LOL! Yes, I just can't bear to call Mustin Mayo, mayo just doesn't deserve that slander so I stick with Miracle Whip. He seriously got clowned on that price. I think he should have gotten at least 150 million. While I think Bieber and Katy were way over valued at 200 Million.

I could not agree more about how this is similar to Kpop and it makes perfect sense because where Kpop is at now is pretty much where the American industry was at right before 9/11. Pop was still happening but the bubble was starting to burst and it was becoming overexposed and losing its creativity in an effort to cash in as much and as quickly as possible. The OG pop bands and singers were good but then there was a bunch of crap being pushed through and those ones truly needed the label. The fascinating (and sad) part is that Kpop pretty much skipped the era of superstar powerful artists. It's not like first wave artists Rain and Boa have huge control now, despite being OG Idols. I think what also adds a interesting level here too is that in the states, there really is ZERO artist development now which of course just adds to how much the artist needs the label. In the Kpop world they still have the trainee system BUT it doesn't seem to focus really much at all on actually training them in what they need to be true artists, instead it almost forms them into a popstar that can only exist in the exact system that particular label has going on.
