From VH1's top-rated series, a photo-packed, behind the scenes showcase explores the lives of pop culture's dreamiest, steamiest teen phenoms past and present - from Elvis, Donny and Davey to Britney, Justin and Ricky. At some point in history, any one of the names listed above was enough to provoke screaming, fainting and mass hysteria, not to mention the practice of buying a fan magazine for the express purpose of kissing the pictures inside. You didn't need to know their last names for these teen idols to rock your world. From Elvis to *NSYNC, Donny Osmond to Debbie Gibson and David Cassidy to Ricky Martin, VH1 BEHIND THE MUSIC: TEEN IDOLS chronicles five decades of teen scream objects. Featuring a dose of 'Behind the Music' style irony that cleverly echoes the breathless tone and design of teen celebrity mags, the book also looks closely at the surreal world of a teen idol and considers the tragic effects mass adoration can have on an ego and on a career. For each artist profiled, Vital Stats page brings readers right up to date on whether their idol aged gracefully or fell with a clunk to earth after one hit and a lot of media coverage.

This review is from: Teen Idols (Vh-1 : Behind the Music) (Paperback)
DON'T GET ALL THE TEENAGE CRAZES? THEN GET THIS BOOK! AS A PERSONAL IDOL OF MINE SAYS, THIS BOOK IS GRRRRRREAT. AND SINCE ALEISTER CROWLEY WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUME I DO BELEIVE THIS BOOK IS DUE FOR A "NEXT EDITION." STARRING MR. ALEISTER AND MS JENNA BUSH. THIS ONE'S A MUST FOR ANY FAN OF POPULAR CULTURE.
