Wanna be a Famous Pop Star?
Believe it or not, Talent isn’t even required. Sadly, popularity seems to be the key mixed with Auto Tuning. Now, I know some of you are going to disagree with me however, THIS SONG BELOW is NOT TALENT:
The ONLY reason it has popularity is because of the catchy beat and a few creative lines within it. THEN – Add a blonde with tousled hair (and MORE Auto Tuning) and you have a hit.
Sadly, it will sell a single or two, however, this artist will be shelved and never heard of again in a decade from now.
Many may hate Lady Gaga and criticize her theatrics however SHE HAS TALENT. The girl can sing without Auto tune and can also write and perform with many instruments. She has more talent than any of the current Pop Stars and I will bet you money that in 10 years, she will still be going strong.
What it boils down to is this…Looks and Auto tune may get you to the top, however, IT WON’T KEEP YOU THERE. In order to maintain and stay on top, you MUST have the talent and a strong team behind you. Even the strongest team with mediocre talent (and scandal) won’t sell records…it will just keep you HOT within the headlines of TMZ.
Oh – And need more proof of Lady Gaga’s Talent? Check her performance below of the same song…She ACTUALLY sings…not lip syncing with music…and imagine this – she can dance and play the piano – unlike many others.

i dunno. kesha does have a lot of personality. that’s very marketable. she could be like britney spears but cast in a different light. the question is if her “wild child” image is really ENOUGH to make her stand out. i think normally it would be if SOMEONE hadnt put lady gaga’s video right next to hers. lol i call it the Gagacalypse. everything in the music industry will have to be better to maintain public attention in a post gaga world. but i could just be too much of a fan of lady gaga. there have been spectacular artists before her whose presence allowed for the growth and prosoperty of talentless mannequins. the thing is that those artists have never really been in THAT field. i think lady gaga has surpassed madonna in many ways. and i dont believe madonna’s last record was very popular in the US.
