shadowgod Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Now that we are several chapters into Let the Music Play, I figured it was high time to resurrect Kevin's previous Poll from way back in October 2007. So who is your favourite? Has that changed as the story has progressed? if so why did your favourite change? Mine should be pretty obvious. My favourite is Eric, and no I haven't wavered from the original poll. Steve
MikeL Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Hey, Steve. Brandon is my favorite and has been from the first chapter. I think the story is about him and his good fortune, rising from impoverished and obscure circumstances. He is also the hero having rescued Instinct from the destructive behavior of its former lead singer. The Carlisle brothers are all good guys and I like them, but Brandon leads the pack. He is also in a position to be the hero again by the end of the story.
Drewbie Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Brandon has been my favorite since the beginning. Order is Brandon - For all the trouble he's gone thru, kind guy Chase - For helping brandon, with eric, all of them are hot. Eric - he's a nut case how can I not like him Edit: Eric is tied with chase for favs. Edited April 20, 2008 by Drewbie
Site Administrator wildone Posted April 20, 2008 Site Administrator Posted April 20, 2008 I haven't voted because my option isn't listed......yet! Originally I said Brandon. I agree with Mike that the story kind of revolves around him, and his adventure with the brothers. Even though J/S's side plot is now a major part of the story, I feel that it is still about Brandon. Now since you were generous enough to include people associated with the band, I have to ask where is Gunter? At this point of the story I find him really interesting. It is like CJ is being a tease, giving us just minor glimpses of the man that I feel will be the one to foil all of J/S's plans. Probably be helped out by Brandon, Jon, Eric, and Chase. Most likely will involve something from Joe and even Barbara. In the end though I feel it will be Gunter who takes care of business.
Tiger Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I chose Eric and no. I think Eric is awesome. I noticed that he and Brandon are now tied. He is definitely a close second.

My favourite is Eric, and no I haven't wavered from the original poll. Steve Well, I just bumped the old thread for purposes of comparison, I too was struck by Eric's surprisingly low numbers! However, in my case while I had originally voted for Eric in the other poll my new vote would tentatively go to Chase. I was kinda torn between them all along, and he's just grown on me alot. It's really a toss up though. I notice we have less that half the number of votes in this poll that we do in the original! I wonder if perhaps people are waiting until the very end to cast their vote this time. That way if Brandon decides to rip the transmitter out of The Scar's hand and take over the world himself, or if Eric ends up selling everyone out to Dimitri and Mario to avoid his own murder, no one will feel foolish for having voted for them I haven't voted because my option isn't listed......yet!

Hmm, well he certainly foiled the assassination attempt and as such served his ultimate purpose and duty their security man, but it looks like he hasn't foiled all of The Scar's plans! Could Gunter perhaps win a poll as 'favourite martyr'? Take care all and have a great day! Kevin
GaryK Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Brandon was the outcast. He had my sympathies from the very first chapter. Over time he's gained my respect for stepping so successfully into a role that has to tough to fill. Taking over as lead singer for a popular band and being accepted so openly by the brothers and the fans. Now he has even more of my respect for keeping his wits about him and landing that plane safely. None of what I feel about Brandon has anything to do with his love affair with Chase. I like Brandon just for being Brandon.
Site Administrator Graeme Posted May 8, 2008 Site Administrator Posted May 8, 2008 Well, I just bumped the old thread for purposes of comparison, I too was struck by Eric's surprisingly low numbers! You have to remember that, while he was redeeming himself, Eric and Jon had made statements earlier that Chase had objected to -- and showed his objection by playing his drums in their room while they had a hangover They were also the ones who had asked Brandon to go along with Charity's blackmail. So, neither one had a promsing start in the story. The original voting probably reflected that. They have both been working hard to improve their image, and, I think, largely succeeded. Jon is still a largely minor character in the band -- his part in the story is considerably smaller than the other three band members, but Eric has done a lot to make us like him after his initial bad start. I'm not voting yet. I want to think about it some more.

EMoe57 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I admit that I changed. I originally liked the way Helen was written but Eric's character is much funnier - Tequila?
BeaStKid Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 No change... Eric all the way... Though it was a close competition between him and Brand.. BeaStKid
FrenchCanadian Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 There's still no change for me Brandon is my favorite. In a way, he's like the main protagonist, we start the story (not counting the prologue) with him and therefore he's my favorite of the four.
