I'm not disagreeing with your theory, my point is don't label "Americans" as unrecognizing of true talent for having Katy Perry's song at number one when it's number one in UK. It just makes your opinion of Americans the same opinion of that in the UK.

And I don't think it's fair to generalize all Americans as that because me being an African American woman, people automatically assume that I only like R&B and Rap music which is far from the truth. I'm a VERY eclectic music listener! Now don't get me wrong R&B and Rap are my favorite genres of music, but I love ALL genres of music and all musical artists Wayne to Queen to Paramore to MJ to Beyonce to Kings of Leon to Elton John to Prince and anything else that's pleasing to my ear on this planet. So I don't discriminate.
