Personaly I think all this bashing of a pop singer on the worlds premier guitar website is a little odd to say the least. Most pop singers hold a fancy guitar, its just business after all. If she had claimed to be a killer guitarist, then maybe I could see why this discussion might take place. I dunno I guess it just seems a little crazy to me considering the pages of top professional players we have discussed on this forum Just my two cents +1 - I totally agree! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

For all of you fawning over her song writing ability, the first single off her album found her in a lawsuit with the 70's power pop group the Rubinoos for being remarkably close to their single "Boyfriend". Ready, here's the chorus "Hey, You, I wanna be your boyfriend". Strange isn't it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXjnorJE5E as for my opinion, my disgust is not with the musician who is profiting from their music, but for the record companies that use MTV and radio stations to literally force this stuff on people and make it popular. You ever hear a song on the top 40 radio station which you thought was absolutely miserable but it gets heavy airplay? That's not a top 40 song, but they're going to make it one through repetition. No, my disgust is for the public who buys into the 300 bands that sound like some hybrid of Nickelback/puddle of mudd/staind/etc which lets these musicians get away with using a tried and true formulaic approach to song writing. Of course pop is always going to be somewhat nauseating to any male over 18, but I won't fault her for making a living being a musician. Pop music just reminds me of the old cliche "Think about how stupid the 'average' person is, then realize that half of the population is dumber than him" I mean look at those boy bands that were hot stuff at the turn of the century (the more recent turn of the century )... -------------------- "King V" enthusiast
