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:

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.)

      @Theroddd She’s incredibly talented, yet (aside from Here/Scars to your beautiful/Stay) completely underrated.

      Which is a huge shame, because IMHO her best work is what she’s released after the Know-it-all album.

      There’s also some real hidden gems in her discography, including tracks like Seven Days.

      Hopefully, her next era (which is hopefully on the way) performs better.

        I admit I haven’t listened to too much of her less popular stuff. I will check it out when I have time. Thank you.
