I guess what I like most about pop music is that it is so much fun! It doesn’t usually take too much out of you and you can enjoy the catchy melodies for as long as your tolerance would allow and then forget about it. It’s the best companion during long trips, rv camping, and/or parties.
I tend to stay away from bubblegum pop, but I concur even those have their charm. Generally, I like the music of Michelle Branch/The Wreckers, Sara Bareilles, Rachael Yamagata, and KT Tunstall. And the reason why I watch for American Idol talents with a bit of trepidation is because I still think Kelly Clarkson is the best talent that show has seen. The good news for me is that her latest album, All I Ever Wanted, is significantly better than the last one (My December). The songs still have that angst-driven edge that pushes toward the pop-rock variety, but it is less moody and more sugary. It’s not likely to stay in my mp3 player for the entire year but I’m going to enjoy it while the fun lasts.
@eks, saw that performance on YouTube, too.
I may be biased but ever since I've watched all of Kelly's AI performances in season 1, I've been convinced that this girl is golden.
There have been quite a number of great singers in AI but I like Kelly's edge. She screams POP STAR to me 
my sister shares your opinion.:-) i probably just like a different genre or something.

Posted by gravity at March 25, 2009, 8:36 pmnot that I didn’t like My December. i actually dig it (love pop rock and moody/angst-y songs); was just thinking that AIEW is more commercial and thus can be expected to attract a bigger audience

saw her at AI. she’s good, but i think there are a few (or more) out there better than her.
