Let's see which direction the Poptimist compass is pointing!

I expect everyone to like r&b though especially poptimists, this is rather optimistic I admit. Nash/Harris/Pigeon Detectives are all really genuinely awful, none of our handwavey references to them are out of proportion in the slightest!

The other small factor here is that they really are astonishingly successful. With the kidz, etc.

I like pop. I really, really dislike new-style R&B. (As opposed to Rhythm & Blues) Nobody can sing a straight tune any more, it's all wiggly tune divas.

It's all minimal tuneless divas (Cassie, Ciara) from where I sit! The wiggly tune divas like Amerie and Beyoncé are great though :)
