You might expect me to be the last person to criticize a boyband (NKOTBSB 4-eva!!!), yet here I go. Though I love that there is a boyband resurgence, I must take issue with the ubiquitous One Direction hit "What Makes You Beautiful." I understand the appeal: the target audience for this group is awkward-age girls who don't feel pretty. Of course they want to hear that they're actually beautiful, even if they don't realize it. So many girls need to believe that there's a swan just waiting to emerge from the ugly-duckling facade. So yay, One Direction--you're making girls feel good about themselves! But hold on--something isn't right here.
