Before you read this, if any of you love the Moffatts or Cleopatra and get totally peeved reading about someone's personal opinion on them, especially if the opinion's a little on the pessimistic side, then please don't read any further, okie? Okay$B)(Jhere goes. (I know what you're thinking$B)(J No, I am not a Moffatt or Cleopatra hater, I just have a few personal, uh, thoughts on them and their oh so original (gag gag) music and creative cute sibling ensembles).
"Nanananananana I'll be there!!" Ugh, what were they thinking, those Moffatt brothers? I wonder, really, how many songs there are out there that are titled "I'll Be There (for you)?" There's one by BoyZone done a couple of years back, there's that other one by Solid Harmonie, then there's another one that's the theme song for the 'Friends' TV show by the Rembrandts. And hallelujah thank god almighty, the Moffatts decided to make another "I'll Be There For You" song. First of all, if the Moffatts thought that they could rise to stardom with that annoying nananana song, (maybe they thought it resembled something we've heard before$B)(J Oh say something like 'mmmbop'?) then they must've had their heads stuck up their$B)(Jforget it$B)(J Simple enough, their songs just don't have that one special 'spark' that Hanson's songs do. Despite the fact that people say that 'MMMBop' sounds annoying and obnoxious, it still has one heck of a catchy tune. Not much I can say for some nanana song. (And I don't even wanna get into their 'I Miss You Like Crayyy-zee!!' song$B)(Jit's got the simplest love song lyrics I have ever heard: 'I used to call you my girl, I used to call you my friend, when I think of you, I don't know what to do$B)(J blah, blah, blah'). Second of all, did they think that they could pull off that cute brotherly act? Awww, triplets and their older brother who's only a mere 11 months older than the rest of them$B)(Jisn't that cute. Puh Leeze, someone gag me with a spoon. And as long as everybody's criticizing Hanson about their hair, can I say something about the Moffatt's? What's up with that little chunk of hair that they bleached bright yellow? It looks like they stuck the front part of their head up a frying pan$B)(J Wowee now there's a fashion statement for us to learn from. And that drummer$B)(JI must say that Zac is so much better than he'll ever be (Zac kicks butt!!)$B)(Jthat Moffatt drummer with the fried locks$B)I(Jmmm perhaps he thought it looked 'cool.' Please, someone gag me with a drumstick.
Now onto Cleopatra$B)(Jfirst of all I must say that they have got the most annoying voices ever. There's this one commercial of them on MTV Asia where they say, no shout$B)O(Jo they whine out, "HI! We're Cleopatra and you're watching MTeeeeVeee!!! YOUR most wanted MUSIC CHANNNELLLL!!!!" You feel like stuffing their mouths with pillow feathers$B)(JI'm serious it's the most obnoxious thing you've ever heard. Then there's their Cleopatra Comin' Atcha song$B)(J And there's their irritating little voices again. Agh! Although I think that their hair's waaay cooler than the Moffatts, with their cool dreads n braids and stuff, I still firmly believe that they have got the most annoying voices ever. Plus, the thing that really ticked me off, was the way that they said, "Hanson? Ah they're nothing but spoiled brats." Uhh, no I don't think so, you three sisters sitting here just saying that their brats, proves that you yourselves are the real brats. Has Hanson ever gone and said anything bad about you to other people? Much less say anything bad about anybody? No, I believe not, so why should you all of a sudden, go and say that Hanson are 'spoiled brats?' Besides, all the Cleopatra sistas know how to do is dance on their beds and on other people's cars and whine about how "Live Ain't Easy" and how "Cleopatra's comin' atcha." Anyone can do that, heck, me and my cousin were capable of doing an even better *shouting* rendition of 'Live Ain't Easy' the other day whilst jumping on my bed. Hanson, on the other hand, know how to write music, play it, sing it, and just present it in a way so beautifully, that it just leaves you in awe. Sadly, the same can't be said for the Cleopatra sisters$B)(Jtheir shouting singing won't get them anywhere.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not the mean and chastising person I appear to be it's just that these two bands seem to really get on my nerves. They just seem too 'manufactured' to be real. Hanson, on the other hand, do everything on their very own$B)(Jand they worked darn hard as to get to where they are now. I think that some credit should be given to these brothers, and that the critics should turn their criticizing remarks towards the Moffatts or Cleopatra instead. Sadly yet, lots of Thai people here love, love, love the Moffatts and Cleopatra. (But don't worry, they also love Hanson, so it all sorta evens out$B)I(Jehe). Now, if you're a big Moffatt or Cleopatra fan and don't like what I said above, please don't send me any hate mail, cuz as I clearly said at the very beginning: This is my own personal opinion, and if you don't like that, then DON'T READ THE FREAKIN' THING! Okie$B)(JI think I've said enough for today$B)(J=P Back to Opinion Page
