Unpopular opinion maybe: large numbers of people are capable of having absolute **** taste.

To be fair, large numbers of people didn't want to listen to Chula's band.

**** this thread. Sick of reading **** from people who think it makes them cool and hip to diss on anything popular or commercially successful.
Carry on hipsters.

Logic is pretty difficult to wrap your head around for a radio whore, I understand your frustration Chula.
I rarely think to myself "my god this song is awful, but listen to how balanced those mids are! Brilliant production."

If she has talent I won't deny it. Since I don't listen to her I can only go by what I see other people say. Most people (who like Pop music) think she a strong singer. Almost by consensus of Pop fans and music critics she has a strong voice and a wide range. But she isn't a favorite singer of mine. But you equated good singers to having good songs. I don't see the reverse being true. I know other singers with quieter voices and a smaller vocal range, but still make "good songs," really good songs. The craft of writing recording/releasing preforming"good songs" isn't dependent on technical abilities. Good songs can come from not so good singers.
