A few months ago, the Newsboys accounced that frontman Peter Furler would be stepping down and replaced by former DC Talk vocalist Michael Tait. This news was disappointing to many of Peter's fans and many, including myself, felt the transition was handled poorly. I'd already bought my concert tickets and the tour had already started before they made the publicity announcement, even though they'd known for a few months prior. I felt disappointed, but I'm a big girl. Life goes on.
It frustrates me and I just need to rant a little: The folks I'm friends with on the forum are still, months later, crying about this change! They're saying stuff as extreme as the Newsboys should call it quits now and disband! I finally said something on the boards, that we don't need to keep ranting about the same topic and someone I really respect responded saying, "What, are we all supposed to just talk in happiness and sunshine?"
You're still crying over this change? Seriously, people? Buck up. Life will still go on.

Agh, I totally agree!! I got sick of their lame whining and crap like a week after the change. I did my sadness and disbelief, now I'm welcoming Taiter Tot and looking forward to see what he's got for us.
*sigh *
Well that's why I'm not on the Buzz anymore, and probably why the NB Boards are still closed. I just wish we could go back to the way things were. :(
Well put. I loved Peter as lead singer, but he's not right now, and that's the way it is. Move on.
