It's a good question, and one that I can imagine contributed to their subsequent addiction issues, but I also find it unfair to judge naivete in hindsight. They were two unknown dudes who thought they were getting a record deal for their singing, and was then contractually forced to be lipsyncers instead, so I guess before we can answer your question, there is also the preceding question of, what do we mean by taking the money? Is it reasonable to expect people in those situations to, I dunno, meet their end of the deal without getting anything back in return? It really is pretty sad.Quoting Irish (view post)
