I don't like it because it smacks of commercialism.

Some of the lyrics are catchy, some of the music is fun, but it seems like the songs are made to be marketed, like movie soundtracks. And it isn't commercialism in a kitschy way, you can tell he is creating these songs to make more money.

I would classify it in the same musical group as american idol, britney spears, boy-bands, etc.

After reading what I wrote, maybe the true answer is that I'm a music snob...
