I'll admit there used to be talent involved in pop.  I think that's why I listen to alot more 80s pop than I do today's (yes, another guilty pleasure of mine)  Artists like Adele and Lana Del Rey are about as close as I get to pop today, just because they have so much talent and charsima.  Adele's got that soulful voice that just pulls you in and Lana... I can't get enough of her.  Her whole early 60s vibe she's got going on plus that dark and haunting edge she's got to such a beautiful singing voice... :wub  *slapped*  But yeah, the industry today is just so...so fucking shallow! Dx  It really reminded me alot of the 80s metal scene in LA, but even then bands still had to have talent.  The record companies are focused more on image.  They want supermodels who can barely carry a flat tune because they look good, not because they can sing good or play guitar or whatever!  No, as long as they look sexy (and let me tell you even for a guy I do not find anything attractive about Nikki Minaj or Katy Perry) they can keep cranking out the same mass produced bullshit over and over! Dx

I think that's why I'm such a diehard metalhead, because even if some bands are on huge record labels and whatnot, they still don't lose their soul and their drive to make kick ass, true to the bone music the way they want to.
