Okay, I am still here, waiting for my confirmation email...but I just have to say one thing about the boy band trend...BSB, yes they were formed by the same man that did NKOTB...but Nsync on the other hand was formed on their own..one of the members founded the group, they were already friends and decided it would be cool to start singing together, the person that did start BSB and NKOTB was involved with them in the beginning, but that didn't last long when they realized it had been three years and they still hadn't receieved any royalties for any of their records..their record company was reaming them, so they went on their own...now i know that makes it sound like they only wanted money, because that is not it...they just wanted what was owed to them..which is fair....and Scott..thanks for the kind words...I will miss it here but right now I just can't deal with it..

Never frown because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.

I have a question. What is the one thing that is completely out of our control? What has no face, no personality, no beginning and no end? What transcends all race, culture and language, and dictates our actions and keeps us in sync? Give up? Some have more, some have less. It all depends on what you decide to do with it. Everyone has the opportunity to shine. Everyone can have their moment in the spotlight. Others will have their time, but this is our time, the only difference, we're here to stay.

> Their success (prior to going rap and trying to burn down a hotel room) opened the door to Boy Bands in the '90's... N'Sync, 98 Degrees, BackStreet Boys, and all those others that I am growing to not be able to stand anymore... it showed that an all-male group, without them playing instruments during the shows, but instead putting on a well-choreographed dance act... but honestly, they've been there for a long long time...
> The Pretenders. Barbershop Quartets. All male bands that showed how well several voices all singing at once in harmony could sell. A Boy Band (or a solo teenage female singer) is really nothing new... unfortunately, they're all falling into the stereotype that society has drawn up for them the past several years, and playing the part very well.

> Boy Band = Pretty boys... must occupy at LEAST 3 teen mag. covers... wanted by at least 80% of the under-16 teenage female population
> Britney/Christina types = physically perfect (usually involving some sort of cosmetic surgery) skinny girls that have to be lusted for by a minimum 65% of the male population... first ranking on the list is pedophiles and men in prison for 10-to-20.
