Rolling Debutante Bubblegum Teenpop Thread 2008

In fairy tales, adolescent girls are sometimes made the object of romantic attachment by older men. While suggesting it, this is not ephebophilia since the males do not have exclusive sexual preference for young girls. Some fairy tales that are alleged to contain ephebophilia are Rimsky-Korsakov's opera version of the Snow Maiden, Vasilissa the Beautiful, and Sadko.[citation needed] These themes are sometimes correlated with gerontophobia.

Teenpop, or Bubblegum pop, or adjectiveless pop is music that risks itself, risks its singer, risks its listener. It is music that, real or not, feels like it has something at stake. There's something at stake in the music when you live your life to it - when you use music to live your life.

Obviously, I'm identifying hard with teenpop...

have u seen movie Mordechai Shinefield's BRATZ?!

Though the series was a success for Channel 4, gaining 2 million viewers, little thought had been taken on the ethics of child performers, singing songs originally written for older artists and dressing and dancing in a provocative style often influenced by the original performance. Whilst embraced by children who loved the idea of ordinary children singing and dancing as they did along with their favourite songs, the show sat uneasily with some adults, capped by a performance from five year old Joanna Fisher who covered the Sheena Easton song "9 to 5" (known as "Morning Train" in the states) in nightclothes and included the lyrics "we make love".

In response the program started to draw criticism from commentators in the British media who suggested that portraying children in this manner, singing songs that often contained a subtext of adult content, was somewhat sinister (one such critic dubbing the show 'MiniWhores' at one point). Also the Daily Mail claimed that the Minipops were partly responsible for "the slaying of childhood". The following is an excerpt from The Observer article of 27 February 1983:

"Is it merely priggish to feel queasy at the sight of primary school minxes with rouged cheeks, eye make-up and full-gloss lipstick belting out songs like torch singers and waggling those places where they will eventually have places? The final act of last week's show featured a chubby blonde totlette, thigh-high to a paedophile, in a ra-ra skirt and high heels; her black knickers were extensively flashed as she bounced around singing the words 'See that guy all dressed in green/He's not a man, he's a loving machine.' Kiddieporn, a shop-window full of junior jailbait? And does the show thrust premature sexual awareness onto its wide-eyed performers?"

According to The Sunday Times, the children were "lasciviously courting the camera. This is aggravated by lashings of make-up on mini-mouths and rippling leather wrappings around embryo biceps ... In the twinkling of an eye the childhood of these children seems to have been stolen from them. (The Sunday Times, 13 March 1983, p. 36)

I'm no prude, but I can't help wondering about the motives of a record producer who thinks it's a good thing to have a group of small children sing "Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight..."

The series revolved around a group of children and teenagers who performed in their own rock group, Kids Incorporated. The band members struggled to deal with issues ranging from divorce to violence to schoolyard crushes while performing regularly at a local restaurant/theatre, The P*lace (called The Malt Shop in the pilot). It was originally named The Palace, but the "a" in the neon sign burned out. It was never explained how the KI group funded or profited from their performances, but the show did not aim for strict realism. The action took place on abstract, "stagey" sets and the plots involved many fantasy elements (such as the band meeting a singing robot).

Anyway, how would you characterize Miley's voice? It's a lot darker and rougher than Avril's or Hilary's. And she's not shy with it; rams the raw throat right into the mic.
