I'm currently REALLY confused right now.

For the past few days, I've been arguing with people on 9gag who disses Hip-Hop and Pop artists. I don't enjoy listening to all of the artists insulted.

Their arguments always contain a very common thing :

"Those artists don't have talent."

I plan on finding an argument to counter them but I'm not sure what to say anymore about that "talent" thing.

I want to use this : "I don't care about talent as long as I enjoy the artist's material."

I really hesitate on saying this because I'm not sure if I really do feel that way.

I listen to some genres that many teenagers like : Hip-Hop, Pop and R&B.

Among the artists is Jason Derulo who is probably one of the most hated pop singers right now. People say that he doesn't have talent and that I have bad taste. Yet, I listen to artists a lot of people praise for their vocal talent such as Miguel, The Weeknd, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, etc....

So, that's where I don't know the answer to why I like Jason. His songs please me and I love his vocals too even though he's not the best, but people still say : "Computer music isn't talent; He doesn't have any talent."

Well? Do I enjoy this singer because I see a musical talent in him or is it just because I like the songs he sings ?
