Readers Respond (Part II):

I and millions of others do not appreciate your attitude toward Hanson's work.It is definitely not evil in anyway.The music they write is upbeat,inspirational,soothing,calming,fun,and happy.In no way is anybody being hurt by this music.You are entitled to your own opinions, but that in itself is all.You have no right to put down a few teenagers for becoming successful the way you are expressing your hatred for them. And if you are tired of hearing their music, which is not played as often anymore because it was just brand new then, turn off the radio and watch tv or read a book, something I'll bet you have never thought of doing before.I believe you're actions to be very childish and immature indeed, and frankly, I'm tired of hearing your whiny toddlerish bitching, moaning, and whiny comlaining. So keep your comments and thoughts between you and your immature accomplices and leave Hanson and their music alone because I dont want to hear it anymore.

hey! i loooooove your homepage, it rox. i HATE hanson and i think they should be banned from mtv. yeah.i don't particularly(sp?) care for the spice girls either, you have good taste... wait, let me test that>>> do you like sublime... i LOVE sublime, moree than life itself! eRiN

First of all you leave Taylors voice out of this because he has a great voice. Second you probalbly put up this page because you are jelouse of them. They are the best thing that happen to music. Also stop dissing them because they have'nt done anything to you and you what I hope they play MMMBop 100 times on the radio each day. I can not amagine who you can have no hearth they are giving all their efforts to be on the hit lists and I hope that they get to very top because they deserve it OK also I would advice you to shut down you'r wedsite because there are alot of people here who really hate it and for example ME and MY FAMILY because they think HANSON RULE!

hanson rocks they kick ass they should be number won in the top fortiy music they have on radio statshion they have ho does not lke there song must be dumb it is cool.

All I hafta say is, if there are discussions on whether or not the lead singer is a guy or a girl, there must be something wrong with the group. Maybe when he hits puberty we will be able to listen to their music in peace and joy. Or maybe not.

Well, I hate Hanson. And just becuase you people LIKE Hanson doesn't mean you have to go around making those horrid little pages w/ all those horrid little sound clips and AAAHHHH!! So what if Hanson is cute! They are immature little brats!!!

Please put this on your page-
First, everything that you wrote is true! MMMbop is definetly overplayed!! Second, Hanson has very little musical talent, if any. There are so many musicians out there that have to beg for money, and they are ALL better then Hanson by far! Just beasue the Hanson family is rich and they can by there way to the top, dosn't mean they are any good. And you say its uplifting and joyful, so what!! There are millions apon millions of uplifting songs out there, they involve more then 3 chords and 1 drum line. We have to stop this insanity! Face it! They are bad! They have NO talent! Right now, in 4 minute I could write a song as good as mmmbop. But I dont believe in that kind of sinseless music. Now I know this is only my opinion, and everyone else I know, and I am not trying to speak for anyone else!

ROMeO a.t.
P.S.-I still think there girls

HI, I HAPPEN TO GO THROUGH YOU'R WEBSITE AND THAT IS SO MEAN BECAUSE I THINK THEY REALLY PLAY GOOD AND ARE CUTE ALL TOGETHER. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT )))))))))STOP((((((((( DISING THE HANSONS IT NOT THERE FAULT THEY ARE SO GOOD AND THEY ARE POPULAR. AND THE POINT IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO YOU FOR YOU TO BE SO RUSE TO THEM.

Hanson is INCREDIBLE !! They can play that song 24/7 and i still wouldn't being hearing it enuf, so get over it !!

well if you knew that it played 3 times in 19 hours you seriously must have no life, you are prbably really jealous too because your "magazine" just sucks and Hanson is so succesful and everyone likes them. They do play mmm...bop a lot but they don't over play the song like they do "wannabe" and most people want to hear mmm...bop. and if u don't like the song, no one is making you listen to it. Maybe Hanson isn't the best group there ever was but you can not say that they don't have talent. They are very talented for being so young. They also do not copy Silverchair, The way the dress is very popular look these days, where i live almost everyone dresses like that. And i think they all have very nice hair, and they are also very HOT especially Tay. And they all have very great personalitys too. You don't hear me saying that all the music you listen or a certain band sucks or they sound like shit. JUST LAY OFF HANSON, THEY ARE A GREAT BAND!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you are an incredibly horrible human being. Hanson Rules! OK maybe you don't like them but the rest of the world does so shut up! At least Hanson doesn't scare people with their music. Who do you listen to, heavy metal death bands? Don't go knock'n them just because they are the best band in the world and they are played alot. I like MMMbop* , and I want to hear it alot. You have no right to critisize them, you are not perfect ( cause you don't like 'em ). And for your information, Taylor's voice cracked on the Jenny McCarthy Show. This is important because on the show he said he was 13. His b-day is 3/ 14/ 83 , so now hes 14. This means the Jenny McCarthy show was recorded 3 months ago. If his voice craked then, it's been 3 months and it is done by now. You better correct your web page!!!! And there is no reason to stop the Spice Girls!!!!

DON'T MESS WITH HANSON!!!!!!

Hey
Where the hell do you get off talking all this crap about the amazingly talented Hanson? Y'know, there's a reason why MMMbop is played so much - it's good music. It's great to hear a band that can actually sing, write fantastic lyrics and play instruments themselves. They deserve all the fame, fortune etc. they get. They work hard. Spice Girls have no talent, they can't sing, dance, play instruments, yet they're praised for nothing. Better late than never in trying to stop the most marketed and untalented group ever - The Spice Girls. I suggest you stop all this nonsense about Hanson being irritating and get started on those girls who had their personalities chosen for them. The boys are fighting back and they're winning. I think a lot more people like Hanson than those who hate The Spice Girls. So, you know what you have to do.....

What's wrong with hanson?? I mean, it is kinda' 70's sounding, but it's good! You shouldn't go around dissin' people like that!

i think mmbop is the coolest band around there haircuts are not bad and niether are there voices. what do you think is so irratating about this song? anyways you probbly haven't even heard it yet.

I personally have never heard this song. But in your magazine you should NOT call them evil by any means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think your article is harsh and not neaded! I am a HUGE HANSON fan and i think you are totally wrong. The three Hanson brothers are talented, cute, and successful. when i looked for hanson web sites by search on AOL i saw your article and i am OFFENDED! please stop this talk and as the saying goes: "IF YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING NICE, DONT SAY IT AT ALL!!" MISSY STURTEVANT

I am so sick of hearing "Don't dis Hanson! They rock!" Good Lord, they suck!! I totally agree with your view of Hanson-- maybe they'll be cool when Taylor's voice changes.. then again, maybe not.

I think Hanson is a really great band. They have inspired me so much, ever since I've heard their songs it's made me want to do a lot more with my life, I am currently learning to play the drums, and that's a hell of a lot better than doing drugs and getting introuble. And I wonder what you look like, you can't go judging others if you don't know them, a lot of songs suck and radio stations, M tv, V-H1 etc... always over play songs, so stop your whining and deal with it!

Tell me if this guy seems jealous to you? They are good guys. Unlike you people who like to pray on other peoples blood and spit it back at them.

Hello! What is the big deal if the radio played mmmbop 3 times? In 3 hours the radio played one of LL Cooljs songs 3 times. Puhleez! The Freshman by Verve Pipe is played at least twice every hour. I like mmmbop. I can admit that it could get very tiring after hearing it a million times, which I haven't. In fact, only yesterday did I hear it on the radio for the first time. You are to quick to judge things.

I have no doubt that your feelings about Hanson are strong and I agree that opinions (all) should be heard. I get this certain sense that you are not particularly fond of these three kids. However, I must say that you overall treatment of them is downright evil, not to mention petty. Everytime a new group introduces themselves to the spotlight, regardless of age, there is always that hope within them that they will be accepted by their audiences. Sometimes, you get a group, such as Hanson, who totally delight a good 99.99999999999% of their audiences. In every case of this, there is a rapid excitement that occurs among the public, and some people don't know how to deal with it. These guys are extremely talented and should be rewarded for their hard work. As Barbara Streisand said "Don't rain on my (their) parade!". If you don't like the song on the radio get up and turn the dial. Gives us a break and Hanson as well. There is little difference in the refrain "MMMBop" as in the refrain "Shoop Shoop" by Whitney Houston. Let's try to be a little nicer, huh?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Whatever! Find something else to complain about!! Hanson is cool. If they suck so much, then how come MMMbop is the number one single song in the nation? Huh? People like you make me sick. What assholes to go around and critisize kids! And Taylors voice rox.

-# 1 Hanson fan

At least I agree with you to some extent on the subject of this band that you hate which I will not name but denote the letters of their name as such: "******". When some people say: "I don't ever get tired of listening to them, I have seen their video a million times," it just demonstrates that they are obsessive, and when they write cruel slogans to you for being annoyed with cathchy tunes, it means that someone's life is in Danger ( so watch out )! Personally, if you want to condemn their music openly, I think you should, because a) Catchy childish slogans are not music by any definition, and b) Silly gibberish is not an advancement of the English language, nor is it of any language for that matter. Also: I resent when people call them teen idols, because they do not deserve that stature. Buddy Holly in his day deserved that stature, but not "******". Thank you. Note: (*) denotes H, etc.

That little weiner's voice changed already? Sucks to be him. Imagine going through life with a little girl voice. I bet he has little girl legs too (not to mention other little girl things).

Hanson Hater!!!

You kick ass for saying the truth of the American People. These little so-called "Cailfornia" Boys :(they're really from Oklahoma) are really big sissies. I do disagree with you on one thing though. It is an incredibly major insult ot Silverchair. Silverchair rules and Hanson has no right to be classified on the same level. Hanson's lead singer is 13 years old, when he hits puberty (if he hits puberty) their music will suck even more. This is truly a one hit wonder band. Emphasis on the word wonder.

If yu don't like Hanson, you should get a life!Hanson is by far the coolest band around!!!In my scholl their are over 800 kids,at least 700 luv Hanson!!!If you thinka few messly kids are going toconvience 700 hundred kids to stop liking Hanson then I have one question to ask you:What world are you living in????

~Amanda

Well...just to make you mad..here is part of the song one more time!!
MMM bop, ba duba dop
ba du bop, ba duba dop
ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

ENJOY!!

The Hanson fad has quickly become the most gut-renching, spine-chilling, marrow-chringing, crap since 'New Kids on the Blocks' , in my opinion. The so called adolesants, who , by-the-way have not a pimple on their faces, sing the most irritating songs. Do all of you knoe that they have over 10 songs out on their CD?!? I mean, how many songs can guys sing about flowers and birds without thier sexuality being questioned, nevermind that the singer sings an octive or two higher than what normal children his age sing. It's amazing to me that still so many people like that **** even now at the ending of MAY!!! I'll be glad when their two weeks are up. Maybe if they screamed and played death metal, and not the cutsie little keyboard they might last a while longer.

EXCUSE ME?!?!?

Who do you think you are going off and saying things like that? What is your problem? Why must you go and critisise the BEST band in the WORLD because you have something to say and you must go and spread it around the WWW? You know that you're going to get many remarks on this! According to me and what everyone else I see has wrote, you must be some dork who has no friends and needs attention. So you think you'll get attention like this? You're just going to get more people to hate you! I also see you have no life but to critisise the most AWSOME band!!!! If you don't like Hanson, then TOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!! Because they are going to make it BIG! Whether you like it or not!

DID YOU JUST SAY THAT HANSON SUCKS? Well, I don't mean to bust your bubble, but Hanson is the best band since...since...NO ONE! Like everyone else said, MMMBop is not the only song! DUH! Now, You also said you heard the song 3 times in 19 hours, correct? Well WHOOPY! That isn't even close to how many times I listen to it!!! I'm sorry if I have upset you in any type of sorry way, but I KNOW all the Hanson fans agree with me! Because I agree with everything they said! ALSO, Hanson's songs make since, unlike all the other stupid songs of the 90's. And if YOU think you can stop them, then you have another thing coming!!! Have a nice day.:-)

I just saw your page, and I've got to say--I laughed the entire time I was reading it! I couldn't have said it better myself. And consider yourself lucky that you only heard it 3 times in 19 hours. On the radio here, it can easily be found at any given time on at LEAST two stations. And what's sad is that even the alternative/rock stations are playing them too! I can be driving down the road jammin' to Bush, Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana on the radio and then the next thing I know, here comes that "MMMBop!" The first couple of times I heard it, I thought it was kinda cute. But GEEZ come off it! It ain't that great! Don't get me wrong. I ain't insulting the kids themselves. They've probably got a life-long career in front of them now, so they're set for life. They're very talented young people -- more power to them. I AM, however, insulting the station managers who allow this song to be beat into the ground the way it is.

Keep the great articles coming!
