what do you think about them? ok, i imagine everyone here dislikes this kind of music, but what do you think of the way this bands are selected? is this affecting kids in a bad way (participate and you can become a star)? personally i don't think it's affecting bad on anyone except the silly people..music industry needs their money and why not create a band in this way if it proves that it's a very smart thing to do regarding the sales. im sure every parent can explain to their kid what's the deal here. there's this big debate about it here in our country atm, because of the eurovision song selection, although it's been going on for quite a while now. there's an 'artist' who is bashing all these bands and the way they make music, their look, their lyrics..no need to mention his music sucks just the same. |

With no regard to the music, I think it's actually a good way for people to get a foot in the door, so to speak. In the long run this method is going to wear off. The audience can only take so many new pop-idols pr year (with the usual runner-ups getting a contract and such). The guy who won norwegian pop-idol last year didn't cut the cheese, but the girl who came second did actually do a nifty single. And it shows that it's not usually the winner who takes the trophy in the end. |

it's just business. if kids come to the audition, they are either already affected or they are business people and don't care about music. |

well, the discussion went in this direction; "music industry is polluting our childrens minds with music without any values, they present these stars even vulgar, often in sexual poses, and it just doesn't have anything to do with music and it isn't educational..". i say if the parent are stupid enought to buy stuff like that for their kids then blame it on the parents not the music industry. |

images are everywhere - on tv, where you can occasionally glance, on ads on the streets - no need to buy, it will find you. |

i agree with tolstoyed, vlari and matvey's comments... it's just business - that's the nature of the music industry. if anything, it's actually a bit more honest than the way they usually do things because they aren't even pretending that these people earned their jobs with hard work. they are upfront with the fact that it's a contest - a lottery, and the winner is selected based on marketability. that's how it has always worked in commercial music, so it's a completely logical and efficient thing to have these shows. as for the question about morality, answers i'm sure will vary from person to person... in my opinion, the question is irrelevant as long as the state doesn't get involved. the corporations' job is to make money* and the parents' job is to decide what their kids look at. * yes, corporations should be regulated so they don't violate people's rights and they must not be permitted to destroy the environment and monopolize, etc. but everyone deserves complete freedom of speech, and part of that is allowing people to say things you don't agree with morally, even the giant evil corporations. |
