There's someone in the band for everyone.

Īlana: Yeah, although sometimes they all just seem to like the cute one! The idea is that different boys appeal to different girls, so you can have a bigger fan base. Presenter: Right, the cute one, the rebel, the joker, the shy one, mysterious one. The most important element, however, was said to be that the band members had different and very distinct personalities. They tended to wear the same, or very similar clothes when they performed, so you had to decide on a 'look' for the group. The traditional formula is that you have four or five good-looking young guys with some musical ability and the ability to dance – the choreographed dancing was very important to boy bands in the past. Alana, it can't be as easy as following a formula, can it?Īlana: No, I don't think so.

But many bands appear and disappear without a trace. Presenter: The internet is full of articles about what makes a good boy band.
