One of the things i can't stand in this world are music snobs.
If someone likes Chris Brown and thinks they are talented then they are.
If someone likes Herbie Hancock and thinks they are talented then they are.
You're not right or wrong, it's all about what you prefer.
Me, i don't have a favourite genre or artist, if there's a song i like then i like it, if there's a song i don't like then i don't like it, doesn't mean it's shit.
Music snobs are up there with fanatical relgious extremists.
I agree with your sentiments but just because you "like" an artist or a genre of music doesn't mean the artist is "talented".
No-one is saying you can't like Chris Brown, but rightly people are pointing out that an artist who has every little creative detail planned out for him, is hardly talented. He's just the 'nice little package' other peoples talent is released through.
