| HappySqurriel said: Here is the approach that is taken to create a pop star: Start off by selecting a large number of generally attractive girls with moderate singing and dancing abilities. Pair these girls up with a vocal coach, a dance instructor, a stylist, a publicist, and a song writer and "develop" artist for 6 to 12 months; this entails generating a semi-rebellious mostly-conformist image, creating semi-unique mostly-generic pop music, and developing the basic skills to pull it off. Focus test the artist against the target demographic; if the artist succeeds the focus test spend significant amounts of money promoting the artist; and if they fail the focus test recycle the artists who were particularly attractive, and/or had decent singing or dancing skills (otherwise throw the artist away). Being that a small portion of the girls (about 10%) will pass the focus test, of those a small portion of them (about 10%) will be successful in the market, and it is difficult to predict which girls will be successful, it is mostly a numbers game and if a music label starts with enough girls some will be very popular. |
And this is why we need some real rock bands to arrive soon, this conveyor belt pop star crap is reallllly irritating. Let them work their way up from playing clubs and make it famous from their talent.
I can't believe Bieber won artist of the year at the AMA's. What is the world coming too? I'd rather play Ninjabreadman while flying off a cliff in a buring car and landing in cow feces. :D
