I honestly think that this is a very good show that needs a bit more credit. For starters, I believe that they're all really good actors. Although they may seem stereotypical, unlike the stereotypes, they actually learn the lesson taught at the end of the day. Often times, I can't help but notice people nitpicking at the characters. The whole point of the story, I believe, is to point out that pop star life within there privacy isn't all that different from our own. They're still teenagers(except for Zora), do teenage things(except for Zora), and have teenage tendencies(except for... you get the picture). Tawny is still the self-centered girl, Nico and Grady are the typical, but funny, boys, Chad is still the slightly stuck up teen heartthrob, Zora is still the quirky smart kid, and Sonny is still the kind, natural leader that leads everybody else in the right direction (intentionally or not). Is it just me, or am I the only one who has noticed that these teenagers, albeit stars, are practically reflecting our own lives? If that's the case, we really are hypocrites *laughs*. In a nutshell, this show is great, well fleshed out characters, great acting, good childish humor (even if not as amusing to older teenagers. That's to be expected), and an all around good message for all, including teens that don't look between the lines often. :P -444
