First I wanna make it 100% clear that I am NOT accusing anyone of not being a fan.
I just think that some people haven't been acting like true fans lately, and I understand it mostly. I understand it's hard to support someone when you have no idea what's going on, when you have no idea who's in the band. I know all this, because I'm also going through all that stuff.
If you don't understand this, let me shed some light.
So, I went on to Menudo secrets for the first time today.
And it was sad, literally some of those made me want to cry.
Some because they talked about the guys not being together anymore and that idea was kind of placed in my mind tonight, even though I strongly believe Chris and Jose are in this new Mystery Group I guess it still hadn't hit me that if their in that group, their not gonna be in Menudo anymore. . .I was the same way with Justin & V, but then NLT split and I was looking forward to being able to see those guys still. So I wanted them to be in that group together.
But, now I'm guessing because Menudo hasn't really said anything about themselves for a while, it's kinda sad to think that those boys will never perform together again.
This might sound selfish, but I really wanted to see them perform together.
Not because I was just another fan, not because I thought they were cute or hot or all around amazing, it's because they love it. The way I seen those boys perform in videos they really loved singing and dancing and from my experience that is rare in a pop group.
So, I'm not trying to sound selfish when I say this but it sucks really badly if those boys aren't together anymore. We all know Carlos is going solo. That alone means Menudo won't be the same.
I love Menudo. I love all five of the boys that in my eyes, will ALWAYS be Menudo.
But it just makes me really sad to know the five of them as a whole will never perform together again, whether Carlos is the only one to leave or not.
And it doesn't matter how many fans bad mouth him for going solo, people forget that it's his life and his choices he has to make and live with. If Menudo wasn't making him happy, was he suppose to just endure it for our sake?? I would never ask him or any of the guys to do that.
If you love them all like you say you do, you'd want them to be happy too right?
Even if it meant them not performing together again. (And you have no idea how hard that was for me to accept just now myself, so yeah. . .Don't think it doesn't kill me to think they won't be together anymore)
My whole point of this blog I suppose is to just kind of encourage you guys that even if Menudo won't be the same without one or two or three of the guys, you should still support them if you really do love them. Like I said about Carlos, it's their lives. Their choices, their paths that they have to walk. And I understand how it could upset people about feeling unloved as a fan who has supported them for a long time, I understand how you can get discouraged when you don't know anything.
When this whole situation started with Menudo, when the rumors started flying I was really worried about the guys and then when Monti posted that bulletin about the whole thing and made a comment about changing members, I was so upset and mad and hurt. I didn't know what to do, I felt abandoned as a fan who had supported them a lot in the months that I had been listening to them. So, for about a month after Monti posted that bulletin, I didn't listen to any music from those guys. . .And let me tell you, I feel incredibly bad about that.
Because now I realize that I still love all of those guys the same way I did when I first started listening to them. No, I take that back I don't love them the same way I did, I love them more.
These guys are amazing no matter what.
Support them as you please, but please stop hating on them and being mean to them.
Some people don't stop to think that some things they probably legally can't tell us because of being under contract. All musicians are under contract when they are signed to a label, so it's probably got nothing to do with not wanting to tell us. It's probably because they can't tell us.
But I will ALWAYS support and love them.
Just like I said about NLT, no matter what these guys will always be Menudo to me.
If you took the time to read all that, thanks.
I know I ramble a lot and sometimes I don't realize how long the blog is until after wards, so I apologize if it takes you half an hour to read this blog.
Much love & [World] Peace <3
