S Club 7 for the New Generation

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.
