Boybands are definitely a serious issue

[marilena_r]

Last Christmas by Exile has leaked and I find it excellent! I like the way it sounds in Japanese! (Just the beggining is too cheezy.)
Actually, I was seeking for more information on Exile when I came across this blog entry:

It's from August 2008 and it is an analysis

I was JUST discussing the lack of Greek boybands today. Thank you for the info XD Are they any good, these Juke Box dudes? O_o

Juke box suck! They can't even harmonize well. Only in an RnB song they did well. I hope they do RnB.

lol~ talk about O-Town, I used to like them

[marilena_r]

Really?
Lol, I hadn't even heard of them and now I learn they had fans! If you liked them you must not have been very pleased with the analysis... ^.^ -

Well I know one of the guy from O-town who used to be extremely cute tried to be a solo artist, years after the group disband, but then he failed to make a comeback ^^"
Those were only the times that I like them lol but I do lsiten to their song every now and then :D

...I'm still a backstreet boys' fan haha

oh hey, I just noticed your comment, thanks a lot for linking to my blog! I'm glad you enjoyed the entry, I had almost forgotten about it actually.

also, my assertion that o-town ruined the boy band trend was maybe a little dramatic, but it is true that the whole teen pop / boy band thing has indeed faded away in America. the Backstreet Boys did reunite, but they aren't very popular anymore. It's mostly crunk/r'nb and punk-pop nowadays. I think once Justin Timberlake became a viable solo star, THAT was the real death knell for boy bands.

sorry I'm rambling, but thanks again for the post!
