Phooson: This Ain't a Show, It's a God Damn Popularity Contest

There is probaly no one I pity more than the singer of Fall Out Boy. Here he is, the lead singer, with a voice that defines the band's sound, and he's upstaged every time the camera pans over to Pete. Pooor guy, looking a little doughy, wearing a trucker hat...

There is probaly no one I pity more than the singer of Fall Out Boy. Here he is, the lead singer, with a voice that defines the band's sound, and he's upstaged every time the camera pans over to Pete.

It was worst when Pete took his shirt off, sending the girls in to a screaming frenzy I fear hurt my hearing during the last song. -- Martin Cizmar
