Add to that hotness some sweetness and you have Shania Twain. :wink:

But I can see JSS and Gwen together on a stage performing a duet.They are a good match.Both passionate and assertive.

Ugh...Way too much lipstick. Just way too dolled up for my taste.

People that hate Natalie Maines for her comments should be more open minded (read not hardcore repulican), and give the girl a chance. She lives in the U.S. where free speech is (still barely) something many of us enjoy. I actually like her more for going against the tide. It´s ok (allegedly) for so called fans of country music to threaten people´s lives, but not for celebrities to speak their minds? WTF??? More people will listen to what a celebrity has to say, than the average jo or joann, good or bad.

The bunch of hypocritical country hick "stars" that hate her and bad mouth her every chance they get, aren´t selling nearly the amounts of records that the Chicks are selling. Yes more money is made for an artist in concert, but really in the U.S. is where the biggest problems are. The Chicks are selling lots more tickets outside the states. (too bad for them)

I´d love to see Her and JSS together for a song. Even if it was just to piss people off. Sheryl Crow is a great talent, I dont discount her, she could make some sales too. Gwen? ehhh, maybe with Perry would be the best bet, if it were between Perry and JSS/Journey.

I don't think most people hate her for those comments. I think they were stupid things to say, especially running down your own President on foreign soil. That was stupid, no matter who said it.

Anyway, it wouldn't bother me in the least if JSS were to do something like that with her.

Isn't your Dream Project about a Spanish album? I think Dean's always wanted Journey to perform with The Corrs or something. Sounds completely different to me.

DEANO:

1.NEAL WILL NEVER LISTEN TO YOU. ( Neal, please don't listen to Deano)

2. This is an idea I already mentioned. I suggested Paris could make a good front for the band. Primarily because of her hit right now and the succesful Porno. I no longer like this idea however.

I think it has more to do with trashing the President on Foreign Soil, then kinda apoligizing for it llike she didn't mean it, then recanting the apology.

She can say what she wants. Many artists do, including the ones you have above - Sheryl Crow and John Mellencamp. The list goes on and on. With them it seems like a PR stunt and them being insincere. Natalie said she would rather say things like she does even if it means playing to smaller crowds. Looks like she is getting what she asked for as some shows are being cancelled and others are showing lackluster sales - not to mention the re-routing of many of their shows into "Blue State" friendly areas. it just shows that fans like the music but don't want to pay to go to a show and listen to their politics.

Get her to do it w/him. I can't see JSS going for a duet w/Natalie or Gwen somehow. I think he might have some respect for Sheryl though.


IMO, don't ever try to remake your old hits. Bon Jovi tried that (This Left Feels Right) and it tanked big time. He even admits it wasn't a good idea. The fans response was 'don't mess with our memories man'. I think a JSS and Sheryl Crow duet would work, something like what Kid Rock and Sheryl did. :)

My Dream JOURNEY Project is for a Latin rhythm album. Whether or not the Spanish language is used is unimportant.

Dean's suggestion for a duet with a hot chick was suggested three years ago for the Dream JOURNEY Project. Shakira was suggested to sing a duet with Steve Augeri. I've also written a song that I believe has the appropriate cheesey but classy lyrics.

There was some chatter about that which I found very exciting however it never blossomed for whatever reason. Personally, I think a JOURNEY/Neal/Steve/Shakira effort would be something truly exciting and special.

Neal's roots are in Latin rhythms and they actually explored small Latin sets in Florida back in September '03. I was hopeful that they would take up the idea of producing an entire album but it appears that that's not a frontier for them.

A supporter of the idea highlighted some compelling stats:

Thanks, Esther!!!

----------------------------------------------

For those of us who are SUPPORTIVE of FYRE's ideas, further validation for why it makes sense for Journey to consider this idea of a Latin-flavored CD. I compiled these interesting figures from a variety of industry sources:

1. Hispanic-Americans now comprise 13.5% of the US population, numbering approximately 39 million in 2002 and projected to grow to 50 million by 2007.

2. The Hispanic sector is expected to grow at an astonishing 29.1% rate during the next five years, eclipsing African-American (7.9%) and Asian-American (23%) growth rates.

3. Hispanic-American buying power, currently totaling 580 billion dollars, is expected to reach almost one trillion dollars in five years, the result of an unstoppable 59.5% rate of growth.

4. 50 percent of adult urban Hispanic consumers are under 35, compared to 31 percent among the total urban market. This young demographic heavily influences viewing choices and consumption patterns and drives the enormous potential for new media in the urban Hispanic market.

5. 54 percent of urban Hispanic households have children under the age of 18.

6. Currently, the states with the greatest concentration of Hispanic buying power include California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and New Mexico.

7. Of more interest, the fastest growing states in Hispanic buying power are predominantly in the South and include North Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Nevada, Minnesota, Kentucky and Iowa.

Holy shit!!! We need to teach them something about birth control or put a cap on how many kids they can have. Say three, rather than the usual nine. That's a lot of fucking people.

If all it takes is a single idea to be the next Herbie Herbert then I guess I beat you to it by two years!


Fuck off dweeb. Get your sorry ass outta here and go over and worship Fraudgeri. I had this idea about 5 years ago. Can't really implement it when the singer, um, cannot sing.

Yeah, I of all people, would ever thieve an idea from BT. You must be high or stupid or both.

I don't frequent this forum too often as I can't relate to much of what is posted here. When I saw this I HAD to respond.

A year ago? Is that when you found my Dream JOURNEY Project and the same idea that I expressed three years ago?

Well, that's a predictable response from the very person who LIED about a train wreck.

No need to worry, Fyre. Journey isn't about to hire this nutjob. No way! If they do, I'll quit Journey just as fast as a heart attack happens. Remember that, Dean?

Go ahead and call me names, Dean. This fucked up forum is all yours, afterall.

Prove it. Show us a post from five years ago where you suggested anything like this.

Talk about a dweeb...a fucking liar is more like it.

Fyre has been 'promoting' his idea for years now...that's a well known fact, no matter how much you hate it, or him.

None of this matters anyway - cuz it ain't gonna happen.

Nah, it's much easier just to do a "Oh, did I say one year? I meant five you fucking moron!" Idiot.

really? FUCK YOU. Ask my broken bones if I lied about a wreck. Ask the dead involved. I live a different life than most folks. FUCK yourselves.

No, it's Andrew McNieces. However, I have a role here, to be sure. Think about it...Andrew hasn't banned me....for a reason.

I see that the dead have so affected your life. You are a much better person than I remember, Dean.

Are you referring to Pit? Fuck him too. That guy was an asshole. he took me on, the band took off, and he is where now? If you are gonna fight the fight, fight, don't die.


You, and everyone else on BT can kiss my giant white ass.

I own ALL of you.
