[edit] POV

This entire article is filled with so much bad POV and mistakes, it's almost as if his number 1 thirteen year old fan wrote it for a school report or something. Most of this needs to be removed or just delete the whole damn thing until someone can write an actual one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.194.245.70 (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] notability

Notability has been established....why is the note still there? 24.245.11.103 03:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

How? I don't see any citations. Please show me. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 03:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I do like Seconhand Serenade, and am positive they are notable, but I'm gonna let someone else tackle this one. Notability can be easily established, but I'm working on other articles. Rather than tagging it non-notable why don't you do a google search and add citations yourself. There are external links on the page that I think satisfy notability guidelines. Anyways, I'll see if I can't get around to helping out this article. War wizard90 22:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I believe that the current links sufficiently establish notability. --Epeefleche 23:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] secondhandserenade.net link

The link I provided was to a lyrics page on a fan site that I own. Yes, there are ads on that page, but I feel it adds value to those who might be interested in Secondhand Serenade's lyrics. Do you not feel that content is a contribution? Darwinstudios 16:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Note that Wikipedia is a resource of encyclopedic information, and is not a directory of links. Contributions should be primarily focused on developing the encyclopedic content of the project. Contributions of mostly links to outside content is often scrutinized as potential spamming behavior. Even if there were no advertisements, due to the potential conflict of interest, the links should still be vetted by more neutral and independent parties per the external links guidelines.
It should also be noted that commercial song lyrics are usually copyrighted, and lyrics rights holders have been known to take actions against websites to protect their copyright. It's a bit of a no-no on Wikipedia to link to sites for the main purpose of distributing copyrighted content without some substantive indication of permission from the copyright holder, as it could be considered contributory infringement, not unlike linking to a BitTorrent file, or more topically, a YouTube video.

[edit] emo?

who keeps on removing emo from the genre? its says its are emo on the offcial myspace site and every other site i've seen and the fans on youtube seem to think its emo. 88.97.6.98

You think people on youtube have any idea what they're talking about??? God i was just looking at a Simple Plan song with a group of 5 talking about how they cut themselves and want to die ....? He might be 'emo' .. to some, but considering he's a 30? something year old and his songs are aimed at his wife... i'd doubt you could put him in that category. allmusic describes him as the "sensitive-guy-with-acoustic end of emo". I don't see why everyone wants to class every slightly emotional band/artist into this emo 'genre'. kiac (talk) 00:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

i see your point that emo is the most over used term in existance, but it does say emo on his myspace site which i beleve he is or was involved in running. when he had his influeces on his myspace page he had Jimmy Eat World,The Get Up Kids and I think he might have had Sunny Day Real Estate all of these where part of the second wave of emo. also his age has nothing to do with what genre of music he plays.88.97.6.98 (talk) 20:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Emo = Emotional; I love his songs and I defend him on every part but he sings about his emotions. He's like a sort of easy emo, not talking about how life sucks but talking about his feelings and how life has its ups and downs and how love is more than an emotion. Not emo unless you call every single love song out there emo, its just a love song HIS way. 64.160.205.184 (talk) 01:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] He's Gay Right?

I mean, have you heard this music? Seriously.

Wow. . . that's so unprofessional, he sings to his wife. Have you seen the videos? 64.160.205.184 (talk) 01:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Uhm...no. If you would visit his myspace and read his "About Me" section, you would see that he has a wife. He says that she is inspiration to a lot of his music.--UnAWARE 16:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

But who is his wife? Who's he married to?
