I think you are being generous. With autotune (and the other like software) actual musical ability ranks pretty low on the qualification list for a "pop star".
Appearance, an ability to move (some might call it dance), and acting ability (not the theatrical kind, but the showmanship kind) and you are done. Software can manage the rest.
Let's see these "pop stars" sing standing still, live, with no mixing. Then we can see who is or is not a singing sensation.
I have to admit some confusion on how much attention the Milely Cyrus video has garnered. To me this falls squarely in the category of "small stuff" that is simply not all that important.
You don't think that her publicity agency is behind this... do you?
