You are guaging different types of talents agains one another and blindly assuming one is superior to the other. Dance is an artform unto itself, as is vocal ability and song writing. Some specialise in one (Bob Dylan), some do a mix (Justin Bieber), and some even do it ALL splendidly (Kate Bush, Prince). It's pretty arrogant and dismissive to claim the talents you value as superior to others.

I don't think many Pop superstars care one bit about making music (the most egregious offender being Kesha), at least not in the same sense that most of the people on this forum want to discuss.

You would be surprised.
