I feel like Pink has the "celebrity" lifestyle that I would want

she gets the #1 hits/great sales in albums and singles

her personal life is rarely ever touched by anyone bc no one really cares other than the stans (look @ her pregnancy no one really invaded her life over that)

[FreeBitch]

Pink music is meh !

It's the same pop rock with heard over a Decade. She doesnt involve. It's always the same. She's like a Disney girl with more meaningful songs.

Pink makes pop classics though, to be honest

I'm a Kelly fan, but I'll give you the true tea.

Kelly's music is good, safe pop music. That's it. Aside from My December, which is criminally underrated, her catalogue consist of by-the-numbers pop/rock. (**Though I am very happu about the Stronger album, since it seems to be the most real she's been on an album since MD.) It's all very nice to listen to, but nothing innovative and nothing to make her stand out. When Kelly writes her music she'll write about a relationship with her friends or something but then turn it into a bf/gf type relationship just so that the song can be more relatable. I also feel like, instead of trying to make excellent pop music and push boundaries, she's settling for middle-of-the-road pop because she doesn't have too much respect for the genre. (this is all my own assumptions based on things she's said in interviews.)

As for Pink, I feel she was on her way to critical acclaim up until the IND era, but somewhere in the middle she went back to the same generic pop music. I really don't know w/ Pink since I don't follow her.

I know stans of "talented artist" (Kelly, Pink) often look down on artist who have no raw talent (Rihanna, Britney, Ke$ha, Katy) but really, what good is your musical talent as a pop musician, if your music isn't good?

As for Kelly, she never managed to match the momentum she had around her debut album.

?

Her debut clocked in at 3 million WW and her 2nd album 12 million WW.

Am obvious exception.

This thread is going down when kelly's wdky smashes and it's #1 everywhere. And i feel some of you guys are hypocrites. Had the breakaway era(kelly's 5 singles) not smashed every where back then, will you guys say how frigging flawless that era was? And dead @ some of you guys saying how stronger(album) is overly produced. IT's her least overly produce album ever.

I do think that pink is much more acclaimed and respected than any artists even though she's under the radar. Just look at her god damn worldwide album sales! Her greatest hits is closing to 1 million in US already. who is able to do that?

Nobody remembers them. They make the most generic, boring pop/rock music and have shown no growth or variety in 10+ years. They're just cute radio playlist fillers.

[Michael]

It's Alecia Moore. What do you mean she isn't critically acclaimed or respected? Her albums have positive reception and critics rave about her whenever she performs.

[Sushi]

It's simple in my mind:
They are too popular for the snobby, hipster votes.
They are not popular enough to bring in high traffic to a site though.

Its really a shame, since they are both so talented and have very solid discographies.

Sometimes I wonder if it's looks that are holding these two back. They certainly have the top ten hits, sales, and talent to have just as good stats if not better than some of the current pop girls.
Of course, I suppose they only match up best on paper for some reason though.

[Skeleton Boy]

They don't contribute to pop culture. They're the artists that the geeks and outcasts at school like, whereas the cool kids like Beyonce, Rihanna, GaGa.

Because they do pop/rock records...They have good music, but they aren't exactly big artists. TBH, P!nk should be up there with the greats. Kelly is successful, but she doesn't have that star quality about her. But she can sing.

But look at what they are doing now, and it's clear their best work is, at least to this point, behind them.

Did you really expect P!nk to come up with her best work for a GREATEST HITS album? Let's what til her 6th album is released shall we.

[Venus]

Well, people love Pink's music but don't give much of a **** about her. Kelly is just sort of...there.

[JClarkSTAN]

Because they both slay too hard for the masses tbqh.
