But then you redeemed yourself with the next line.

Please, dont put the greatest band ever in the same category as a talentless pop star.

Aw dude, you must be "trolling"... Go back and listen to a few of the "greatest band ever" earlier albums and try and tell me that "I wanna hold your hand" has any more social relevance than "Tik Tok" by Keisha. The Beatles were packaged and sold just like JB, Elvis, the Backstreet Boys, New Edition, etc. That's the music industry now and that was the music industry then. Nothing has really changed except your perspective.

Now if you'd like to argue that some of their later work was relevant, I'd probably agree with you. Of course, then you'd have to concede that the possibility exists that JB could still write extraordinary music in the future, once he has established himself. Heck, maybe he'll spend some time with the Dali Lama....

They were doing it for Jerry Lee too, before he married his cousin

I don't think I've ever even heard one JB song but hey he's doing his thing and getting paid, nothing wrong with that. There is so much hatred in this country for success....

Nsync- Boy band Suck

Poison- Big hair Suck

Osmonds- Mormon Suck

Brittany- Slut Suck

Hannah Montana- Bubble gum Suck

Mozart- Did not suck.

Do you see the pattern there?

Not really, if they didnt think he was dangerous they could have told him to just keep his hands in his back. But yeh that is a good point

He's the "Youtube kid" right?
I dont like the music or the modern music industry however I am twice the age of the demographic that drives music sales. Whats the difference between someone being discovered playing in a local bar vs discovered on youtube?
