Here it is:

Hanson is more than a band. Their music isn't just a tune, its an experience. Everything that has happened in their short lives is in their music. Thats what sets these guys a part from all the other artists in all those teenybopper mags. Hanson has wanted this all their lives, and they paid their dues. They took the music and dance lessons, they practiced endlessly, they write their own music and play their own instruments, and they worked harder than most people ever do. Thats why Hanson will remembered for years to come, and will have the success that awaits them. Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, N Sync, are all quite popular, but they are manufactured. They were created by someone and have conformed to what the record companies wanted. But Hanson was Hanson always. They didn't change to get the deal. They just kept working. The Hanson we hear on Snowed In is the same Hanson we hear on Boomerang.

Those other bands I mentioned will not be remembered in the years to come because they don't stick out. They will go down with the likes of New Kids on the Block and Milli Vanilli. But Hanson can right right now be put in the same catagory as the Jackson 5, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and the Who. The started out young but worked hard and will always be remembered as legends. Years from now people will remember MMMBop the same way we now remember ABC. Yes Hanson will one day loose the limelight of the youth and another band will become "the next big thing" but Hanson themselves have said that they will always do music in one way or another, and as long as we true Hanson fans want their music, they will continue to make it.

So, have no fear Hansonites, Hanson will be around for years to come. And I bet in another fifty years we will all be lining up for Hansons 50th anniversary concert tour!!!

Thats just my opinion and you can respond if you want to, i accept any critisism. Rob Goyette
