MTV Boss: Manufactured Bands May Have Peaked
WOW and that from MTV

Manufactured bands may have peaked in an industry increasingly swamped by instant pop idols, according to a top MTV executive.

"I think people will get sick of identikit bands," said Brent Hansen, President and Chief Executive of MTV Networks Europe, as he put the finishing touches to the music channel's annual award show Thursday night.

Hansen, whose big night line up of live acts for the MTV show ranges from Eminem to Whitney Houston, believes the current glut of manufactured bands is becoming a turn-off.
