Pop music is processed in the studio, edited and chopped up so no two lines are from the same take, The Pop star just lends their name and image to the to the album which was most likely also created by the recording company. They don't write the songs, they can rarely sing the song all the way through without a mistake. Is this Bad? Not exactly.
It's sad to see that a pop star with millions of dollars to buy catchy lyrics and hire producers gets more acclaim than a songwriter that sings all his own lyrics and plays his own music. I'm not saying there's no talent in the pop music business, I'm just saying the true artists aren't the people you see, it's the producers.
The pop music is totally different than any other music but it's expected to be played the same way all other music is expected to be played, live on stage. It can't be.
