I was going to go on and list by list tear these people apart but I got bored. It's all generic pop trash that is nothing special in its genre and alot of cases they're just sacred cows of their crappy spoon fed to the masses mediocre shit so no one is willing to bash them. Madonna is, was and always will be trash, she's just given her trash a new face everytime some corporate big wig thinks it'll sell records. Theres nothing clever or talented about having Warner Bros and spawns of Samhita give you a new face so everyone can make a buck, that's all her music is and thats all the music you listed is. Music made to make a dollar, a product not an art form.

I agree with you 100% with the artists out today especially mainstream is just pure garbage. You pretty much sum everything up.The 90's folks are good that I mention and I know some people I named aren't great great. Janet Jackson is an icon. I will admit her voice isn't all that great and alot of her recent stuff has been crap but she still did what she had to do to get on top. Madonna some of her things are ok, not really into her and yea she's overrated. I would mention the comments but its alot lol and some of them I have to dig back up again. The Wu tang did mention him as an influence. The whole Jacksons family is extremely talented if you look at their old variety shows and all that. All I'm saying is just give the man credit. It seems like nobody whats to give MJ credit anymore... I know his not the greatest entertainer in the world, (to me he is) He is definitly one of them though. I could see if we were talking about some commercial product thats out now but were talkin about Michael Jackson. Just give credit where its due. His a very successful artist that achieved alot and was an influence on alot of artists and Im glad his comin back, thats my main thing. Your pretty much right with the music scene now.
