I think everyone is making good points here. I really wanted to read other opinions..because I tend to empathize a little too much to make a real statement.
If I were Javier I would be angry too, angry that I had a band that totally broke up..and that two people from this band found 100 percent total success. Yes..I would be very bitter at them..and at Keith...and at the whole music industry altogether.
But others HAVE gone thru racial barriers...the 70's were all about breaking woman barriers as well as racial barriers. Take disco..take raggae...take the whole movement that started to happen.
If he had been spectacular enough..would he have also been "chosen" by Keith? Thats the question that I guess there isnt an answer to.
I trully believe Keith saw something special with Lindsey and Stevie because of their beauty...talent and presence. He saw money..he saw this great ability to market these two as lovers..I dont think he ever saw a Roxette or anything.
That isnt so wrong..his job was to sense talent..and he was right with those two..again we will never know about the others...and all Javier can do is sound like a very angry bitter man...no matter how he really handled it.
I know I upset people when I said that S/L were not really a couple until they were put together to make music alone. The whole couple issue has been bothering me alot lately.. not to get off the subject..tho I am...its very disturbing to me to read what I read or see what I see in this whole new light...and to realize..how quickly AFTER fame..how S/L totally parted ways and so quickly got into other people...but that comes from my frustration of all the recent news ...when it comes to S/L ..I take it too seriously..and think about it too much..and its easy to sway because anything could be read in different ways....
I wish I could hear something from Keith tho...I think he REALLY did believe in them SO much...its just life that Javier didnt get the same break...
