“There was never any room for me to experiment creatively in the band,” he told the title for its December/January issue. “If I would sing a hook or a verse slightly R&B, or slightly myself, it would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight version that was pop, generic as f***, so they could use that version. Whenever I would suggest something, it was like it didn’t fit us. There was just a general conception that the management already had of what they want for the band, and I just wasn’t convinced with what we were selling. I wasn’t 100 percent behind the music. It wasn’t me. It was music that was already given to us, and we were told this is what is going to sell to these people. As much as we were the biggest, most famous boy band in the world, it felt weird. We were told to be happy about something that we weren’t happy about.”

It's like working for McDonald's and wondering why they don't want your chef's input on the Big Mac.

I hope he invested all that money he made well, because I have a feeling he will be relying on it for the rest of his life.

lol at him trying to gain sympathy from this.

They all knew what they were getting into and they sure enjoyed the benefits long enough. Reminds me of Gaga trying to save herself by claiming she'd go right back to singing in bars if she ever had to change herself a few weeks after she blamed her manager for suffocating her artistically.

But the gays and teenage girls won't think that far, I guess, so good for him.

REALITY

Well, I suppose it's good that he left then; now he can focus on what he wants to do.

It's not like anyone above the age of 12 thought they wrote their own stuff.

Not like anyone would care at all :toofunny: after all, there are very small chances that a member (or more) would write songs for their group, nowadays, at least the popular ones
