Music: If your kid wants bubblegum give them Tokio Hotel
There comes a time when your child starts liking her own music.
Hence, the boy band and other tween sensations like Hannah Montana.
Did I mention that Miley's tour was one of the most successful in the
last decade, $50 million in ticket sales and 1 billion projected for the fiscal year this year. It's RIDIC. Thank god she's not a drug addict and wears panties out of the house. In the press lately for her Vanity Fair mix up where pushy legend photog Annie Liebowitz "forced" her to pose in a sultry manner.
Kids have always had their own music- much of it manufactured by the Disney channel and Svengali's like Simon Fuller that produce boy bands. I had to sit through High School Musical one and two about 60 times, and listen to every spin off star's solo record. Frankly it all sucks, but as parents we are force fed. When I was a kid, Duran Duran was the boy band. They weren't that bad, in hindsight, they rocked.
If you are conservative, give them the Jonas Brothers. If Silverlake produced a boy band, this would be it. They are well styled and have punk-pop catchy G-rated hits. This band, produced by Disney, also has a movie , CAMP ROCK (yes, I will be forced to see it) coming out this year, along with merchandising and all those other things 360 deals involve. They earned 12 million last year.
If you like metal, Tokio Hotel is one of the biggest pop bands in Europe and they are starting to get airplay in the US. Mark my words, this band will be huge. They give new meaning to the idea of a hair band. They are twins and they think, "the Olsen twins are cute". aahhhhh. how cute.
Luckily, my daughter has discovered Joan Jett, and we watch her on YouTUBE singing, I LOVE ROCK N ROLL. "It just sounds so much better from a girl Mommy". (and guess what, she writes her own music and lyrics) Amen to that.
