  • Boy bands are designer bands. The screaming girls are the target audience. Its simple; get a bunch of cute young guys to sing lovey-dovey emotional songs, with the odd rebel track, make some film clips and wammo you've got a money making machine. Id be worried if i were a parent. You just never know what political or social brainwashing messages are going to be put out by this group. Problem something like "sleep around and have fun, fun, fun."
