I think a lot of people have voids. Rather than look inside, they would rather look at the next man and hero worship and cheer lead someone successful. And it's success by any means necessary.

A younger dude I knew was talking about how Usher is one of his fav artists and he didn't care for his last album. He especially complained about OMG but he was happy that the single did well for Usher. I'm thinking, why would you be happy your favorite artist is having success making music you don't like? He'll be more likely to make music of the same vein. But this kid's mentality was success is all that matters so I didn't dig too deep.
