The name of the game is not talent, but exposure and how much press you can get. They are talentless, but the public eats this junk up like potato chips because they don't know and too lazy to look past the hype media for it's taste. Go out to a club and get the real deal, not what jimmy joe bob likes, so you have to like it too.
