And you expected.....?

So what. Pop music is what it is. Take it or leave it.
Lots of other choices out there.

Katy Perry is a lot hotter than MJ though.

Barbra Streisand (even in her prime) and Bob Marley too!

I bet even The Partridge Family outsold most of the more
"Serious" pop acts in their day.

I like TIc TOk. Fun song!

ANd a lot of BEPs as we all know as well, especially Fergie.

I bet Marley would really like the song "Union" by BEPs. It
is very good and a good recording to boot (for that kind of
music):

"[Chorus]
(One for all, one for all)
(It's all it's all for one)
Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one

We don't want war- can't take no more
It's drastic time for sure
We need a antidote and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohammed got a problem with Jehovah
We don't want war – imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think they would view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still livin' primitive today
'Cause the peace in the destination of war can't be the way
There's no way, so people just be a woman, be a man
Realise that you can change the world by changing yourself
And understand that we're all just the same
So when I count to three let's change

[Chorus]

Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What you're saying is the truth that really troubles me
inside
I'd change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears

[Chorus]

I don't know, y'all, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, differences and religion
Why do we keep missing the point on our mission?
Why are we killin' each other, what's the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonise together in this mission
Listen, I know it's really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilising all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I don't understand why it's never been done
So let's change on the count of one

It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then the other follows another one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let's change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing

[Chorus]"
Once Tchaikovski was asked to compose something popular and simple so the general public with basic piano skills (and certainly with no possibilities to get stereo system) would play and enjoy. So he started releasing sheet music published in the monthly magazine for the length of one year.
Anybody has an idea what's the name of this piece? If not, ask for the answer!
I believe that mentioned public realy knew how to appreciate what it takes to make music.
A lot of chamber music was written so groups of amateurs could play it at home.
50 years ago americans were every bit as ignorant as today,
but in more idividualistic manners,dummies today largely cooky-cutter types.
