Madonna blasts manufactured pop

Can't make a news post out of this so here you have .

I certainly did enjoy reading this short article, I just can't stand girls following "pop stars" that don't even feel their own music:

Pop superstar Madonna has criticised the trend for manufactured pop acts and the recent stream of TV talent searches.
She said the pop world had become "homogenised", and accused record companies of putting marketing ahead of talent.

In an interview with Q magazine, Madonna, 44, also criticised the idea of craving celebrity status for its own sake - rather than achieving it through ability.

Referring to shows like Popstars and American Idol, she said: "I arrived at a different time - before the time of svengalis holding talent searches; finding a girl that looks right and can carry a tune and then figuring a way to market her."
