Their bubblegum music notwithstanding, recent F4 appearances in China have resembled early Beatles films, with out-of-control crowds and packs of swooning teenage girls. The final straw came at a planned concert at a Shanghai mall, when 10,000 fans-10 times the number promoters were expecting-went crazy with anticipation and blocked exits, spurring fears of a Chinese Altamont, albeit one featuring Hello Kitty instead of Hell's Angels.
