I think popularity and influence are pretty much the same thing when it comes to pop culture though? I am a bit surprised because I was looking down the list for songs done on Singapore Idol this year, and other than the Asian music week, most of the artists done were western. But maybe it's because Singapore Idol is a show hosted in English right?

Haha, I think you did fine. :) Thanks for telling me. I'm always intrigued by Singapore because I feel like it's such a mix of Asian and western culture and yet it seems to work?
