Sergey

I prefer classical music. Why?  Well.. pop’s lost its direction, I think. Ten or twenty years ago there were real artists writing real songs – now all you get is synthesizers and dance music. It’s like wallpaper, everything sounds the same.

Petra

I think pop music is better today than ever before. There are stars from all over the world – lots of different styles and images – It’s great! Yes, of course there’s a lot of rubbish, too, but so what? There always was and there always will be. What you have to do is to choose. Pop’s like a big funfair. If you can’t have a good time, it’s your problem.

Conchita

Pop music gives pleasure to billions of people. It saves lives, too. Think of all the money that Band Aid sent to Africa, for example. Things like that are important. After all – how else can 14 or 15 year olds do anything about the world’s problems? They can’t vote, can they?
