Elleanore has 'kicked out' Joyce (the singer), it's not sure yet who continues with the profile, and I'm thinking about taking back my parts for now. What do you think?

Joyce has been the only one I have ever seen associated with the profile, so for now I have decided to drop back to just the one part and see what happens. If someone else in Elleanore picks up the profile and becomes active and the sound continues in a similar vein then they will get the parts back that I took out once the situation settles. If they don't become active at all, it's likely they'll lose my last part too. You could say I am hedging my bets to give them the opportunity to prove they are committed to Sellaband and it wasn't all just Joyce, but I didn't feel I could stay at the 20 parts I had given the uncertainty involved. I will also be looking out for Joyce, to see if she gets a profile with a new project going.

Hey!
I feel really terrible to all of our believers. I wished we could make a great cd for all off them and wouldn't have to let them down. I've allready contacted a few people to keep their eyes open for possible opportunaties. This is not gonna stop me from fighting for my dream. I know I have the ambition and motivation to be a great singer in a great band. I wish elleanore lost of succes with finding a new singer. They are nice people, this is their choice and we just have to exept it. I've learned a lot in the past 4,5 years and gonna start a new project with everything I've learned and have done.
Thank you for keep believing in me, I will not let you down! I'LL BE BACK!!!:-P
Love, Joyce

For me Elleanore@Sellaband was basically Joyce, but the other band members are good musicians so maybe they come back with a good band and then I might put some parts back. Also when Joyce comes back with a good band I will probably put parts back in. Right now I've retreated. Sad to see a band blow up who is on the first page

Dear Joyce, It is always hard when bands break up. It has happened to me so many times - and it is always painful. All that hard work over 4.5 years. It can be harder than breaking up with a partner. That is why I have been so careful to keep such control on my band "Vegas Dragons". I have learnt from my previous mistakes. As far as I am concerned YOU are Elleanore as much as Jake is Cubworld and I am Vegas Dragons! This is like Axl Rose leaving Guns n Roses or Mick Jagger leaving Rolling Stones.... I feel very sorry for you and though I don't know all the cirumstances, (only you guys do) but I think the band has treated you poorly on this. The music of the group is superb. The guitar work is brilliant and everything about it is great....but it is your FANTASTIC FANTASTIC VOICE that makes it super. You are an inspiration to me and YOU MUST keep your dreams alive. I would VERY MUCH like you to do a song with me on the Sellaband Vegas Dragons CD, when we get there. This is a 100% most serious offer. You have put so much hard work into this site and it is so painful to watch all your hard work come undone. You are fantastic. Keep the faith, my friend! Brian ps. I love the idea of you joining Dandelium. That would be a Sellaband SUPER GROUP and you would most definitely be at 50K this year!!!!!! Shame Erik is in Spain... can he move to the Netherlands???

wow! how shocking! Joyce, all I can say is that things happen for a reason. Maybe this is your opportunity to find yourself artistically and create your own music. I look forward to seeing your own 'Joyce' profile You have an amazing voice Lily

elleanore with joyce has been in my selection of the first 10 parts I've invested in SAB (one was invested in them). They aren't together anymore, so I removed my part in them, so I can believe in a new artist. Both have to proof that and how they continue. Whereby Joyce's voice has a little advantage Anyway, I still don't get it, how it could be possible, that one part of the band has been "... thinkig about it for a long time ..." and one person of the band didn't notice...

My 2c ...
The Elleanore Artist Profile is the band's Profile, so Joyce can't really use it for herself or her next band which is unlikely to also be called Elleanore.
She should really hand control of that Profile to someone in the band and start a new one for herself or her next band when she's worked out what she's going to do.

Hey!
I don't think it's fair to me if I hand or the control to elleanore. I was the only person in the band who putted energy and time in the sellaband profile. Or in any Pr on the internet. I've worked very hard to get elleanore where they are now. I think the most fairest thing to do it delete this elleanore profile and both start over. They do make good music so now it's much easier for them to find believers. I hope they will find a suited singer soon. And do not let down the elleanore believers in the future, but that's not in my hand anymore.
Love, Joyce

What happens with the Sellaband cd-2 and Elleanore? Does it stay the same, or does T-ka step in?

btw how can they say they had issues with your live performance, when Pat Sticks and Ed the Cheesehead (?) have both seen you live, and give glowing reviews? It doesn't take 4 years to realise if someone is good live or not. Sounds strange.... and unfair, if that's the reason.
I feel really bad for you Joyce, as you have really worked hard for Elleanore. Like they say on your page... you ARE Elleanore in their eyes. I`m sure that the next bunch of musicians you gather around you will take you onto even stronger things. Ppl are right, things happen for a reason. Whatever was going on with Elleanore, at least you'll be happy to leave the bad things behind and move on with people who are in the same sphere/space as you.

Joyce you can make it alone to a certian degree. I stand behind you and think doing some work with Brian of Vages Dragons would be good. just my 2 cents

And do not let down the elleanore believers in the future, but that's not in my hand anymore. Love, Joyce Hi Joyce, I tend to agree with you in general but you obviously can't keep the Elleanore SAB Profile for your own use as, regrettably, you are no longer in the band. Therefore you have to start a new Profile for your next project, be it a solo project or another band. This leaves us the thorny problem of what to do with the Elleanore profile. I can see how it must feel unfair that they end up reaping the benefits of your hard work, but as the band will likely continue, logically they should keep the profile. What they do with it once you hand it over is up to them. I can see how it might be a tough decision, but it seem the right thing to do, at least to me. You can't really hang on to it - unless you're so angry at them you wish to get some payback for the split, or the way they handled the split. The problem is that such anger has a way of eating at you, whereas calmly handing over the control of the profile and walking away with your head held high will make you, rightly, feel like a million dollars! My advice, Hand the profile over, Smile and Look Big! Then come back with your next project and a ready made SAB-community who already know you. That's going to really kick-start your next foray into the World of Sellaband. All the best and I'm sure the SAB community will be behind you whatever you decide. UBG
