I am saying the same thing, essentially. So tell us about your passion for your song or your artist, just don't frame it as "this artist can olny be shown as amazing if I debase another artist. What does hating the Gaga have to do ith loving Kelly Clarkson, or visa versa? It is something I don't understand.

You don't have to like the music you do, but I don't have to devalue your passion for it either
