Welcome to the 48th Bethany Joy Music Appreciation Thread

I l o v e s i n g i n g. Getting on stage...it's like reaching in to the bottom of my soul and bringing it right up. I love it.

Welcome to the Bethany Joy Music thread. As most Joie fans have come to know, Bethany Joy is not just an actress. She has many talents and one of them is being blessed with an amazing voice, and the gift of music.

In this post you will find everything you need to know about Joie's musical career thus far so you too, can appreciate her amazing talent. Once you're up to date join in on the appreciating!

I wrote my first song when I was maybe like four years old. I was always wandering around the house making things up. Back then, I learned a lot about singing from listening to Mariah Carey. I would sing to her [albums] and try and get all her riffs and stuff. I would be in my room for hours until I could get it right, it helps being an only child because I didn't have anything else to do!

Before asking for the gmail account:

Before asking for the gmail account, which is an account with all the Joy songs, you have to have 50 posts on this thread. This is not to because we don't want to share songs but because we want people to show their support for Joy! She deserves it and I'm sure everyone here agress!

After you have 50 posts here, we are more than happy to give you the gmail account. You are not allowed to post the gmail account info on any official message boards, as that is how we lost our first gmail account. It is not meant that you will just download the songs and then not buy Joy's new CD once it is released, so please show your support!

Most people on this board are insane Joie fans and pretty much all have Joie's songs and are willing to share them with other Joie fans. If you want to hear Joie's songs then the best thing to do is PM one of the regular posters and ask them if they'd be willing to send you the songs. Alternatively you can post a request in this thread, but those can sometimes be missed.

NOTE: Show your support to Joy! Downloading her music for free is nice, but please do buy her CDs when you have the chance to!

NOTE 2: [from Caroline]
Let's stop pirates from gaining profit through Joy's hard work:

There are now 5 CDs with Joy music being sold on eBay and they are all burned. I really hate that people are making money on her music and I am afraid that once her CD is released, less people will buy it if people just copy it and sell it.

The point of sharing her music is not so you don't have to buy her CDs, the point is to appreciate it together and to get to enjoy it if you have no way to get rare CDs like Preincarnate and Come On Home. I think it's awful that people are making money on music that she has worked hard on and to add, it is illegal as far as I know! What sickens me is that some of the song names are not even correctly spelled!

So please, take a few minutes and write to eBay about this and if you don't want to do that then report these items as illegally copied because that is what they are!

Go to eBay and search for Bethany Joy Lenz. (LINK) You can report it (HERE.) I have asked around and I heard that it is in fact illegal and I have reported some and I know other posters have too but eBay staff obviously don't get it.
