    I'm probably in the minority here but I thought Katy Perry was awesome at the halftime show. It was silly and entertaining with some cool production values while Missy Elliot stole the show. I miss Missy. I do tear up when I hear "Firework".

    I refuse to believe there are people in the world who have the ability to dislike this song. Je refuse!



    Also, Lady Gaga's "You and I" gives me chills and hits more feels than most rock bands do for me.

    And I am EXTREMELY pleased with the way in which Miley Cyrus has grown up and branched out career/music-wise.

    Yeah but it's Rolling Stone, who cares. That magazine hasn't said or done anything of relevance in 20 years.

    peaches's newest is good, but a little off the pop plain.

    i'm obsessed with nick jonas's new song "levels." plus he's, like, totally dreamy.

    *feeling like a dirty old man*

    Have you heard the new Grimes album? She has gone pop and it's a great effort.

    Honestly all four songs have been incredibly surprising to me. Like, I doubt I'll BUY the album or anything, but it might actually get streamed a few times. Something I never thought would happen. I mean, you gotta give the kid credit. He's clearly trying to make something meaningful, and you can't fault him for it.

    Anyone here been to see Rihanna live and vouch for it being good? She's playing Cardiff with The Weeknd as guests, I've never been to a full on pop show when they're at the height of their fame (except U2 and the Pop tour). Anyway they're on sale next week so I'll do some Spotify listening this weekend to make a decision

    New Grimes is pretty sweet although I would have preferred the mixing to be a little slicker. Venus Fly, Art Angels, Easily are the jams.

    I don't know if she's technically "pop" or not, but I'm seriously hooked on Meg Myers right now. I've watched some live videos and.....eh, probably wouldn't ever go to a show. But I'm hooked on a number of tracks on the album "Sorry".

    anyone else see katy perry on snl last night? i've never been a fan, never really cared. her first performance, "swish swish," was really awesome. and i love the song, sounds like a house track from 1992. and the kid with the backpack was oddly hypnotizing.

    No audio where I was at, but did see her. What's up with the Miley Cyrus look? Her popularity is huge so don't get why she was going for that look. She has to be aware that would be a topic of discussion.

    I read from an article from Entertainment Weekly that part of the reason she cut her hair is that she was going through some personal things in the last few years and she was also upset over some of the political aspects of the world and some things relating to fame. In a way, she's kind of lashing out at herself. I didn't like the first single she did but I still like her stuff.

    I also need to commend the guys at Loudwire when I listened to their rant on Linkin Park as they were not dismissive towards pop music as they admit to liking Beyonce and Adele and said some positive things about their music. They also trashed on Linkin Park for not doing anything new to the pop realm with their new record.

    OK it's summer, so pop:

    Love me some Sia.




    Been also discovering Grimes' Art Angels, great stuff, surprised it took me so long to get into this album:




    Neon Jungle. Sadly this band has already split up:






    Zara Larsson. I like this song, despite its blatant Rihanna-isms, but can't get into the rest of the album.
