Sorry if I offended you EdZeppelin. I was simply sharing my opinion b68on how Kelly Clarkson encompasses the sad state that popular music is in today. I wanted to come back to this thread that spawned a discussion over many months to reiterate my points.
If you are a fan of KC (or perhaps work for her label) then by all means enjoy her stale, formulaic music and don't listen to the opinions of those that actually care about any of the qualities that makes music interesting and original. I can understand if it bothers you that others insult something you enjoy. I just can't understand how someone can enjoy a catalog of songs from the same artist that re-use the same formula over and over, but I guess that's the difference between us. It just makes me sad that you and so many others are willing to accept the sad state of music that popular music is in today, rehashing the same meaningless, banal gibberish-laced lyrics and the same simple chord progressions and melodies that I would expect most five year-olds would become bored with in a short matter of time.
Anyway, I'm not sure who is the troll here since all you did on your post is rant about my posts with no specific reason except to sound like a whiny, belligerent jerk. You didn't express any opinion about the topic whatsoever so what is your point of posting here? If you don't like the topic then butt out.. troll! -

Anyway, it's refreshing to see a new young artist such as Lorde come on the scene and have success. Maybe she will start a pop music trend back in the right direction.
To me Lorde is not all that different from mainstream. When I think of someone with different sounds it more like Imegan Heap, Lykke Li, Lia ices or Fiona Apple new cd.
Here are there songs if you don't know their music.

Lorde isn't all that bad but she isn't unique so I am in agreement there.
I saw a review comparing her to Nirvana as she was leading a new way that is an "alternative" to the common airplay. The irony of that is, Nirvana wasn't unique as there were many other doing alternative or grunge (depending on how you want to think about it) at the time. It was more of who from Seattle broke on a national level first or that has always been my take.
What if Alice in Chain's Man in the Box had hit first?

I ask good people, I don't want to sing with crap people
I think this is the most telling quote. She seems to have a hard time finding people who are good enough for her.
And. After the issues with Clive Davis and Ryan Tedder. Yeah, there is a reason that no one wants to work with her.

Didn't she fire a guitarist on stage? Rather unprofessional if you ask me. I guess one thing they don't teach on American Idol is that you do business off stage.
I'm not suprised no one wants to work with her. Other than that one country guy who was likely coerced into it by the record company at the dawn of the breakout period of his career. In a way you can compare to the Beatles Pete Best/Ringo scenario.
I feel like I'm a very nice person that you might want to sing with me.
People who often go around telling people they are nice usually aren't. On the contrary they tend to be sociopathic or have anger issues. In the latter case it's clearly denial.
I don't know about you guys but I'd rather be in the studio with a sociopath then a prima donna with anger issues. -

Very correct! And before it is said, I never claim to be nice.
