Sounds to me that you would like to see the Country field divided between let's call it "Traditional Country", Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, etc., and the new "Country Pop" phenomenon which is more Pop oriented than the classic definition of country music you provided. I feel the same way, it seems that many artists have migrated to the country label to access another market for their pop music and in doing so have diluted the meaning of country music in general.
