Britney could be a good singer, if she were trained as such, instead of focusing on being a performer. I think there should be a balance between the two, but today's industry focuses far more on flashy performances, not the quality of the music.

I love a good pop record if the songs are catchy, well written and colorful. Dropping the snobbery about pop was one of the wiser things I managed to do as a young and arrogant music geek. I'll unironically consider Katy Perry's 2017 Witness a very good album. There's probably plenty of auto-tune on it, but pop of that kind concerns itself with different goals than, say, a folk singer record. Artifice is not just allowed, it's almost a goal in some cases.
