I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists.
Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
I have no ambitions to be a pop star.
I don't see myself as a pop star, just a singer.
Was music my talent really? No, I don't think I was particularly talented.
I don't care about the word 'pop'. The Beatles were pop; it's just what's popular.
I think of myself as a performance artist. I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.
Many of our greatest musicians abandoned all of their aesthetic objectives to try to become pertinent. And, at the end of the day, they never became pop stars. I counter stated that very strongly, and I continue to do that.
With Celine Dion, we were selling 25 million records a pop. 'Pop' stands for 'popular.' It means we're plugging into the masses.
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
