3.... well.... go figure ;) 38.) Ok, it has to be said... they're sexy ; ) 39.) Making this list is fun (sorry, that's not really a reason, but it's true =P) 40.) They're just like regular joes... they collect hotel shampoo bottles(ok maybe that's not exactly NORMAL but...), go rollerblading just like *gasp* regular guys, and love their family bunches. *Cool* 41.) They don't snub their fans. (unlike NSYNC!!!! GRR!! NSync may SEEM nice and great.... but trust me.. they're not!! Thier music is good though) ok Got a little pissed there... next.... 42.) Who else, other than Hanson, could've put on a rOcKin* Eggo Waffles commercial? (Known fact: it's very hard to make a commercial for something like waffles, interesting. Nevertheless, Hanson managed to pull it off). All of a sudden, waffles are so exciting. 43.) They get asked the dumbest questions (i.e. "How did you guys come up with the name Hanson?") yet never get annoyed. (well they at least play it off like they aren't annoyed.) 44.) They don't *just* play their own instruments, they all play the piano and Tay just kicks butt on the drums....remember the Albertane Tour? (And yes, he did look hot whilst drumming, hehe) 45.) Two words: pUfF bRocCoLi (Luv my veggies! Hahaha) 46.) They can, um, sorta rap. (Remember TTMON, where Zac and Isaac do that spitting thing into their cupped hands thingymajiggy? Yeah.... that). Hey they tried...thank god tay stopped em before it got outta hand. 47.) They admit that they're no super jock athletes... but that's ok, we know that mUsIc is so much more rockin*, right? =) 48.) They think pick-up lines are stupid, cool! (BTW. They suggest to guys that instead of using pick-up lines.. to just be yerself!!) ~but don't hesitate to check out our section of horrible pickups! hahah 49.) I betcha they're great brothers to their younger siblings. I mean, how many guys do ya know, would actually make up lullabies and sing them to their younger brathas n' sistas? 50.) No criminal record. (as of yet or that we are aware of) 51.) Zac likes Chris Farley... um, ok, no comment. LOL 52.) They don't lip sync... thank god almighty... Geesh, what's the point of even being in a band if you can't even sing live. 53.) They know how to have fun. 54.) They get asked to sign autographs all the time, yet never snub their fans because of that. Unlike some other celebs who brush you aside cuz they're too darn lazy to just pick up a pen and sign their name. How hard can *that* be?! 55.) When everyone else was listening to stuff like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice, they were listening to Chuck Berry, Otis Redding, and Billy Joel. Too cool. 56.) They always give smart-ass answers to the dumb questions they get asked... hehe, well, it's the interviewers fault. If they want the right answers, they should've asked the right questions. (That means none of that "Do you have girlfriends" crap) 57.) They're the best of friends. 58.) All of a sudden, Tulsa University seems like a fascinating place to go to for college... that is, if Stanford and MIT don't work out (Yeah, right). 59.) They write their own music which makes it seem so genuine and meaningful. 60.) Their appearances on TV talk shows are never boring... that is, despite the fact that they get asked the same questions and we *already* know the answers before they answer them... but, oh well. =) 61.) It must be said again. They've gotta strong sense of brotherly love and somehow you have this feeling that they're gonna be together as a band for a very long time... and *not* break up or fall apart like other family bands. (yeah we're running outta reasons....so what) 62.) They just sound so adorable on "Three Car Garage", "MMMBop", and "Boomerang". (Kinda like Alvin n' the chipmunks... hey, Simon, Alvin, and Theodore... hehe, cute). 63.) They know when to have fun, and when to get down to business. 64.) Zac thinks of himself as a walking cartoon LOL. (ok I, Kristi, was not aware of this but thanks for the info Lynn!) lol 65.) They know how to make these romantic mushy little comments (which they *know* that the girls wanna hear lol), know how to have fun and crack us up with their corny jokes, and make totally ruLiN* music.. why can't there be more guys like that living down the block?!?! =) 66.) They're really serious about their music. 67.) They appreciate poetry... cOoL 68.) Going to Hanson concerts and meeting other Hanson fans from around your area is fUn. (Not including the girls who jump up and down like kangaroos on steroids and pogo sticks or scream and cry till they being to hyperventilate…. God, for the sake of those around you.. DONT!) 69.) They think that playing classic piano is really cool. 70.) Isaac wants to be an X-man.... LMAO hehehehe.... (again, I, Kristi, was completely oblivious to Isaac's future career goal but hey...) 71.) Even the President and the First Lady think they're cool. (ok Lynn and this says a lot because why?) 72.) Zac admits to picking his nose... uhhh... guess that proves to show that they're honest guys... hmm... (uhh yeah next... 73.) They've got a lot of vision, dedication, and devotion towards their music which is hard to find in lots of musicians now a days. (Other people just do it for the fame and money). 74.) Without instruments, and with just their voices, they sing a capella like pros. 75.) The "River" VDO cracked us up, and we thought that those clips from when they were young were just adorable. The days before the madness =) (hahha comment from Kristi again... I don't think I ever even saw the River video.. I'll hafta check that one out) 76.) Despite the fact that they attract so many screaming fans, receive hundreds of thousands of letters and gifts a year, and have girls by the truckload whizzing past their house every day in hope of getting a glimpse of them, they remain modest and don't take advantage of all this attention. 77.) Zac invented the "zAcrOnYm". And example of this is the word "Fork" which is a clever combination of Fun and Work. Wow. Zacarooni, the next Einstein. Sorry, that was soooooo lame lol. 78.) They're so charismatic in their own funny/goofy way. 79.) They relay their creativity and imagination through drawing. (and music) 80.) No, I haven't run out of reasons yet.... =) 81.) It seems very unlikely that they'll let fame turn them into egotistical and conceited jerks. =) (ok is this the 3rd or 4th time i've said that?!) 82.) They *don't *do stupid dance routines during their concerts. Hallelujah! Just the instruments and vocals for us, thankyouverymuch! 83.) Despite the fact that there were so many stops on their Albertane Tour, (I believe there were like 40+) they still managed to play, sing, and interact with the audience like pros. (remember Summertime Blues live?! God how cool was that!!?) 84.) They're *not* neat freaks LOL 85.) They don't have cheezy Saturday morning cartoon shows. OMG, can you imagine them drawing Zac, Isaac, and Taylor as cartoon characters? 86.) Zac's coolio dreadlocks. I just love them. (comment by Lynn....Kristi hates them) 87.) The "Weird" VDO was just so creative and inventive. I so totally thought that it was worth an MTV Music VDO award or two... Definitely their coolest VDO yet. 88.) Isaac's Butthead imitations. As cheezy as they may seem, they still make me laugh. 89.) You know that as long as you're on the net, you'll never be bored cuz you have at least 7,963 Hanson sites to visit. 90.) They have great taste in music. (a definite +) 91.) It's really fun decking up the X-mas tree whilst dancing along to "Merry Christmas Baby". 92.) Then, later, on Christmas Eve, it's really fun to go to sleep whilst listening to "At Christmas". 93.) When your music teacher asks you to do a report on any artist of the 90's, you don't have to go to the library and do any boring research... you've *already* got all the info on Hanson... as well as pictures, posters, music samples, clips of their older stuff, quotes, wavs, you name it. ; ) 94.) Every time you see Puffy on TV all you can think of is Isaac's little broccoli scenario from “Road to Albertane”... LMAO. (yeah that and how friggin awesome he iS!!! - Kristi) 95.) One day, when you've got kids, you're probably gonna be buying them a "Time Life" Compilation of songs... which have Hanson songs written all over it. awww 96.) The rumor saying that Taylor used to run around in a baseball cap and plastic sword when he was a kid LOL. 97.) They've got streets named after them and their songs... cOoLioZ! 98.) Their songs have given music a whole new meaning (no, I'm not sucking up or giving you sentimental crap again...) 99.) Their milk ad has given milk a whole new meaning (haha sorry!! that was so lame!!!) 100.) They're just three terrific guys with great personalities and a great sense of humor. (yeah yeah for the 83rd time) 101.) They just plain rOcK. (We LoVe yeR mUziC, hAnSoN, kEep it Up 637)
