How can these kids sleep at night taking in a huge payday for this crap?
As long as people are foolish enough to buy it ( the "Biebs," Rihanna, Katy Perry, J-Lo, the list goes on), why should the "perpetrators" of said "crap" be bothered.
This, after seeing the comment that Paul Rogers made about Casey's band about it being "original and unique" and "hoping it gets the recognition it deserves." After my first read my thought was, "how nice." Then after a second read, I thought "how vague -- what does he really mean?"

RE: Austin Mahone
Quote:Austin Mahone calls Bieber comparisons 'obnoxious'
Austin Mahone is over the Justin Bieber comparisons.
Like Bieber, Mahone got his start on YouTube and catapulted to teen heartthrob status with his female-centric pop sound and dance moves.
But the 18-year-old says enough is enough.
"I can kind of see where they're coming from, but at the same time, it's kind of obnoxious," he said of the comparisons. "They see a young kid who sings and dances and ... they're like, 'Oh another Justin Bieber.' Like, you don't even know. You don't know me. You don't know my music. You're just making assumptions."
Mahone said he wants people to listen to his music before linking him to Bieber...
...Mahone is hoping to grab some new fans with his U.S. debut EP, "The Secret," which came in at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week. He was also set to perform the national anthem during Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
"I may not be the best dancer or the best performer right now, but I'm always getting better," he said. "Next year I'll be even better than I am now. And the year after that, I'll just keep getting better."
Mahone, who is signed to Lil Wayne's Cash Money/Young Money imprint, is preparing for a tour in July and hopes to release a full-length album by November.
He describes his music as a mix of pop, R&B, electronic dance music and '90s Backstreet Boys.
