Because their manager's an a$$ and didn't get them 'out there' enough. At least that's what I think my point of
view...and that's what the talk is that's goin' round. I saw VE's vid on much music a few hours ago too. Woo.

You'd think these shows would realise that none of these bands/solo artists have worked. They have one or two songs and then either break up or
disappear. SO far the longest running one I can remember is Bardot, but even they've gone the way of the dodo now (although a couple are on to
doing their own thing).
Kinda makes me feel sorry for the people who win. Surte some of them would end up in a good position (Justin) but for the rest they have their month
in the spotlight and are back taking orders at McDonalds.

No offense but I predicted VE's fate the minute I heard their lead single and saw the ludicrious video accompanying it.
But I agree with that you're saying..it's very sad that these young people go into these shows with high hopes of making a career, but
their managers have no intent of developping artists in the long run. As long as they make money, they bring the show on the air and that's
it...
But without VE Justin wouldn't have made the leap into TV and Janelle wouldn't make solo concerts soo..

I'm sure he would...but i'm sure the circumstances surrounding Popstars precipitated or enabled his meeting with TLV

I knew that VE would fail to, no offence or anything just like, they came to late in the "pop" sceen. Also look how long SJ lasted.....I
mean, they sounded alright together.
I think justin suits the type of music he does now.
