So who’s your favourite pop star?
Now there’s a shiny new Lemmy group up and running at @popheads (Mastodon users: follow it if you want more discussion of pop music in your Mastodon feed), it’s time to ask who’s your favourite pop star? Do you have a favourite song or album?
My current faves are:
Alessia Cara: Perhaps the most talented and certainly the most underrated of the current crop of pop stars. She’s fallen out of the limelight the past couple of years, which is a pity, because there’s some excellent songs on her recent albums:
Willow Smith: Done some really great songs recently:
And some all-time favourites:
Prince
John Farnham (but only his Whispering Jack/Age of Reason/Chain Reaction '80s to early '90s run)
Janet Jackson, and most of the broader Jackson family. (Jermaine, Rebbie, and TJ in particular have some hidden gems in their discography.)
In no particular order here are a few I’m loving right now:
Favorite liar - The Wrecks https://youtu.be/_kHjDNHEU5o
I dare you - The Regrettes https://youtu.be/WOgQpjARYyc
Hot mess-Zoe Clark https://youtu.be/ZLH4s-15wd4
Sorry to your next ex- Haiden https://youtu.be/h4iGcN01Bu8
IDGAF - Boywithuke https://youtu.be/Q1QcLbkYFaM
Also love Bruno Mars, Pink, Selena Gomez and many others (some I left out because they may be too far out side of pop, though I’m not what exactly they would be)
Some of these may push “pop” since it’s such a big, vague category. If you want please let me know and I’ll remove!
