i think many groups/singers have gotten famous due to tv shows, the internet, and the media. i just can't picture the backstreet boys or n-sync working their way up the ladder by doing club shows or performing at bars. i'm sure no one would pay a dime to see them live in such a setting. but since they were manufactured and over exposed to millions of teenage girls on mtv, they have become huge. i would add to the list pretty much every pop sensation to that list, from miley cyrus, to o-town (remember "making the band"),98 degrees, justin timberlake, and britney spears. but i have to admit it takes more then just a tv show to make them famous. look at 1/2 the american idol contestants. not all of them have done huge #'s on the pop charts, and look at the show rock star inxs, or supernova. both bands flopped. some people just like free entertainment, and once the show is over, that's it for that artist.

i think right now it's a horrible era for rock/heavy metal music. so many great albums put out by many artist and none of them have done well because lack of exposer. everyone is too into all of these manufactured corporate artist that have their music and lyrics written for them. so at the end they turn out to be puppets. it's sad but true.

I think racism played a big part in trying to promote this group...
