That's just the way it is, the public gets wind that anyone of them has a girlfriend and they lose thousands of fans. Actually the funniest one I've seen is Will Young a guy who won the UK's version of American Idol, he waited until after all of th young girlies had voted him Pop Idol to come out as gay, now why wait till after...hmmmm... I don't blame them for making easy money, who wouldn't. But being well liked / popular and being genuinely talented is a different thing. They were the first to come up with this formula and that's about it. 607587@blogcritics.org Tue, 3 Jul 2007 07:06:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/26/000945.php#comment-607582 Well I can't say that I disagree, but then I'm older than the target audience too. To be honest they are pretty much off my radar and I only came across them because I was watching a Youtube video of a room full of teenage boys humping a couch. Aprrarently Pretty Ricky is their inspiration, bear in mind that none of these kids demonstrated any discenrnible talent at all, they never sang...just humped the floor. The responses to the videos all seem like young girls. So for me Pretty Ricky has sexualised vulnerable young women and now the predators are ready to pounce. 1 video + 1 myspace = stupid / vulnerable under-age girl getting wilfully violated. Its not happening in my country so i don't particularly care in that regard but I am black and find it really really depressing. We've got to be worth more than this. 607582@blogcritics.org Tue, 3 Jul 2007 06:52:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/26/000945.php#comment-602151 i love pretty ricky, pretty ricky keeps it real while you are sittin hear tryin to critize them for doing what they love.

Well the new cd is coming uot January 23,2007 and hope you heard their single "On The Hotline". Like I said their new cd is coming out I think their single is way better than any of the songs on "Bluestars" and I hope that you dont find the cd "Late Night Special" "Worst Album of the Year" in 2007 even if this may not be the type of music you might listen to. 506983@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Jan 2007 19:02:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/26/000945.php#comment-506981 Al: First of all I was realy upset of most of the things you said in the reveiw and to all of the other teens.But now I know you think cursing is being ignorent I wont do that.I think just because you want us to listen to other kinds of music I dont think that you have to say cruel things about them.Even if you wasent trying to bee cruel and it was just your opinon some of those things should have been kept to yourself.
