Well, there you are. I've always maintained that even the top rock acts stink in person. But I have always been as disgusted by the fuss about Milli Vanilli etc as I am revolted at the duo's existence.
On some early Beach Boys albums they're frauds as players -- studio musicians did the instrumental track, but so what? It was great music in its way. Pop has been artifice from way back. Mebbe 50 years ago Readers Digest published an article about how much snipping and splicing was involved in producing any pop record out there before the digital age (quite a lot). Tony Orlando never met Dawn till they made the top 10 or something like that.
Similarly, the suit against George Harrison over My Sweet Lord was a travesty. How many pop songs are copies of others? Tons.
I am extremely grateful for this link in any case -- Britney et al are frauds AS HUMAN BEINGS, and if exposure as lousy singers disaffects any fans, it's progress. To HELL with them all, all the mass entertainment judas goats!
