Aaron Carter - (Have Some Fun) With The Funk

This is the Aaron Carter I will always remember. I will celebrate and focus on his success and nothing else.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I have absolutely no desire to see any statements from any of the boys. Zero. I don't want them to say anything, i dont want them to go online. I know whatever they say won't properly express their feelings, i dont want them to sit down and try to find the most "public friendly" words to say goodbye to liam and i dont want the public to compare what any of them says, who spoke up first, who was the most genuine. I hope they can rest, work through their emotions and be happy, as much as they can be

people need to leave maya henry alone. she had every right as a victim to be mad and speak up about the abuse she endured at just 18/19 years old. if your first instinct in the wake of finding out that liam died is to bombard her with vitriolic comments on instagram, blaming her for any of this, you’re sick. none of this is her fault and you all need to do better.

some of 1D's best songs exist because of liam payne, by the way. liam and louis were the dream team. they all wrote some good songs, but man. every time liam and louis joined up together, it ended up being a fucking banger. better than words. end of the day. fireproof. there are so many, so many strong songs that took 1D from being just a silly little "girl band" (which is what they always were and always will be to us, to me) to being something special, something that pierced through the industry whether people liked it or not. that was my band. they were my boys. i will miss liam for the rest of my life, and i'm not exaggerating that. not only because of who he was in the band, not only because of who he could have been once he held himself accountable enough to grow. i will miss his music, his talent. his voice. god. his voice. i'll just miss him. i miss him already.

The worst part about Liam Payne dying is that people are posting about “the switch up is crazy”

Like no. He was an abuser and made horrible decisions, but nobody wanted him to die. He was getting hate for an INCREDIBLY valid reason, but we all recognized that he needed mental and physical help. He needed to go to rehab. He needed to get away from drugs and alcohol and improve upon himself away from the public. No one wanted him to die.

We’re not mourning the life of an abuser, we are mourning the part of him that we adored and looked up to for a massive part of our childhood/ teenage years. He was a huge part of how I was introduced to my love of music. And yes, he did horrible things and made horrible decisions and over the last few years has been anything but admirable, but none of us wanted this.

Maya didn’t want this. And everyone saying that it’s her fault can actually go burn in hell. She likely already blames herself enough. She likely already wishes she hadn’t spoken up about it out of the guilt that she likely feels. You guys commenting all over the socials about how this is her fault and “are you happy now?” Are actually horrible people.

A 7 year old boy just lost his father. A woman just lost her long term boyfriend. Two parents just lost their son. Several young children just lost their uncle. Show some fucking respect. Joking about it and hating on people who had nothing to do with what happened is not doing anything but twist the knife for the people who this has ACTUALLY effected.

The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story

This is one intriguingly expository documentary exploring Lou’s character and covering his shadiness and ephebophilic perversion (abnormal sexual interest in teen boys) behind the scenes. Aaron doesn’t add to their credibility when he wasn’t a witness to his inappropriateness, which explains the effect that a charming-looking person can have on an individual to manipulate the situation (to his advantage) in getting others to think otherwise. There’s no excusing such horrendous acts of the detrimental impact they have on others.

I really haven’t been keeping up with all the shit going on with Aaron Carter lately but damn if that dude wasn’t just everywhere while I was growing up. You could always count on him to have a track on damn near every single thing you would be watching. That Liberty’s Kids intro went hard. To hear the news is just really unfortunate.

taylor switching invisible string to the 1 in the last few shows is suddenly making a lot of sense…
