The two experimented with musical styles and played with various musicians until meeting Jeremiah Healey, and the Haysi Fantayzee line-up was set. What most troubles me is when it seems to be far too easy to for any old act to achieve pop stardom - when the right look or the right gimmick propels an act up the charts, regardless of the quality of the music. Like everything else, the music industry goes in cycles.
Pop music gets stupid and dull, then somebody does something new and shakes things up.
So then the industry goes running around trying to reproduce the new sound. The result is a ton of acts like Hanson and Britney Spears and Emimem, effectively making the new sound just as stripped down and dull as what they were throwing at us before. Of course not, because half of that crap is just as watered-down as the latest Christina Aguilerra single. Finding good music is hard these days - I know, because I'm constantly trying. The key, I think, is not to settle with what's being thrown in your face.
