There are certain genres of music that I try to convince myself I don’t like. The one I’ve noticed lately is girl singers with strong voices who write catchy, poppy songs. Usually the first time I hear one of their songs I think, “Psh. That’s just fluff.” But then I find myself singing it under my breath for the rest of the day. And then the next time it comes on the radio I find myself not changing the station. And the next time, I’m turning it up and singing along. Hooked, I tell ya. And then I have to admit to myself that they’re popular because they’re catchy.
Here are two songs that I’ve gone through this process with lately:

I don’t know why I deceive myself into thinking I’m a music snob because I’m clearly not. :-)
Have a good weekend!
