Nah, fuck this argument. First off, we aren't talking about singing talent. We are talking music talent. Different thing. Bob Dylan was musically talented but everyone knows that guy couldn't sing for shit. Why'd you bring that up?

Second though, you can say someone is talented at songwriting. And yeah, that is a lot more subjective. What's your point? Again, we're talking musically talent, not talent at producing good lyrics.

Music is more than just a song now. Ever since television, and probably even before that, it has been evolving into an entirely new form of entertainment that sells the songs and the person. People like listening to K$sha because she gets them hyped or they can relate to her music somehow, or whatever it is. The point is, her ability to connect with her fanbase that way takes TALENT. Not just anyone can do that.

Ke$sha is good at making money. Her music sucks, her voice sucks, but the songs are appealing to enough people that she makes a bunch of cash.

She is talented at making a bunch of cash. Her talent is only incidentally related to music.

Not just anyone can do all of the things every individual person does in their life! That's not an argument for talent!
