True, sometimes an artist like Kylie Minogue (shame on you, TH) or Madonna can inject originality into their music while remaining as catchy as they need to be, but that's really just a bonus that makes them worth listening to over a long period of time rather than two minutes and then moving on to the next faceless clone. If you're going to listen to Britney Spears then you need to quit taking your taste in music so seriously and leave your brain at the door.

And if a song is knocking around in your head after you listen to it then no matter how much you think you hate it some part of you likes it. Stop thinking and let that part have it's fun.
God I know! I can't bloody stop singing "Work bitch" now....
Also: shame on me? Why?

Cause Kylie is one of the few pop artists who actually has originality and substance. She blends disco with dance pop in a way that you really can't get anywhere else. I'm not well versed enough in her music to go on about her, but she's fantastic.

Yeah. I know. I like a lot of her music. Just not all of it. I'm not into dance music but for your sake: "Slow", "Spinning around", "Confide in me", "Light years", "Breathe", "On a night like this", "Can't get you out of my head", "Come into my world", "Red blooded woman", "Chocolate", "All the lovers" = yes"Better the devil you know", "Locomotion", "I should be so lucky" etc = no.I love Kylie. I just don't love all her music. But I seriously respect the woman.
