Personally I think it would be best to drop the profile and let it all start new, but I can understand if the band wants to keep the profile. In the end it's up to the believers to pull out their parts or not, so they might lose a lot of parts (I have pulled all of my parts already). I'm ready to support a new band with Joyce as the singer and I might invest again in Elleanore if they come out with a good band. Right now I just wait and see. I've seen such breakups before (you may remember After Forever kicking out Mark who went to form Epica) and it's hard to get a clear picture and I don't want to be forced to take sides.

You are right UBG, I know you are right. And I know I have to do that how hard it seems. I really hope elleanore is not going to let you down. As I was saying i do not want to create a battle between elleanore and me.
You are right that I'm angry but i do not have feelings of any revenge. This is their disision. In the end it will probably work out for the best for the both of us. I'm going to have a good talk with one of the members and I do hope we can work it out, and be friends again in the end. I still can not accept the way it went and the reasons why, we could have talked about it and I think that's really a shame. I love sellaband and I really do not want to hurt the believer or push them to chose, 'caus we both deserve a good second chance. Elleanore are great musicians with good ideas, hopefully it will work out for the both of us.
Love, Joyce

I've just handed over the profile to elleanore, It's up to them and the believers what will happen with it. This is my message to all of te believers: From now on I will no longer be on this profile, you can find me at: www.sellaband.com/believer/joyce-dijkgraafAfter a few days of thinking I know it's for the best if I leave the elleanore profile as the artist, 'caus i'm not. After doing this I think it's much easier to put this beside me. I really do not want to create a battle between elleanore and me, we both have made mistakes and both deserve a new/ second chance. I hope elleanore will not let the believers down. I hope they will find a good singer soon so they can still convince you all of their great music. I wish elleanore good luck. Hopefully you all have two great artists on sellaband. Love, Joyce www.sellaband.com/believer/joyce-dijkgraaf

Maybe this is for the best indeed. Its a hard but brave and good disision. You know your strenght and we know you WILL make it! We believe in you Joyce, even you are a believer now. (Feels a bit weird as a artisist to believe in a believer).

Hugs are always welcome from friends who care. That nice warm feeling isn't there yet, but that needs time Time heals all wounds they say.
This weekend I'm probalbly gonna talk to Jan (guitarist). After 4,5 years hard working it would be a shame to just throw that friendship away.
Love, Joyce

K I know this is late coming but I think you should have kept the profile and just changed the name to Joyce. The band will probably change names and all kinds of stuff before they are ready to go again. You however could record a couple of vocals and have your profile. If people didnt want to believe in that they could have taken back their parts. You are the one that was so involved in everything it jus really dosnt seem fair.
You know though I agree with the positive posts after everything was said and done. I think this could be great for you:_) you will find the peace and write a few good songs from this and then you will rise above. I love you picture bythe way. So sorry this had to happen.

K I know this is late coming but I think you should have kept the profile and just changed the name to Joyce. Hmmm. Well, if it's anything like a Believer Profile (and I'd bet it is!), then it might well say "Joyce" on the web page, but the URL will still say elleanore and that's just baggage you don't need. Notice the page now says "Elleanore without Joyce" but the URL is still www.sellaband.com/elleanore/Nope, you did the right thing handing it over to the band, who can presumably now login and do their own stuff, right? ... and as Believers in this split it really isn't our place to take sides. Best of luck to both Elleanore and Joyce on their separate paths and it would indeed be a shame to lose 4 or 5 year friendships, which is another reason why you are right to hand access to the profile over to the band. I'd go so far as to help them by showing them what to do etc, but perhaps that's being more helpful than is warrented so soon after the break! It would perhaps be the ultimate olive branch though and maybe help cement those friendships through these troubled times. Right .... now let's have a crack at Palestine and Isreal ... OI! You Palestinians and Isrealies - yes YOU! STOP FIGHTING! OK ... Who's next ;D UBG

When I broke up with my girlfriend people told me "things happen for a reason." I actually wanted to punch my cousin when he said that to me... but he was right! Things do happen for a reason. If I have learnt anything in this life, it is that a break up of any kind is never easy and if it can be done in a dignified and professional manner, it will be much easier for everyone involved.

Actualy it's quit a relief handing over the sellaband account. One thing for sure I can look forward. It's really great to see all the believers feel with me like this. Elleanore and I both had our wrongs and rights, it was just to late to talk about it. I only hoped we had've done that, probably we would have gotten to the agreement a coopetation wasn't possible anymore, so we could all go back home with a feeling of relief.
but it's all gonna be fine, I'm a very forgiving person and really teriible in staying mad at people who I really like.
Love, Joyce

I saw her first ;D [Looks over shoulder ... it's OK, wife not home yet! grins BWUHAHAHAHAhahahahahaaaarrrrrrrrr] UBG Now I know it mentions in the Tribune that Sellaband is short of women, but I didn't realise you were THAT desperate UBG! ;D I'm watching Elleanore slide back onto page 3 at the moment, and it's a very sad day for me. Here's hoping both they and Joyce come back with something great.

Unless the band is going to change the band name Elleanore, I suggest they keep using the account and when Joyce has a new band they should mention it at the top of the info tab in their profile and link to her new band profile and send out a message to all their Believers that Joyce is back as an artist, so that Elleanore Believers can easily find her when the time comes. That way both don't have to start from scratch to find Believers.
Joyce I also suggest that you save the Elleanore profile page now on your computer (the sooner the better), so that you know who your Believers were in case many decide to leave Elleanore. That way you will know which Believers to send a message that you are back when that day comes. Good luck!

Hey my Friends and Believers!
I just wanna thank you all for all the support and compassion of the last few days! Together with my believers I'm strong. You give me lots of energy to move on and keep singing. I'm working on some new songs on school with my schoolmates to let you hear some new things I'm working on. The first song is going to be great. A beautiful paino song I believe in! When it's finished you'll be the first to know!
If you would like to be informed about my progress in music etc. please sent me an email. You can contact me at joycedijkgraaf@orange.nl
I'm working on my new website, hopefuly it will be online at the end of next week. Enjoy the beautiful days ahead!
Love, Joyce
