So I had to choose between Pop and Hip Hop and I decided to go Pop because I think it's a more challenging exercise given the broad spectrum of what can be considered pop and the obvious influences from other genres. So much of what people consider to be "pop" has heavy Rock or R&B influences so I decided to try to find a song that isn't overtly Rock or R&B.
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
She is on a very short list of best pop artist of all time for me. Yes, she has R&B influences and so does this song but she is decidedly more Pop than R&B in my opinion. Without spotlighting I think her influences are obvious and she represents the best of what is pop. There are a lot of great pop artists that are maybe less sophisticated than Gaga, but I don't want to listen to them as much so this is where I landed.
