LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - This year's annual Wango Tango concert from Los Angeles Top 40 radio powerhouse KIIS-FM was filled with typically predictable dull pop acts, a few fine surprises and a criminal performance from Janet Jackson (news).
(snip)
The afternoon's surprise came with a spunky delivery from TV star Hilary Duff (news), introducing the large young teen contingent in the crowd to the Who's "My Generation" and bringing out older (and somewhat more tarty) sister Haylie for a bouncing version of the Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed." Duff's kid-friendly pop rock actually comes off far more honest than, say, the punkish teen posing of an Avril Lavigne (news).
"American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken came off way too impressed with his own stardom, while every song seemed to sound the same as he stretched words and demonstrated no comprehension of phrasing with his grating whine of a voice for the most cloying pop song fodder imaginable. The young girls love him, though, probably because he's so safe and nonthreatening, devoid of any sexuality whatsoever. Still, even worse was a wretched turn by 'N Sync (news - web sites)'s JC Chasez (news), his overtly sexual cavorting with female dancers sure to make parents with younger children distressed. Ugh.
