That's what pop is about.

Shes written some crap like all lyricist but overall shes a very solid songwriter minus this album, and if I were to choose the worst song lyrically on the album I could've gone with the Moneymaker. And who says pop can't have good lyrics? Look at Morrissey.
I never said all pop should be shallow, but that's what it is for the most part, mainstream pop anyway. So you shouldn't be so outraged...And I quoted Pitchfork because they gave a very negative review and yet focused on the lyrics as the only positive thing. And apparently they're not the only ones that praise Lewis' abilities...

Thats where I disagree, these songs suck. I'd easily rate this as one of the biggest disappointments of this year.
Ok. Agree to disagree.
