Since the beginning of my recording career in 1975, I have had a little difficulty because the pop stations think I'm a jazzer who doesn't have a feeling for pop, so it's hard to get my records played. Similarly, black urban radio doesn't understand that with my R&B roots, I am more than a jazz singer. So I get pigeonholed.

Al Jarreau

So I was always around music and my dad was in his own way a progressive jazzer, a big band jazzer guy.

Billy Sherwood

I am a pop and R&B singer. I'm not necessarily an Indian singer or musician. I sing in English, and the music I do blends hip hop, pop, R&B, and soul.

Jay Sean

I used to be a pop singer; well, not used to be. I am an R&B singer. My emphasis was on Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin.

Keala Settle

Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.

Stark Sands

When I sing a pop song, I'm a pop singer. When I sing a country song, I'm a country singer. I've been very lucky to cross over, because by doing that, you can't be pigeonholed.

Anne Murray

Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.

Kelly Clarkson

I'm not a folk or jazz singer, more a hard-edged pop singer - with some rock, and song hooks.

you know...uh I'm a singer... pop singer... i'm white

Justin Bieber

I never wanted to be a pop singer, but I always watched pop programs and knew I could do better than the people I was seeing.

Ian Brown

I started out as a pop singer, then pop died down, and I had to dig my feet into Bollywood which is not something I wanted actually.

Neha Bhasin

It's not misogynistic to criticize a legendary female pop singer; it's misogynistic to think a legendary female pop singer can't handle it.

Greg Gutfeld

I couldn't do the heavy rock thing anymore. Noddy Holder was around kicking every singer in the ***. I never wanted to be a pop singer. Christ, how I hated Noddy!

Tom Jones

Maybe I'm not a typical pop star, but I don't think there's a mould for a pop star or singer. You can do whatever you want.

Alessia Cara

I'm not a pop rapper. That's nothing against pop music - I love pop music. I've jumped on pop records for people and still will, but I'm not a pop artist. I didn't start from there. I started in underground music. I consider myself an underground artist, as well as a producer.

Juicy J

2017 saw a slew of big pop and hip-hop records, a number of breakout female singer-songwriters and all-girl bands, and the return of beloved '60s soul artist Don Bryant and pop star Kesha.
