| | POP MUSIC POPULAR SINGING TALENT AND MUSICAL SHOWCASE - SIMON COWELL LOUIS WALSH SHARON OSBOURNE - SOLAR COLA, COKE, ... |
 | | Successful pop music--which is usually measured in terms of its commercial success, without any regard for broader artistic merit--is usually performed by charismatic performers who may or may not be musically talented but who look attractive, are fashionable, and usually are able to dance well. |
 | | In most of pop music, the record producer is a major contributor--sometimes more important than the artist--who chooses the songs and shapes the sound of the music. |
 | | Though most of today's manufactured pop stars have been shaped to fit the image and style of these more famous and successful stars, these older stars were all from a period before Milli Vanilli and all have legitimate musical talent of their own, as writers, producers, and/or instrument-players. |
