I just started thinking about that today, about how the treatment of Kanye is going to be completely different. Is it a good thing that America almost expects its celebrities to have scandals and be assholes?
I never really paid attention to the idol scene in the 90s, so was there anything like this when we had boybands too? But then again, did any of us really believe that Justin and Britney stayed pure? Justin even mocked that in his SNL skit.
It is interesting to note how the Asian idol market differs.
BTW, has anyone else noticed that Again and Again is pretty much the exact same composition as Nobody? It's like, a mashup wouldn't even be fun, since they're so similar.
