she clearly tries real hard and seems to take her act seriously.

and she sings well.

and then ppl ask you to name a greater current act, assuming you can't. and if you do they'll point out that whoever you named hasn't been in the biz for as long. or hasn't crossed over like B has. or is somewhere below B on the list of who's dominating right now. it's like she's 'great' by default b/c there's no greater act around right now.

...that seems to be enough for many/most who call her great. it's never about how much her music moves anyone.

fuck you.

"Love on top" might be one of the only, maybe the first song from her
Oct 20th 2011

ppl have collectively willed her to greatness

Oct 21st 2011
35
      You're obviously not a 12-32 Y.O. woman
Oct 21st 2011

Oct 21st 2011

Oct 21st 2011
42
                     You just defined Pop Icon
Oct 21st 2011
43
                          I was responding to the point about the music output, though.
Oct 21st 2011
46
                               exactly.
Oct 21st 2011
49
                                    which is more of an indictment of Pop Music
Oct 21st 2011
51
                                         I've got 0 problems with kids liking her.
Oct 21st 2011
54
                                              Because the pop music landscape is so awful
Oct 21st 2011
57
                                                   so why can't we just say this: "nobody is really great right now."
Oct 21st 2011
