Jess, you made some great points here. As you guys know, I am 28 and I love pop music, as much as rock. I get alot of flack for liking Nsync, and its exactly what you said about BSB..people assume I like them because of their looks which is not the case, even though they are good looking, I like them because I like their music and they are extremely talented. Its the music that's important. I have gone into Nsync chat rooms or message boards and have people tell me that I have no taste in music because I like them and I am stupid, etc..but I have never been insulted for liking any rock bands. But I go agree with you too on pop's fan base..too many fans get so carried away and only like them cause they are cute, etc, and yes, it makes the fans like me, the ones who don't care what they look like look bad. When I saw Creed last year there was this girl in front of me who, did not really know Creed's music, didn't even know their names, but she did know Scott's name..I knew this cause I was talking to her..and she said she thought Scott was hot..and at the show, she really didn't even get into the show..she looked bored, until Scott was in front of us..then she was all screaming and yelling to get his attention. Okay, I forget where i was heading with this, but like Jess said, take it for what its worth.

Thanks for the reply Nikki. I would also like to cmment on people saying that these pop groups aren't talented. Nsync's music may not have much of a message, and they might not have the best voices, etc... but they can dance and that's a talent. Just because a band doesn't play insturments or write their own music (which btw BSB and Nsync are starting to do) doesn't mean they have no talent. It's like saying that a person who can write music but can't sing isn't talented. or that a person who can sing but not write music isn't talented. Everyone has different talents, it's just up to them to accentuate their talents. Like personally I think Britney Spears should give up singing and just stick to dancing (or stripping lol). But hey it's all a matter of opinion, unlike in sports, talent is undeniable, either you've got it or you don't, and it shows.
