Boy Band who suck little less?.

Thanks Jess! You're right - nothing about the music biz is simple. And once you're a part of it, you learn a lot. Many think they know, but until you're in it, you have no idea.

I voted for They All Suck. Just not my type of music.

Although I do have a sick attraction to the Backstreet Boy's, I Want It That Way.

That is all I will say on the subject.

I saw that you posted something about lonenlieness, so...
No that was just because of that! I do think this is a very intersting subject...

I don't see Roan keating as a boyband, he is playing mature music for mature people. justin, oooh! i don't like that guy, he seems to be a fake person, a fix! i don't why all girls like him, maybe you could tell me that.

Bon jovi and Aerosmith a from two diffrent kinds of rock categories. Aerosmith from the glamrock and bon jovi from pop-metal/hair metal.
and we was talking about boy bands, which comes from the same category, so thats like compareing britney spears and pink, both from the pop category, but very diffrent, as Bon jovi and Aerosmith!

boy bands are making trend music they uses the same producers, and they always tries to by quite similiar to eachother, which is one of the reasons why I hate them, can't they just do something speciall!!!

yes everybody who wants a record deal do what ever people tell them to do, bon jovi as well (she don't know me...). even if you has sold 5 million albums you don't have so much to put up against the record company, so I do belive that people are making descions over their heads. Mariay carry (can't spell her name ) lost her record contract, and she has sold over 135 million albums!

are you a part of the music industry?

I also enjoy this conversation.

The statement you made "they all try to sound alike" is not accurate, based on my idea that you have likely never owned/downloaded/listened to a full Nsync/BSB album. I do suppose the earlier material by these bands sounded much alike, due to the Swedish pop factory writing their hits.

NSYNC released an album in 2001 called "Celebrity". They experimented with many sounds and styles, merging together to create something unlike many of today's pop albums. They then branded this new sound as "dirty pop". And it is different. You may say, pop is still pop. But this album blurred the edges of the genre.

The Justin solo album was a surprise to me when listening to it. I expected many NSYNC styled songs, but instead got the R&B flavour of the 70's and 80's fused with today's beats. The kid did something that isn't the norm for NSYNC. It'd very retro. And now it's a trend, with the release of Jennifer Lopez's CD "This Is Me - Then". She proceeded to do the same kind of flashback Justin did.

The fascination with Justin Timberlake is something that awes me a bit. Many think of NSYNC and immediately picture him. Some even label him as the "Lead singer". As great of a singer as he is, it's unfortunate to me, because the star of the show, in my book, is JC Chasez. He's an understated talent. Yet Justin gets the attention. A great deal of Justin's fanbase is based on his looks, and it's sad. Because he is a talented individual with vocal ability. But before this image thing is considered a reason to dislike boybands, remember that Jon Bon Jovi is also a good looking guy and there are misguided people out there who don't give a damn about a Bon Jovi record and just think he's hot. I think being good looking AND talented can be more of a curse than a gift, as far as earning respect goes. It's not like they can help it.

I am a songwriter and singer. I like attending industry workshops and gatherings.

and ...

boybands are not making music that is the trend. The genre OF pop music is a trend in itself. What styles define pop come and go. But pop is always there, taking on new forms constantly. It never truly goes away.

All of them sucks big time! I can't stand those gnikcuf boy bands!

I didn't need to think long about this one.:

THEY ALL SUCK BIG TIME!

Westlife KICKS ASS!

Rock on Mouse

I voted for Take That btw
