OK think about this is "POP ARTIST" an oxymoron?

Truly...you are correct...the Pop in this case meaning popular???? Art has been that way for quite a while now huh...It must be an oxymoron...certainly not an onamotepia I guess unless an artist blew themselves up!!!!!!

Ok, when Madonna first hit the big time I was 9 years old. At first I thought it was just jealousy that had me annoyed by her - now I realise that she's just a player and THAT is what's annoying me. E.g. "oh, look at me, I'm into S&M" 15 years' ago, when I bet she's never had so much as a paddle on her rear end (I bet a good spanking would have sorted her out back then - and before). And now it's all bleedin' Kaballah and babies and ripping off Abba songs.\n\nWhile I fully admit that some of her songs are GREAT tunes, I'm laying the praise on the producers that she's been fortunate to work with, because that's who has done the hard work.

I think she is a great performer. She may not be the greatest singer but she can put on a good show. I LOVE her perfume CURIOUS.  As for her parenting we really dont know what the real story is. We all make mistakes she just happens to be in the public eye. She isnt there to be a role model, we should be the ones teaching our children what is right and wrong in life. That is not her responsibility. She has made some bad choices but havent we all. She has the potential for greatness.

Howdy pinky! I think Madonna is trying to concentrate on bringing up her children. She looks great for her age and she can still sing and act. What do you think of actor Rory Emerald and singer/actress Cher? \n(Wonderful question "pinky" keep em' comin'!)

How can you possibly put Queen aginst such crap artists as those?!\nAC/DC maybe, due to them being classic rock\n\nBut the other three will have been forgotten by the end of the decade, I'm sorry, but that's just how it is

well, my wife is a big fan, I'm generally not. that said, there are some modern country genres that get you going (I would tend to label these more "pop-country" if the term exists). I wouldn't say I find country old-fashioned though. A bit jarring and rough around the edges for my tastes perhaps? But then that could be the appeal !

I'm ambivalent about Kanye. Yes he is arrogant.  It's one thing to be extremely talented and be pissed off about not winning an award, it's quite another to throw a long public temper tantrum about it.  he should have said his peace and moved on.  Like he did when he made his comment about Bush. I find it sac religious when he compares himself to Jesus and calls himself the messiah of hip hop.  Artists have been doing that for years.  Puff Daddy Diddy dippy or whatever his name is today was depicted hanging on a cross in one of his videos.  Your parents can tell you that John Lennon got in a lot of trouble for saying "We're  bigger than Jesus" (Beatles reference) I do think his choreography on the grammys sucked.  Obviously if he would have finished college instead of being a "College dropout" he would know what a real step show is supposed to look like. Gold digger is a sexist song but what else do you expect someone so ugly to write about.  In short yes he is very talented but he needs to rein it in just a little.  Like I said I'm ambivalent...

No.  In fact, she's so stupid that I saw her interviewed on TV about the CD.  They asked her what kind of music it was and she didn't understand the question.  Then when they explained it to her by saying, "is it rock, pop, rap, country etc..?) she answered by saying "Oh, it's new."  She thinks she created a whole new genre of music ... Paris Hilton Music!  What a moron!

they're doing what is known in the biz as chemistry therory...if one song made it..then write another that sounds just like it so people will know who the artist is...Nickleback is a good band...Not Great, but good.

I'd like to think so - she is getting as over rated as Paris, Nicole, Kimberley Stewart ........  All 'nothing' chicks.\nThe only talent they have is money and over exposure.\nJessica might 'say' she is an artist but I personally think her whispery voice is CRAP!\nDid you all know that Nick Lacheys latest album has DOUBLED her sales????

You are right. But look at the majority of who the male artists are. Maybe I believe that the female artists just have more dignity and maturity. They want there music to be more. But wait wait a minute, disregard that. Females singers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are practically naked, being dirty and sleazy. So they too are using sex to sell. \n\nMusic industry uses whatever it needs to sell music. So, sex sells. I hate that the all the time, males are the the only gender group aimed at. Not true, I am huge music fan. Most of my pocket money goes directly to music. It is corporate, manufactured music today. Hard now to find real talent. Just cover up (or I mean uncover) those talent-less artists with another focus.

I totallly agree with you.  I asked a question like that a while back and for the most parts it seems like people can't get past their own narrowmindness to look into something a little bit.  I guess it's just easier to say "I like pop, and everything else sucks."  There are certain genres of music that I don't particularly care for but I'm not going to judge somebody or throw out racial comments because they like something that I don't.  I thought music was supposed to be the universal language that brought people together?

I think that it is ok.  But i am more into pop.  Kanye west is the only rapper that i could name a song from.

what hath lynyrd skynyrd wrought? i think that most of what comes out of nashville these days is what would have been called pop music 25 or 30 years ago, crap maybe, but i find the evolution interesting. certainly a lot of  music, no matter what label it's given,has the bottom line of how much cash it's going to bring in, if the person singing it has that attitude or not, and that always waters the music down to it's lowest common denominator. a lot of music i ignore if i don't like it, country or not, even among "artists" that i like. it does seem as if you have to wade through a lot of fluff until you hear something you like, or are turned on to some good music by somebody.  but i'm sure the crap sounds good to some people, and that's okay if i don't get it, as i'm sure a lot of people don't get the first set of the dead at winterland, sf 12/29/77. but yeah, i could do without a song that is nothing more than a sports chant, that's like writing "someone's knocking on the door, someone's ringing the bell."
