So who's your favourite pop star?

Now there's a shiny new Lemmy group up and running at @popheads (Mastodon users: follow it if you want more discussion of pop music in your Mastodon feed), it's time to ask who's your favourite pop star? Do you have a favourite song or album?

My current faves are:

Alessia Cara: Perhaps the most talented and certainly the most underrated of the current crop of pop stars. She's fallen out of the limelight the past couple of years, which is a pity, because there's some excellent songs on her recent albums:

Willow Smith: Done some really great songs recently:

And some all-time favourites:

Prince

John Farnham (but only his Whispering Jack/Age of Reason/Chain Reaction '80s to early '90s run)

Janet Jackson, and most of the broader Jackson family. (Jermaine, Rebbie, and TJ in particular have some hidden gems in their discography.)

kylie. when the trap door opened dropping me into the shiny world of pop music, kylie was pulling the lever. to this day i call my preferred artists 'showgirls'. they have been, historically: kylie, girls aloud and/or chezza, katy, britney. crj and selena gomez are semi-permanent showgirls-in-waiting. i've seen every one of them live, kylie six times, crj three.

i just saw a concert by the belgian singer angèle, who abruptly and unexpectedly became an instant showgirl. somewhere out there carly rae is pouting, sorry.
