To be popular one must be a mediocrity.

for the most part that is true but you don't have to be.

I disagree with that.

To me it has always been at a constant and seemingly the most popular genre of music,
um.. That is why it is called "pop" for "popular". Anything can be pop music, including rock music if it is popular.

What are you talking about? When Michael Jackson puts on a new album people shun his efforts....
MJ has not had an album since the year 2001. In the world of pop music, that is a VERY long time. Nevertheless, the album still sold over 2,000,000 copies in America alone. That is not being "shunned" by any definition of the word, even if critics did not like the album.

And I wouldn't consider Vanessa Karlton in that category because she is a hardly a "heavy-hitter". She only had one popular CD (which I might add still sold less than the MJ CD in question). Plus, she along with Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne are credited with taking pop away from the "traditional" way- such as the "Backsteet Boys" and "Spice Girls".

number of albums sold doesn't equal quality of album.....everyone that bought the album was purely because of his name....they were disappointed with the results and actually agreed with the critics. That is being "shunned"

Whether you like it or not....Vanessa Carlton is Pop, along with Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne. There is no such thing as "traditional" pop. Just like you said earlier....pop is whatever is popular at the time.....regardless of genre. Look at the Top 40. Every artist on the Top 40 Billboard list is Pop.
