Response to Bree: I really like Hot Chelle Rae. I just recently started listening to them and I feel like the kind of became a big success really quickly. I also would definitely agree that their album is upbeat rather than sad and lonely sounding. The band itself mostly seems to target teenagers as an audience so their songs tend to relate to the experiences most teens go through which is probably why they became so successful. I agree with the bands you found to compare to Hot Chelle Rae such as The Downtown Fiction and One Direction. I feel like Hot Chelle Rae could also be compared to bands like Boys Like Girls. The song “Whatever” does have some of the more influential lyrics like you mentioned. I also liked the lyrics: “ Falling stars don’t crash through your window/ If you want it, go get it, it’s meant to be chased/ All your scars won’t heal till you let go/ You’re perfectly worth it, forget your mistakes” from the song “Forever Unstoppable.” I would agree with the critics opinion as well because Hot Chelle Rae is an overall positive band that has the talent that is necessary to make an impact on their listeners. I agree that Hot Chelle Rae is worth your time especially for those who are fans of pop-rock music that has a catchy beat.
