We seriously need to keep spamming this site for the next 48 hours.

Who would have thought DT could win against mainstream pop "artists"  ;D

:lolpalm:  This is hilarious.  Good job, DTF.  :clap:  Keep it up.

I do have to say, though, the Katy Perry video (and the song itself, too, actually) is pretty good.

It's a pretty "cute" video.  Made me smile.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8

Okay, yeah, that's pretty neat.   :D

All right, I manage to get through, 42-35 in favor of DT.  The game is on.

Katy Perry definitely deserves second place in this competition. That song is great.

Funny thing is, if not for this poll, I wouldn't have even bothered looking it up, so I never would have known.  :lol

Ugh. I've had enough of voting for today :lol

I've been refreshing for hours :lol

I presumed that people posting RORORORORO were referring to ANTR, then I realised too many girls posted it...

Also I speak for myself mainly, but I don't want beiber/MC/KP fans as part of our fandom... pop + DT doesn't mix, screw them unloyal god awful fans. They only like looks not music, The MC video is porn, the KP video is for her looks, I can't even remember what else was on there but you get the idea....

Don't be so rude.  Honestly, believe what you want about the music, but the vast majority of KP and MC fan posts are more respectful than what you just posted.  While Miley's video is just awful, the song actually isn't bad (I personally don't care for it, but I can see why those who enjoy pop music more than I do would like it).  And there is plenty to like about the KP song and the video, whether you can subjectively identify with it or not.  The DT love is obviously appreciated, but don't be such a snob just because you happen to dislike a particular style.

Man my thumbs getting tired. Voting from my phone, I just refresh until it lets me vote

I definitely agree with Bosk. If you go to the General Music Discussion here, you will find that many people here like pop (including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc.).

Hell, I've seen Katy Perry live! My favorite band is Dream Theater, and all of my big favorites are prog and/or metal, but just like Dream Theater's music, my tastes aren't one-dimensional.

I dislike pop and all it stands for because what it does stand for is completely wrong, all pop videos are is 99% naked women, I understand what you mean but pop music has completely destroyed the whole creative and musical side of music.

I agree I could have done a better job wording my previous post and I apologise for that but, I know that what I stand for is correct, as a comment said on this poll "Bring Musicians back into music"

If Katy Perrys music was so about the music then she wouldn't have to lie half naked in a video (Teenage Dream) or whatever its where she is squirting fire out of her boobs.

Pop is not real music, it's sex sold to subjective youngsters. 

SystematicThought

That's all a bit harsh. Maybe you need to explore the pop genre a bit more because that's not what it's all about

How old are you? 15?

jonnybaxy

I've grown up with it constantly blaring down my ears whether it being in school or radio or just friends, I've stated my opinions and they will stay that way, if anyone cares to discuss this further I'm a PM away because this is getting a bit off topic, but if you wish to PM, go ahead.

And no, I'm 17. Not that it matters....

bosk1

I don't disagree with your larger point about some pop (and other music as well) being exploitive and marketing sex to youngsters.  But (1) just because a lot of pop may fit that category doesn't mean that all of it is, and (2) again, the actual song and video in question are actually quite good.  In general, I don't really like KP at all. A big reason is some of the stuff you mentioned.  But have you actually watched the video in question or listened to the song? 


EDIT:  And, Lalo, that was uncalled for.  You know better than that.  Come on now.

Seriously, if that's what you think the pop genre is, then you merely read the headlines and assume the other 99% is exactly that.
Which it's not by the way.

jonnybaxy

Bosk: yeah, didn't care for it, repetitive, awful and nothing new.

why have some of you members who've been here a while and should know better and be more respectful, always got to come in with some sarcastic comment that doesn't help anyone? Be productive.

Edit: Pop=Headlines

TheAtliator

while you guys were over here arguing on the internet, I got us to 44%!!  :biggrin: :angel:
