Manufactured bands

Recently, there have been a great emergence of manufactured groups in the music industry and that have probably made impossible that other kind of musicians can arrive to a bigger audience. However, I neither agree nor disagree that record companies should stop signing up pre-designed bands, I simply don’t like the type of music they play.

From my point of view, these bands take more care about their image rather than their lyrics. What’s more, if we watch to some videoclips of any of these groups, we can observe some pretty faces with ostentatious esthetic singing monothematic songs.

Another aspect which I don’t like is that despite singing own songs (probably they don’t have any) they sing the songs that the producer or whoever has written, and that, shows that they have no musical personality.

In addition, most of these famous groups, after some years, they mysteriously disappear. Does somebody know the new single of Sugababes? Or Backstreet Boys? Besides, these types of groups are constantly changing their members, and in most cases, nobody listen to anything of them again.

To sum up, as I said, I don’t really mind what manufactured bands do or stop doing, but I think that music is a marvellous way to express yourself and that should be the most important of it, rather than appearance.
