Still stuck in 1999 eh?
Sorry, but American pop music has moved on a LOT since you last switched on your radio. Nowadays, American pop has evolved greatly. Innovation has been ruling, listen to all the amazing tracks lately. Hollaback Girl, Say It Right, We Belong Together, What You Waiting For, Hung Up, Unwritten, Maneater, Wind It Up, Irreplaceable, Fergalicious, and these are just the females. Male artists like Rob Thomas, James Morisson, Justin Timberlake, Nick Lachey are not "primary-school" material. Music from here have sales figures to prove that they are "respectable".
I hate it when people instantly associate today's American pop scene with Britney music from the late 90's. How would you feel if I were to think of J-POP in general as Ayu squeaking out Powder Snow and concluding that every J-POP song is the same?
