I am currently in love with the band Big Time Rush. They are a boy band (making a comeback?) composed of 4 twenty-year-olds, and they have a show on Nickelodeon where they pretend to be 15 year-olds. The show reminds me of that fondly-remembered band S Club 7, and their cheesy, over-acted sitcom. Big Time Rush is similarly cheesy and over-acted, but there is just something about it that appeals to me. Probably, its due to my ironic love of bad music, a la Miley Cyrus and Aly and Aj.
But, I actually like the music of Big Time Rush. Though they try mostly to get by on looks, they do have catchy, sing-along-worthy tunes. Though there is the definite boy band element, the songs get stuck in my head. Plus, they have jazzy choreography, which always gets an A in my book. My current favorite song is "Boyfriend" which is all about how he wants to be your boyfriend. Its sweet, in a borderline-stalkerish kind of way, but more like a puppy following you around than an obsessed, knife-wielding psychostalker. The YouTube link is below, but its not an official video, so don't watch--just put the song on while you pretend to do other things, but find yourself subconsciously jamming along.
