Is Gwen Stafani the most respected female artist in popular music?

So with that post you've pretty much made your point that you have no knowledge of the subject, no interest in the subject, and no reason to be posting in this thread.


Last time I checked Mariah Carey was #2 on the Billboard charts this week after being #1 last week


You don't seem to understand, I'm not talking about if you respect her, I am talking about the widespread population which, believe it or not, is not represented at all in these boards. The media loves her and the people love her, ECG thinks she is utter shit! OMG NO!

I know what you're talking about, you stupid faggot. It's not respect, it's trendiness, it's flavour of the month-ism.

You're not getting it: you've fucked up the idea of respect and mixed it up with credibility. Gwen Stefani is a more credible artist than Britney Spears, simply because she has a long rock background behind her bubble-gum pop career.

I understand what you are talking about, you're the one who doesn't. There is NO RESPECT in mainstream pop culture. It's a predatory, trend-driven mire of shit, with the media ready to tear apart and gloat over the destruction of artists as quickly as they will build them up.

Mariah Carey is an example, because after every re-invention, the media are more interested in how far she'll flop next, so they can gloat about it.

You're making this a personal thing by saying it's down to me. I'm merely disagreeing with you and you're refusing to argue perfectly salient points by dismissing the argument, despite me showing more understanding of the modern pop market than you have displayed here.
