Joss Stone is the only female artist who comes to mind and has virtually no critisism against her from anyone.
She is far more respected than Gwen. She is not only the only pop star, but the only pop star of the last 5 year and the only femalepop star of the last 5 years to make it into nearly all of my friends CD collections.
Brody Dalle is the most credible pop star in my eyes, i push alot into the pop pursuasion these days because sugar coat it all you want, you have to hear music from somewhere to like it, and it is usuallya mass media source such as radio, tv or cd. If you are popular, you are a pop star.
I don't believe that there is ever a right and wrong in a musical argument. If the songs are bad, people don't listen to them. You may not personally choose to listen to something, but you can't sit and devalue its credits, for instance, Whatcha Waiting For has a catchy hook and shows off Gwens vocal talents, which I believe she has. May not be straight forward sing to the melody stuff, but takes talent.
I personally think the listed bands which most of you posters time after time rave about, are not good to listen to, and you have all learned to have the same opinion and in many ways trained yourselves to like them, because I don't like them, doesn't mean I dont think they are talented, its just my taste.
All in all, Im saying that Gwen isn't shit, you people just don't like her.
Everyone looks into music too much. Fact is people such as queen, beatles, bowie, are doing exactly the same thing as robbie williams, justin and the backstreet boys. You are all gonna slam me but all these people everyone has grown up on were justthe most popular of the time, in the same way the icons were.
Rant over. Everyone start to hear the merit in everything they hear, don't hate, apreciate.
