23. the monkees first manufactured pop group like the x factor usa process

the monkees first manufactured pop group like the x factor usa process, back then though, it was taboo to make a fake pop group, so they made it look like the monkees where organic and friends.

but years later the monkees admitted they had been put together and made by producers to rival the beatles from the uk, so the usa record producers came up with the idea of manufacturing a usa version of the beatles, and that is what they did by creating the monkees, some of them could not even play there instruments to start with.

nowadays though with shows like the x factor usa you get to see how these things are done out in the open, it is all about the manufacturing of products with things like pop stars for the most part it would seem.
