"Rolling in the Deep" does not sound like any of Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Katy Perry songs which is trendy and popular right now and she does not look like them either.
I guess we just define what pop(ular) friendly music is differently then. If extremely popular songs weren't pop(ular) friendly, how would they get so popular?
