Has the UK finally surpassed the US in terms of quality?
When it comes to female pop stars/popular entertainers.
Take a look at this.
And this.
This too.
Now it's a known fact that the UK has been producing brilliant women for years now (my very popular New Sound of the UK Rate proved this), but it seems like everything's accelerated in the past eighteen months or so.
These women. Plus Delilah. Yasmin. Cher Lloyd. Misha B. Little Mix. CocknBullKid. Countless others.
All we've got to show for it is Elizabeth Grant, who sings like a hooker on Xanax, writes like a woman on the edge of catatonia, and performs like a dead fish. She couldn't - or rather shouldn't - entertain anyone but a room full of coma patients.
Now obviously, the UK still produces mediocrity, (Jessie J), trash, (Jessie J) or some combination of both (Tulisa). It's not a complete paradise.
But it's thoroughly outpacing the US, which again has given us Ms. Grant and a bunch of backwards, LATE girls still trying to be the next Gaga and/or Rihanna.
So what can it take to stop this? Azaelia can only do so much. Let's discuss, and also post interesting girls from this country that need all the help they can get.

Not too much on Lizzy.
Yes, as Charli XCX stated:
Quote:
I feel like the U.K. is a better breeding ground for pop, partially because the radio play is more broad and open to new ideas and sounds. Whereas, in the United States, if you're listening to the radio, its going to the be the same five songs on repeat, for months at a time. The lack of variety makes radio less relevant, I think.

There are still interesting American girls.
Alex Winston's debut album just dropped within the last month.
She's 24 and from Michigan.
She does inventive wonky pop. Has a memorable voice.
She's probably too weird to blow up, but I'm okay with that.

As I'm sure you realize (or, at least, I hope you're able to realize), this part is insensitively going way too far.
