As long as you see it as a form of entertainment that's fine, but some people here thrive off it based purely on ignorace and slam others music tastes in the process. Bringing up pop is a red herring. Pop isn't the problem, the disease of ignorance is.
When you say an artist is better purely because they have sold more records, then yes, you are suffering from this disease.
If you want to like pop as entertainment, fine. I like pop. But don't go saying people like Britney Spears and Jedward have artistic merit, because they don't. That's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.
They are entertainers, not artists.
