This is funny - I hope he thinks that Max Martin and his army of Swedish songwriters aren't absolute geniuses when it comes to manipulating media and skillful writing and production. Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears are such HUGE moneymakers because the guys who produce and compose their music
really know and understand how little Suzy Everygirl is going to react... It's an art in and of itself, knowing your target market, and exploiting it...perhaps not the most admirable skill, but whatever.
