its teens with acess to autotune and itunes

It is merely a mark of changing values - record companies have been intentionally creating acceptable 'idols' since the 1950s.

During the 1980s, the rise of MTV helped create multiple careers marketed at a teen demographic. In 1990 and 2000, boy bands were the hallmark of any teen's bedroom wall. As we enter a new generation and demographic - one more sophisticated with technology - the notion of a single, approachable idol (preferably one who 'outshone' the rest) is extremely marketable.

Look back - Justin Bieber is not the first. There was Vanilla Ice, Hillary Duff, Boyz 2 Men, New Kids on the Block...

EDIT: On another note, singers between the ages of fifteen and twenty typically have the best vocals for sugary, bubblegum-styled pop.


For various reasons, I'm not at HGN much any more.
I'll see you all around, though, some time...

Even if I don't like this kind of metal, I found this to be hilarious.

Not enough screaming not enough headbang.

COULD NOT STOP LOLING. In the begining of the video when the vocalist came in, I honestly thought they were moshing in the background.

The reason for the flux of teen singers is because record companies saw the success of Justin Bieber and seriously misunderstood the teen male demograph and thought they could market a teen girl that sounds like she needs Amarix.
