This is pop music we're talking about here. When has it ever not been phony baloney?

I think Jerry Seinfeld was right when he sad they should've left off the second "A" in her last name.

Not ALL pop music is phony BS. Artists like Imogen Heap and Bjork write intelligent music with real emotions.

Lady Gaga's act is garbage that's being passed off as high art (mostly due to her over-the-top image), and that's what pisses me off so much about her.

Really? Please, provide some examples of people who pass her music of as "High art". Everyone i know to acknowledges that it's electronic based pop music. Nothing "artistic" about it in the least.

I would not consider Bjork to be a pop star in the traditional sense. Does she even have any hits? Her albums are well known, but she certainly flirts with the experimental side of pop music. She's a completely different animal to Gaga.

Comparing Bjork to Gaga is like comparing an apple in a swan dress to an orange in cigarette sunglasses.

WTH??? Imogen Heap and Bjork are ALTERNATIVE artists. Not POP artists. So your comparisons are ridiculous. Lady GaGa is pure pop. And she is great at it. One of the best right now. You know who is the worst pop artists right now. That girl Ke$ha. Or who I like to call Tra$ha.

i agree
artists like pink and christina aguilera are extremely talented,so talented that they seem ridiculous doing pop. christina a. should be doing like soul music and pink should be doing REAL rock,instead they do stupid pop.
