many scholarly analyses can be picked out of this, i swear
Cartilage Head:
Sir, I could not pick a scholarly BOOGER out of this balderdash.
Jimor:
As part of the Hollywood field trip sponsored by my college's film/tv department, we saw a taping of America's Got Talent. One act was a 14-year-old Justin Bieber wannabe (his first name was even Justin), and another was a 13-year-old wannabe Taylor Swift. Another act was a teen rock band that I swear looked like Loverboy from the 80s.
They were decent, and possibly had potential, but there were ominous hints that they were following their parents' dreams more than their own. Even if the passion is their own, I don't think what they were exposed to is helpful. At the end of the day, all of the music acts, adult or teen, at the taping were at BEST, equivalent to the b-list in any decent local scene. I have far more respect for anybody working their way up with their own material at the local open-mics than any packaged artist.
As for ARK, I think I heard that same rapper on several of the tracks. I'll have to see if I can remember the e-mail I used for my crabcorefan youtube account to sign in and find out what the deal is on that site. I used to be part of earlier efforts to track down and expose scam literary agents and publishers who'd take starry-eyed writers for tens of thousands of dollars.

I suspect that the rapper guy is also the producer. It'd be great if it was just one dude, and he wrote the lyrics to the songs using some sort of automated shitty lyrics generator.
Inlander:
I remember in the nineties having a rap bridge in the middle of a really mainstream crappy pop song was pretty much de rigeur. Is that still the case, or is this song just a throwback?
Because that was a really horrible trend. Oh look, here's a classic example! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ByNROf8v-Q
Lummer:
Yeah, that trend is right up there with religious genocide, bubonic plague and sideways baseball caps in terms of things best kept in the past forever.
