I also hate One Direction, but at least they have they own material.

Music tastes move on to other things, its why those type of acts have such a short lifespan, the fans move on as do the artists who cant justify to themselves singing about teen proms, annoying parents, and first loves.

Actually, now I think about it, are they that band that only do covers? None of their own stuff? In which case I have little respect for them as musicians. Like others have said though, if somebody listens to BTR now, in 5 years time they might listen to an original, love it so much more and become fans of 'real music'.

The others are mostly OK (but I hate the way they pronounce "hand")

I think its OK for BTR to do Beatles covers. Most kids listening will probably eventually find out that the songs are Beatles covers.

No one complains when someone older or high-brow does Beatle covers, so I don't think its fair for anyone to moan when pop boybands also cover the Beatles.

They might not be hardcore but thats not the big end game; its getting their music known and passing it on down the line so its still listened to. However some will.

I don't think that whatever this pseudo boy band is, is going to sway any 12-year-olds' opinion about the Beatles or anything else for that matter.  It's inconsequential fluff with zero nutritional value, no matter what classic acts they cover.  

I'd suggest we don't go looking for the magic bullet of musical appreciation here, folks.  It's not like the 16-year-old dummies who liked the atrocious auto-tuned "Across The Universe" movies became hardcore Beatle fans...

Whilst the covers are more than likely dreadful with zero soul or emotion these bands are getting the beatles out to the kiddies which can only be good. Even if just now its just another song the name beatles will come up and the song will remain in their heads. Later on they start seaching itunes, youtube or wherever, come across beatles make the connection and off they go simply from curiosity. And then the quality of the beatles music kicks in.

Big Time Rush's covers definitely did not live up to my expectations; I was hoping they would stay truer to the originals, but they took the tempo of REVOLUTION, one of the FASTEST Beatles songs, and practically DOUBLED it. I could barely even tell what the man was saying!

I agree with you Mr. Sun King Coming Together, that there is GOOD music to this generation, but most of my peers are oblivious to it, that was my point.

TBF covers aren't the only way to bring the music to a new generation. The September '09 reissues and Rock Band game did exactly what they were intended to do. I know a lot of fans around my age who started getting into them around that point. And in the last few years I've heard Beatles songs increasingly in TV shows and movies. I think their music is still very much in the public conciousness.
