Why do we watch shows about people becoming stars? Do we like the music or do we picture ourselves becoming stars?

When many people here music they think the singer is the best part of the band but they are terribely wrong, the guitar and drum players are every bit as important as the singer.
my thoughts exactly how true. as i said they are only the speaker and not the artists :no:
If rock music was on the radio more often than what it is today then more people would like it of course, they are being exposed to new things and people like new things.
Sure metallica's music is being used in Iraq by the usa for interogratting prisoners.
nah, children like pop because its aimed more at them than rock is, rock isnt aimed at kids - the image, the videos etc are aimed at those who are older. Pop, however, is marketed at kids, the image is squeeky clean to be a good role model to kids etc.
A lot of pop music has no real depth, no particular talent behind it, lyrics are straight forward and easy to understand and requires no thinking. Kids understand it.
And, growing up, some kids listen to pop music because theyre developing their first crushes and not many 9 year olds want a crush on a rocker theyre all interested in the pretty boy. A pop boy.
For me, it's because I want to listen to pop. I don't really care if the majority of people think it's "manufactured crap", because that means fuck all to me. If something sounds good to me, I'll listen to it. And that mainly means I listen to pop a lot.
To me, I think rock music is crap. That's my opinion. In my experience, I think a lot of people are down on pop because it's not seen as "cool" to listen to it. They'd rather listen to what their friends listen to. That is a generalised comment, but I've seen it for myself.
And I'm willing to bet a lot more "rock music" fans actually watched a bit of Pop Idol than would let on
