    Maybe that’s why 1D is popular right now. Teen girls were ready to latch on to someone else now that the Biebs has a steady gf.

    And Myles did the duet with Haley at Muhammad Ali’s bday bash….

    In case further justification for the clip is needed. ;-)

  • Mateja Praznik

     One Direction boys also have girlfriends. I think Niall is the only one that is single and he is chatting with Demi Lovato via Skype.

  • OffLeash

    But are they “serious” gfs?

    Dating Selena Gomez has done nothing to hurt Biebs’ sales, though. His singles have all shot right to the top of the iTunes chart, and chances are his album is going to have very good 1st week numbers when it drops later this month

    Archie is the only Idol who has really fit the “teen Idol” mode. I think Scotty not being a pop artist works against him, despite him being the right age. P. Phillip isn’t a pop artist, either, which works against him being a “teen Idol”, but he’ll get some coverage in the teen mags — all the Idol winners do, no matter their age or style of music. Jessica will likely get a decent amount of coverage in those mags as well, especially given her age.

    I forgot about that duet, another Idol connection.
    I laugh every time I see him in that movie. It just goes to show all the idols you can have somewhat embarassing early career moments and overcome them and be successful.
    Rock On Thor! lol

    Archie was the perfect combination of Idol + age + genre for being a teen Idol. I agree Scotty’s genre doesn’t work as well. And Phil is already too old.

    Anytime a boyband comes along (and I’m dating myself to Menudo and NKOTB in the 80′s, later on NSYNC, etc), or even a popular teen idol that makes girls crazy theres ALWAYS “a gay one” and they base it on absolutely nothing. I guess its something teenagers find amusing. Tweens still throw the “ZOMG hes so gay” line around to Bieber despite having a serious girlfriend for a while.

    Except 99% of the time it turns out there is a “gay one”

    Menudo – Ricky Martin
    Nsync – Lance Bass
    NKOTB – Jordan Knight

    Do tweens use the phrase “ZOMG he’s so gay” to mean he’s homosexual or just stupid?  hard to say.

    Bieber and the 1D guys have girlfriends. Teens are latching on to both. Bieber’s singles are doing great and he sold out his worldwide tour in 30 minutes. He is doing just fine.

    “I agree Scotty’s genre doesn’t work as well. ”
    ———————————————————
    I´m lost understanding in this one.   From what I can see and judge Scotty is doing extremely well. So what doesn´t  work well ?

     No insult intended, I’m sure…it’s just that pop music rules the teen mags…that, and Disney and Nickelodeon…
