Let's be so thankful that Fleetwood Mac aren't those artists! An entirely different genere. Those "singers" are dancers/entertainers/actors/personalities.
The members of Fleetwood Mac are hardcore rock and roll musicians, plain and simple. Fleetwood Mac had its long day in the limelight, and as such, are respected among generations of rock and roll fans. Just because they aren't selling in the realm of the current popular crop of "entertainers" doesn't have any bearing of the merits of Fleetwood Mac's most recent material.
Not meaning to dish directly on Justin or Beyonce, just remember this: Just because something is popular, or sells big doesn't mean it's any good...or better than something that doesn't sell. Marketing plays a big role. That's why sh*t sells!
