My favorite was a brief interview where she said, "Wha you say?" I barely know who Justin Bieber is (if it wasn't for Twitter I wouldn't know at all).In my day (which isn't that far away considering I'm < 30) there was New Kids on the Block. I never liked them much. New Kids were followed closely by Kris Kross. Kris Kross made kids at my elementary school wear their pants backwards. I can still remember Kris Kross's, "Made you wanna JUMP, JUMP."Kris Kross was followed closely by MC Hammer and parachute pants. I can still hum (most of the words) "Can't Touch This."Vanilla Ice was popular about the same time. I remember thinking it was so cool that Vanilla Ice was in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II movie. I never owned a single album of his, however. Even today when I hear the rift in "Under Pressure" by Queen, I still think of Vanilla Ice first.Much later there was Backstreet Boys and NSync. I never got into those, but I did own a Christina Aguilera cd or 2. As you can see, I was a weird kid.Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are probably just another set of manufactured idols. In time they will be replaced by someone else.The popularity that I never got was High School Musical. Why were those shows popular?</blockquote>
