Dirty Pop - Netflix doc on Lou Pearlman

Only halfway through, but very interesting. I’ve not heard of half of these groups, Backstreet and NSync really were his only big successes right?

Oh I do remember them, I don’t think they are mentioned in the doc, O-town came up, and a group called Natural who I’ve never heard of but seemed to have a few hits.

Erik from O-Town was interviewed, still hot.

Sad that none of the boy banders have been brave enough to admit if they were abused.

This Vanity Fair story. Staying silent protects these guys.

Yes, of course OP, only people you have heard of can be considered successes.

R6 well I’m British so that’s probably why.

They did well enough that a lot of guys from the second and third-tier bands still have careers of some sort and reunions. Learn how to use Google, OP.

The Vanity Fair article is much better than the doc--there was a lot more to what he did and the airline actually had planes (leased from someone else), just not a lot of them.

Insta Ho and DL favorite Ashely Parker Angel came from O-Town - a Lou Perlman group.

I watched it this weekend. I thought it was going to be about him being pedo creep. I had no idea he ran a huge Ponzi Scheme.
