"I get an aching pain when I watch [reality TV stars]." --Taylor Hanson

During Tinted Windows' visit to the Interface, the supergroup's frontman dished on the Susan Boyle phenomenon, adding, "the idea that somebody has a big red button that they're going to push and make someone a star is so scary."

I agree that watching shows like 'American Idol' or 'Britain's Got Talent' are very painful to watch. I don't believe television producers or the public have the right or the knowledge it takes to make a person a star. I feel that should be left to the record label personal who know what they are doing. I also know that there are many talented people out there who get passed over because of where they fall in the audition process. My daughter was told at an American Idol audition that she had a beautiful voice but would not get past the round because they had already chosen enough talented people and were only looking for people Simon could pick on. Pretty lame...

Anyway, it's nice to see Taylor out from behind the keyboard and performing again. I've missed the voice...still miss Zac and Isaac though...

I would think that Taylor knows better than most about the effects of suddenly being catapulted into stardom. I'm sure he has very good reason for finding it frightening.
