(Don't worry... those of you who read this Blog often know I won't fill this post up with "Eden's Crush are hot!" discussion - although band member Rosanna Tavares is very attractive to me. They are mostly under 20; I'll be 34 in May. My name isn't René Angelil)
First off, I do consider the girls more talented (I like their first hit), but more importantly, they seem more dedicated.
Consider the difference: on Popstars the ladies were under tight deadlines to perform, and they did it. They still haven't let success get to their heads (at least in the show);
In the case of Making the Band, the guys have acted like they are already stars from day one. They blew practices; they ignored requests from their bosses; almost every episode had trainers chewing them out for their disregard for the actual work they had to do.
A second season starts next week; too bad it's stuff from the past year, or I suspect we'd see them feeling like idiots in comparison.
