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.

A Photographic History of Michael Jackson's Face New Picture Nov 13, 2002
Hard to believe - this was Michael Jackson. He was born August 28, 1958 - one of 9 kids. His father reportedly nicknamed him "Big Nose".
Mike was born a cute African-American guy. "Normal", if you will, and very talented. Despite the current, sad stories about his lonely, sad childhood, Mike grew up surrounded by famous people and an adoring public. At age 5, Mike and his brothers were the amazing 'Jackson 5'. They played locally, then in New York and Philly. They were "discovered" by Gladys Knight and pianist Billy Taylor at the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem.
