JustSoN Quesiton: Boy Bands


It seems you can't turn on a television without having some shot of the Jonas Brothers. Now I know that they may be a favorite of Brandon's, but for me, not so much.

Which leads me to the JustSoN Question of the Day: Who do you consider the worst boy band of ALL time?

(and yes, it seems Boy Bands have been around since the beginning of time)

  1. Hanson. They ruined my life.

  2. I didn't know there could be a worst boy band of all time.... They all seem pretty bad to me.

    But I'd have to say O-Town.

    Ashley spent more time on his hair and make-up than I do... and that's saying something.

  3. I really don't like N*SYNC all that much... but I LOVE the Backstreet Boys. I'd go see them in concert.

  4. That might depend on your definition of "worst". What I dislike is that some (most? ALL??) of these groups are not popular because of any particular talent; they are popular because of enormous marketing schemes by the likes of Disney.
    If you are a powerful marketing company, you don't have to wait for some talented quartet to break through to popularity on their own. Instead you create a group with some basic ability and market the hell out of them until they become popular, then rake in the profits from the popularity you have engineered.
    To me this is completely false, a deliberate misleading of the music fans based on the premise that they are not smart enough to decide what they like for themselves, and THAT is the worst.

    Am I ranting? I seem to be ranting. Sorry, I'll stop now. ;-)
