Your unpopular pop opinions

[RJF]

British pop music has been fucking terrible for years though.

Nicola disagrees with you.

 

[RJF]

She shouldn't, but I wouldn't be surprised considering her own album sounded like the work of a tone-deaf person.

Who?

I'm not joking but Betty Boo's two albums are absolutely amazing. She's a brilliant popstar and everything I love about pop music. It gives me true joy to see her albums stacked up on the shelves of That's Entertainment. There for an entirely new generation to obsess over just as I did when I first discovered her life affirming genius. Where Are You Baby? sits snugly alongside Into The Groove and Chewing Gum as one of the most perfect pop songs of all-time.

But Katy B... Unless you're not counting that as pop.

Well that wasn't very nice.

I'd say you all across the pond have all your boxes checked, even if they aren't THE BEST of their category.

Cheryl - the pop star
One Direction - the boy band
Cher Lloyd - the underdog
The Saturdays - the girl group
Rebecca Ferguson - the diva

Most of the best music being played in the US right now is by non-US artists. Where Have You Been and Wide Awake are basically the only iTunes top 10 songs that are by a US artist worth anything.

I love The Wanted. I don't really understand it, but I just can't get past how catchy some of their songs are.

I like The Saturdays more than Girls Aloud. I'm not saying that they are technically better or anything, just stating a personal preference, so please don't get your knickers in a twist.

 

[RHOPJ]

I think The Saturdays are one of the worst pop groups of the last fifty years.

 

[Queen Majesty]

Katy B, Rebecca Ferguson, SBTRKT, Jessie Ware and Yasmin have done some amazing things recently.

 

[StratusJM]

There are about a million amazing British pop people, it's pointless to list becuase you'll miss out a shitload. Jessie J aside (and Rita Ora, is she even British? I honestly don't know but I feel she is), I can't name any British popstar I have no time for. Well OK that's not true. There's a few X Factor-related turds. But that's about it!

On a more random note, 'Without You' is now my favourite Lana Del Rey song. It's SO devastating.

 

[RHOPJ]

Ronika is the best solo female British popstar right now.

 

[Wishlight]

When I first heard them, I thought Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks were british. I was disappointed when I found out they weren't.

 

[Loveplus31]

I think The Saturdays are one of the worst pop groups of the last fifty years.

That's quite the achievement.

The Spice Girls trumps them all though.

Thank you.

 

[Blob]

I think The Saturdays are one of the best girl groups ever.

I find them so stale. Like, there's nothing there to work with.

 

[Blob]

I can see why people would find them boring, however I love all their personalities, all the voices and I just find their musical output incredible.
