Australia's latest manufactured music star—stocked with invisible quote delimiters—failed to pounce upon debut the number one spot in the singles chart as read by ARIA. Melbourne's Kayne Taylor looked set to be the next number one with a bullet to his head on leaving the reality kitchen karaoke show, Popstars Live. Diminishing audience numbers of the show and a stark absence in the commercial radio playlists most likely cause for the effect.
Releasing the single Heartbreaker only a week ago, its mark at number eight in the chart has led to a foul representation and fetid stench toward the passive and zombified viewers. Viewers who in the past lives of such generated music personalities as Bardot, Scandul'us and Scott Cain, have gone on to reward their own habits by making the resultant product a number one hit charts-wise. That there were any left hanging out at the stores with knowledge of who to ask for remarkable in itself.
Demolitions of nurseries care less than the mark and it would seem as though the shine, now a dull linoleum square with many scratches from sliding chairs, has bared the soiled ground underneath.
