Negus-putting his theories to our music video

Negus is the person behind the two paradoxes for producing music videos, they are:

1. synthetic--artist that is manufactured by record company
                    controlled
                    usually based around one album which is based on a mass-market (a fad)
                    create short term profits that help the longer projects

2. organic--original
                  natural sounding
                  authentic
                  long-term projects
                  record companies nurture their talent
                
HOWEVER...both paradoxes are commercialised, use advertising to sell the music and shape the way in which the artists' images and careers are developed.

SYNTHETIC - Cheeky girls --> one hit wonders

ORGANIC - U2 --> have been making and selling music for decades that is their own

I want to create an organic look for the band and video that I am going to create because people nowadays are beginning to prefer the sound of the music rather than the image that is created. However, having said that, there is a combination of both today and artists such as Justin Bieber have been constructed by the media BUT are selling millions with original music and was found on YouTube, giving the understanding that a combination is key for a certain target audience, specifically young teenage girls in terms of Justin Bieber.
