LOL Jess I like "these screaming lunatics"! Anyway I think you and Nikki are somewhat right, since some time, when it comes to pop music I am really trying not to sterotype, trying to enjoy pop music too. Even though there is just a different way of enjoying the pop music I would say, more like come on and have fun!Although I may be wrong here...

And there's a lot of bands, artists that are just "clones". Everything is the same, the music, one blond girl or five cute boys and boss of music label thinks it's gonna be good selling product (yes, product). They are not just a little innovative, or even don't try to sound different (ok, I admit here, this Mandy Moore song "In my pocket" sounds pretty interesting as for pop music). No offense to anyone, but when I watch tv and see another band with 5 boys and it's not BSB and NSYNC I'm thinking what's going on? Gina gave the example of 98 Degrees and BSB. I know for those people (artists) performing is like a dream coming true, but sometimes not everyone who likes to sing CAN sing and I would agree with you Jess when it comes to Britney (including stripping,LOL,although I know some like her voice). Just look how many people start their own bands, or really can sing, but they can't sign a record deal, just because they don't look cute or the music they play won't sell (don't forget that rock music isn't so popular in Europe as in the States).

I think it's great Nikki and Jess, that you both can enjoy different types of music, I'm learning to do this too...

Agie

Thanks Agie for saying that. I think its great to like different styles of music. I just love music in general..it makes me happy..any of it. Some days I want to hear something loud and obnoxious and in your face and other days I just want to listen to something light hearted and fun to dance to. But there are alot of the copy cat groups that follow BSB and Nsync..but they will never be as good and I am thinking the same thing as you Agie, what's going on? I resepct Nsync greatly even more for the fact they they werent produced by a record company, they were friends who wanted to sing together, they weren't an idea that was thought up by some old guy with billions of dollars going, we need five guys who can sing and dance who will be popular for a while. But I think these days, alot of those "produced bands", or product as you would say Agie are kind of few and far between. I think more and more of these pop acts are starting it on their own, which I can respect more.
