Ilona's Q&A #2

This is a continuation of my last blog post.

Has R5's music gone downhill?
--I think their music is going uphill. As they grow, their musical talent is growing with them.

Do you think they are hiding something?
--I don't really think they are hiding anything at the moment. 4/5 of them are taken and they seem very happy with their relationships.

What is you favorite color?
--I like the color blue because its cool and can be pretty when its really light and when its really dark.

Who is your favorite member of R5?
-- My favorite member is Riker because he is dorky and funny when he isn't trying to be.

Who is your favorite member of Fall Out Boy?
--I don't really have a favorite.. They are all very talented and committed to their music, so I cant really choose one favorite member.

What is your favorite Panic! At The Disco song?
--I cant choose one favorite, but some of my most favorite are I Write Sins Not Tragedies, This Is Gospel and Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time.

Ilona's Q&A

I have asked some of my friends to ask questions about my blog, about me and other topics of their choice.

What do you think about R5's new music?

--I like most of R5's new music, but some of their songs from the new album aren't the type of songs I usually listen to. Their newer songs are more about love, while their older ones are more about having fun.

Do you think they've improved as a band?

--They are always improving. In my eyes they are always growing and improving, but they aren't getting nominated for any awards. I understand that they love touring and meeting fans, but sometimes its good to show off awards and nominations.

How do their concerts start off?

--The concerts usually start with some other band opening the show and getting the crowd pumped and then Ryland gets the crowd even more excited. After Ryland, R5 finally starts their concert.

Merch Review #2 - Accessories

This is going to be a Part two to the Merch Reviews, only this time its accessories.

"Sometime Last Night iPhone 6 Case" 

($15) This phone case is protective of the screen, although it is not a case you would want to use if you know you will accidentally drop your phone. The design is a good contrast to the background color. The price isn't as bad as most phone cases that are made of this material.

"Silicon Bracelet Set" 

($10) This set of bracelets come in the colors green, pink, yellow, purple and blue. These bracelets are a bit uncomfortable when you wear it with long sleeve shirts or on a hot day, but otherwise they are really cool. I wouldn't wear them often because when they get dirty they are a little difficult to clean. Everything will stick to this material. Other than cleaning difficulties I believe this is a good piece of merchandise to buy.

"Gold Guitar Pick Necklace" 

($20) These necklaces can last up to 2 years (or even more), but if they are put in water they will start to rust and the paint will start to chip. These necklaces have the original R5 symbol on them. I bought one of these, but it is not worth $20.

Merch Review #1 - Clothes

Recently in early January R5 released new merchandise on their website. This will just be my opinions on the clothes and prices and stuff like that.

The first piece of merch I will give an opinion on is the "Sometime Last Night Circle Logo T-shirt".

 ($25) This shirt's collar is often very tight and it is sometimes hard to get someones head through. When the shirt is too long for some people, they sit and it feels like the shirt is choking them slightly.
The colors used are very bright and it looks very good on the white background, although I see no significance in the design. This design doesn't represent who they are or what they like so I don't really understand the purpose of it. This shirt is definitely over priced.






"Ladies All Night Moon and Stars Long Sleeve T-shirt" 


 ($35) This shirt is soft, but thin. This isn't a shirt to wear on a cold day, although it is very comfortable. The colors are kept simple, black and white. This shirt has a design that refers to one of their songs so I can agree with a lot of people that this is a cute shirt. I would totally buy it, but it is really over priced.








"Dip Dye Beanie"



 ($25) This type of beanie is very thin, so I would wear it for style rather than warmth. The color used looks good, but there should have been a selection of colors if a person doesn't like a certain color. The ombre design is kept simple and the R5 tag is a nice touch. This is something i would buy, but come on. $25 for a beanie?
