The point isn't that "boybands" are untalented. Anyone who has heard the Backstreet Boys sing acapella can attest to the fact that they're very talented. It's that they're not artists. They're not writing the songs. "Boybands" imply manufactured images, songs, etc... it's not authentic.
Writing with the people who write the songs for "boybands" is different...

When you bring five boys together with five different voices and you let them sing a capella, it always sounds nice. And that's what the Backstreet Boys do.
They just sing the song, and make faces like they give a lot of emotion. But it's still garbage. When another pop artist like Michael Jackson sings a song a capella, you can really hear the emotion, he does a lot more with his voice. Listen to You Rock My World A Capella, which is easy to find on KaZaA I think. He's got a lot of A Capella's, and all of them contain great singing. The Backstreet Boys just sing their songs, and that's it, since they are not talented singers.
