Anyone know some singers and bands that are pop bands? *Note* I don’t mean pop like boy band pop or the American Idol sort of pop. I mean pop like MIKA, Scissor Sisters, Lily Allen, and Jason Mraz. Very, very pop please. Thank you!

VK asked:


In our suburban church choir, there are a few excellent singers, and a few good singers. The philosophy of the choir director seems to be that the excellent singers always sing the solos. This never gives the lesser singers a chance to prepare and perform a solo. As a result, they begin to think they never can be good enough to sing a solo. It’s the musical equivalent of “the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer.”
Now, I know there is plenty of justification for making the best music possible, especially in Church. So the practice of always using the best singer makes sense. But, how do the lesser singers get a chance to develop?

I would be particularly interested in responses from choir directors or choral leaders, but all opinions are welcomed.
