#1. There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality ... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.

Adam Lambert

Pop Artists Quotes #46366
#2. I'm personally looking for artists that are along the lines of today's pop stars. Whether it be a Rihanna or a Justin Bieber or a Kanye West or a Beyonce or a Lady Gaga, I'm looking for talent that's like that, that's what I love.

L.A. Reid

Pop Artists Quotes #137860
#3. I want to change the pop world one sequin at a time. Artists tend to take themselves way too seriously and don't enjoy the fun of making an impact on culture. I just have a good time and sequins represent a good time.

Lady Gaga

Pop Artists Quotes #174506
#4. People assume that a lot of pop artists don't write their songs. That, for me, is super frustrating because I think it detracts from some of the art and some of the craft of what we do. I'm at the helm of it, and I think that is what people don't see.

Ricki-Lee Coulter

Pop Artists Quotes #179978

Commercial like pop, or underground like black markets.
Where were you the day hip-hop died?
Is it too early to mourn? Is it too late to ride?

Talib Kweli

Pop Artists Quotes #190322

Katy B

Pop Artists Quotes #193639
#7. I think right now, you've seen these artists pop up over the last decade who've flirted with branching together a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them have been huge, and sold millions of records. And I think over time it's become a little bit of what the industry can be.

Eric Church

Pop Artists Quotes #214620
#8. The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn't work together. I didn't meet Andy Warhol until 1964.

James Rosenquist

Pop Artists Quotes #217482
#9. Musical 'fusion' projects have earned themselves a bad name, but that's mainly because they often involve pop artists conscripting orchestras to play unimaginative backdrops to their acts. What's really exciting is when you spark off a dialogue between very different musical forces.

Charles Hazlewood

Pop Artists Quotes #303752
#10. A lot of stuff you hear on the radio is like instant hooky pop, but I can't imagine it being covered in the future by other artists. It's really for themselves.

Andy Bell

Pop Artists Quotes #383725
#11. Some of my favorite artists are Jason Mraz, Eric Hutchinson, Ben Folds, Bruno Mars, Mumford and Sons, Maroon 5 - their vibe is slightly different from all the pop stuff on 'Glee,' although some do fall into that genre.

Grant Gustin

Pop Artists Quotes #566786
#12. Sometimes I write songs that just come out in a pop format because I grew up on melody and these amazing artists during the 80s. It's my tradition and it's something that I can't really control.

Robyn

Pop Artists Quotes #586596

J.G. Ballard

Pop Artists Quotes #599211
#14. There are artists that are using computers in all genres - Kendrick Lamar's music is electronic-made, and Taylor Swift is the same thing. There's a lot of pop music, underground music, and music for films made with computers. In that sense, it's not going to go away.

Skrillex

Pop Artists Quotes #606668
#15. I urge younger artists to know that you don't have to be anything you don't want. You can do whatever's comfortable for you. From the music I make, to the things I do in my life, I'm true to my R&B core. I have the capability to make pop records and crossover, but that's not my aim.

Trey Songz

Pop Artists Quotes #622153
#16. I like adding little elements into the final mix. I'm more fond of the '70s glam than '80s. I have that style of vocals ... there are a lot of pop artists who are using the glam vibe in their music. I'm part of that wave.

Adam Lambert

Pop Artists Quotes #725435
#17. 'The X Factor' seems to be more about building up personalities and people in tears. And it's not a new idea. The pre-Beatles pop world was full of manufactured pop stars. The thing is that you can't imagine any of the artists you look back at and admire ever going on 'The X Factor.'

Jools Holland

Pop Artists Quotes #750012
#18. I'm one of those artists who have the presence and that swag ... I was always built for the music, I don't get on cameras and pop sh*t and base it on a whole lot of hype and talk, I was built off my music ...

Juelz Santana

Pop Artists Quotes #878196

Luka Sulic

Pop Artists Quotes #900614
#20. I'm not a pop artist. For me pop never was ... Pop is concerned with exteriors. I'm concerned with interiors. When I use objects, I see them as a vocabulary of feelings. I can spend a lot of time with objects, and they leave me as satisfied as a good meal. I don't think pop artists feel that way.

Jim Dine

Pop Artists Quotes #912020
#21. I didn't have to be a pop singer with a certain look. When I started, there was really a revolution in natural artists with blues and folk artists crossing over; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get started.

Bonnie Raitt

Pop Artists Quotes #998321
#22. Pop music seems to be the way radio programming has chosen to support female artists. They have chosen not to support a more provocative voice from women, which I find disappointing.

Shirley Manson

Pop Artists Quotes #1031018
#23. I have been influenced by the greatest artists in jazz, pop, reggae, traditional, ballards, pop, and all types of music, taking the best from each to represent my own personality. Whitney Houston, George Michaels, Sade, Phil Collins, and many others have influenced me.

Laura Pausini

Pop Artists Quotes #1035587
#24. The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second - comics, picnic tables, men's trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.

Andy Warhol

Pop Artists Quotes #1063758
#25. In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.

Yoko Ono

Pop Artists Quotes #1115861
#26. In 1965, when great young white artists in the English-speaking world were successfully re-channeling hillbilly and black music - you know Bob Dylan, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards - they didn't get any money at first. They were all broke.

Iggy Pop

Pop Artists Quotes #1166455
#27. So much is filtered by pop music today, because the music industry is driven by single, single, single, single, the next single, not the nurturing of artists and that kind of thing.

Paul Weller

Pop Artists Quotes #1361054

Tiesto

Pop Artists Quotes #1374553

Steve Carell

Pop Artists Quotes #1382309
#30. Artists, whether they're classical musicians or pop musicians, they have always been the reflection of society, and in many ways a healing part of whatever is wrong in society, and I think it's important for us to continue to do that, and I don't see enough of it today.

Miley Cyrus

Pop Artists Quotes #1458903

Kimbra

Pop Artists Quotes #1480689
#34. The type of pop culture that is honestly very moving and powerful to me is [when artists] do their homework. They make it real.

David Rees

Pop Artists Quotes #1481112

Ricki-Lee Coulter

Pop Artists Quotes #1501169
#36. I think what's happenin' is that, with the overflow of music, it's been diluted. There was a time when people would go search out underground records. Now, underground means free, and people don't really care for it. So now artists tend to go more pop and look for the radio.

Ice-T

Pop Artists Quotes #1508135

Pop Artists Quotes #1539599

Robert Indiana

Pop Artists Quotes #1633489

Hal Sparks

Pop Artists Quotes #1666996
#42. The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.

Bono

Pop Artists Quotes #1670412
#43. I'm gonna make music, and I'm gonna capture every aspect of being a human being. That's really all I'm trying to do. I think that artists and pop culture identities are used to simplify what it means to be a human and pigeon-hole people into looking up to one role model.

Mac Miller

Pop Artists Quotes #1687943
