JUDGE POP vs Akon

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Never let it be said that JUDGE POP is prejudiced by genre as he goes about his crime-busting duty on the streets of MEGA CITY POP. The eye of the law is on every citizen, eldster or juve, indie or R&B, and this week it's fallen upon Akon.

[Poll #985797]

Will Akon join Patrick Wolf and the Klaxons in the cubes? Or will he walk free? Over to you!

The exception to the rule?

This is one of those cases were familiarity breeds the opposite of contempt. The more you are exposed to his songs, the harder it is to dislike him. His very success, ubiquity, whatever, is his saviour. (In short, the kids on the bus win.)

I'm struggling to think of any other act to which this applies.

For me, Linkin Park. Kids on the bus I encounter are nuts for them and overexposure has bred a grudging respect in me, and sometimes active liking.

Fall Out Boy! This may just be me.

It's not just you, buddy. Except I started liking them, and now I appear to be obsessed.
