Everyone start buying lots of Led Zeppelin, Queen, R.E.M, and Nirvana albums!

LOL. Katy Perry can't even get on one of MJ's pitches without croaking, i like her but she can't sing.

And people like this music because it's "Cool" to like this music, most of them would never go to their live shows.

*shrugs*
I'm not going to be delusional and say that she's more influential or more talented than MJ, but I prefer her work over his.

I don't like either of them

As previously mentioned, popular music has never been more accessible to the masses than it is right now. And that author is trying to spin that as a bad thing. Poor journalism.

Her studio (edited vocals) work isn't god awful like most of todays pop artist and she does try to be creative in some aspects (before LAdy gaga and Nicki Minaj).
But like you said she's neither more influential or more taleneted than MJ.

Disagree, he's 100% right.
You'd rather buy A Justin Bieber discology over Zeppelin or Queen?

Matt's point is that those kids that like Beiber and Ke$ha today probably would have liked Queen and Zeppelin just fine if they were kids at that time. Kids are, well, sorta stupid. They like what they're told to like. We all did when we were kids. (Just admit it) The reason popular music sells better now is that instead of having to schlep down to the record store (such things barely even exist anymore), you can get your fix of popular music with a couple of mouse clicks or tablet taps or whatever else you do on these newfangled devices.

Makes me wonder if The Bieber has a beaver.
