Embarrassing fawning by Norton. He sneers on his radio show about proper stars and legends, and then acts like that in the presence of that rather risible little twit.
Never met him but I talk to his mum a few times in the past. He used to be a decent kid with genuine talent but fell for some dodgy advice which lead him off the rails. Sad really.
Ah the old "what age should you make people stars" problem. I remember discussing Hanson with Steve Greenberg when MmmBop was a hit. He really regretted putting the youngest (drummer?) through the music star machine. There definitely are huge problems (Michael Jackson) forcing kids into the strange life style (worst of all; incredible work load, giving them no time to relax and have fun). It's an individual thing I guess; depends on the kid and the family. Jimmy Osmond seems to have suffered no ill effects whatever.
Well he seems to be winning the public back, people I wouldn't have expected to say his name without spitting are now listening to his music. This week he's made chart history with 17 songs on the chart, he's hot right now due to putting out good music and he appears to be forgiven for his previous childish behaviour.
