I will admit that some boy bands are corporate money makers, like that show making the band and O-Town. With them they did not know each other beforehand, they got put together and put out a cd and the only reason that they are famous is because of the show, they have no background, no friendships before they were famous, no blood sweat and tears of working your ass off for years trying to get your music out there. They will not last I don't think, and frankly they do not sound all that good, they need alot of work. Now if you knew the backgroundbehind Nsync, you would not be so quick to judge.  They have known each other for years, they worked in clubs playing for ten people trying to get their music out there, they struggled for a long time, they didn't have instant fame, they scouted for their own record companies, they are their own band. I cannot speak for BSB because I am really not a fan of theirs. But they were not put together to be a corporate money maker, they put them selves together. I don't expect anybody to agree with me on this, but like Kat I get irritated when people talk bad about soemthing they know nothin about.  I don't know about you Kat, but I get so much slack for liking Nsync, and other pop stuff. people tell me that I have no taste in music, or how coul I possibly be a fan of both rock and pop. I love Creed and other bands for their meaningful lyrics and just cause rock music is awesome, I love pop because its fun, and pop performers are so fun to watch. I am not starting anything here, just putting in my two cents as well, and I have always said if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anythin at all, if its disgusts you that bad then its not worth talking about.
