I don't like his shallow lyrics, nor do I like any other generic pop band's lyrics. I also don't like his shallow music, nor do I like any other generic pop band's formulaic chord changes and predictable music.

...no. How so? You claim I'm the one comparing apples to oranges, but look at this analogy you've presented.
I don't eat cheeseburgers everyday, but I will not disown all pop music because you think it sucks. I like Donna Summer and Rick James and Rick Springfield. I like the Bee Gees, and Metallica and Manhatten Transfer and David Sanborn. I know a Redneck who likes banjo and Celine Deon.
You don't like pop music? So?
Just say you don't like it. That does not mean pop stars don't have talent. It just means you don't like them.

I didn't mix a damned thing. A stage act is a stage act, be it a play or musical stage act in the form of a concert or musical. Cher, is a stage performer,
The overlap is that the FOCUS is on performing where music is the backdrop done by others.
Just stop and say "I don't like pop music". That does not mean that pop stars in music do not have talent. It just means you don't like them.
