what do i think of Sara?

a lot of people have been asking me, personally, what i think of Sara. and i know this is a Clique Girlz fansite, but it's also a blog. so i have the right to express my opinion on my blog.

so, i have nothing against Sara as a person. and from the video i posted yesterday, ( remember it's only one video and the quality isn't that great, so we shouldn't form our opinion off this video alone ) i think she fits in pretty good. she looked natural on stage with them and had pretty good stage presence. if you didn't know any better, i think it's safe to say you wouldn't know she is new.

sound wise, i think that her voice goes with Paris and Destinee's voices okay; it doesn't sound great. Ariel, Destinee, and Paris together in one group was a once in a lifetime chance. it's not everyday that you find three young girls that have such amazing, big, powerful voices; especially together in one town. so trying to find someone to fill that void, especially in such little time, is not going to be easy. i think for the time they had, they did an okay job. i don't know, maybe another girl who auditioned sounded better. we'll never know. Sara is the girl they picked.

i think the one problem i have with Sara is that they were looking for someone to fill in the third, empty spot in the band; NOT to replace Ariel. so why then are they trying to literally replace Ariel? i really hope they haven't started recording the album yet, because in my opinion, they have a lot of work to do. Sara's voice is in no way compatible to Ariel's. she shouldn't be singing Ariel's parts in their songs just because Ariel is no longer there to sing them. not if she cannot sing them properly. what i feel they need to do is to rearrange the vocals. either lower the notes so that she can reach them properly, or redistribute the vocals. if Paris or Destinee can reach notes that Ariel originally sang, then let them take that part. give Sara a different part, a part that suits her vocal range better. by letting her sing Ariel's parts, it's making her sound like a terrible singer when really the vocals just aren't suited for her.

as i said yesterday, i realize that Sara hasn't had much time to practice with Destinee and Paris, but at the same time she has been singing for quite some time now. so while her singing WITH the girls may be off and not exactly down pact yet, her singing in general should be somewhat up to speed. if it's not, i feel they should have picked someone with more experience. who knows, maybe Sara was the one with the most musical experience. if that's the case, then they made the right decision.

another thing ( less important than the singing ) that goes along with what i was saying about replacing Ariel is Sara's color and symbol. the purple heart was Ariel's signature symbol. from what the girls have said, we know that the symbols representing them as individuals; Paris the princess, Destinee the rocker, and Ariel the sweetheart. are we believe that Sara's personality is the same as Ariel's just because she's taking her spot in the band? the purple heart represented Ariel Moore, not Sara Diamond. i think Sara should have her own symbol and color, not just take Ariel's. NJRinglord on youtube posted a comment on my youtube channel the other day with a good idea, Sara should have a red diamond; red being her favorite color and the diamond obviously because of her last name. at least this way, she'll have her own identity, not a stolen one, and they'll still be honoring Ariel.

so that's my opinion. if you have something to say post a comment, but please respect my opinion and i will respect yours. and congratulations to anyone who actually read all of that, you officially have one heck of an attention span :]
