Since when does sucking warrant hate? Yeah, his music sucks a fat one, but lots of artists suck. Do they all deserve hate?
No creativity? Yeah, definitely. No talent? He can sing. Not spectacularly and he sounds like a chick, but he can still sing.
What's wrong with using one's looks to make money?

No, not all of them deserve hate. Just the ones that get rich and famous by making garbage music. And just to clarify, I'm not saying I wish the bands I listen to where as popular as these mainstream bands/artists; I like them just fine the way they are. It just angers me to see these so-called musicians succeed by being decidedly mediocre, regardless if others are as successful or not.
And as far as using one's looks to make money: it's perfectly acceptable and I have no problem with that. The problem is this kid calls himself a musician, which couldn't be more false. He's just a teenage model with background pop music (which he didn't even make)...
I just don't see why the person that gets people to buy the crappy music deserves the anger. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't really care what people listen to, but it seems to me that the people buying it, allowing mediocrity to make so much money, deserve more of the anger.
But all in all, I just don't see why any of this warrants anger. I'll listen to what I listen to (hip hop, "good" mainstream pop music and classic rock) and the teenybop world can go on existing as it as always has.
Yeah, you're definitely right about that first paragraph; it's not so much the artist's fault as it is the fanbase's. People will just eat up anything that's "hip" and "cool", and the music industry knows this, which is why they keep manufacturing all these generic pop "stars" that get forgotten as soon as the new model comes out to make a quick buck.
As for the second paragraph: I don't know, it just angers me. I'm not saying people should change their tastes and stop listening to whatever they like just because I disagree, and I know that kind of music isn't going to go away. I have my "good" music, everyone else's tastes don't matter, but it just angers me. :P
