ED SHEERAN & JUSTIN BIEBER - I DON'T CARE
A pop song review

Todd: You know what?! It's time to start talking about the decline of the male species in Western civilization! [pause] Well, you know, in its pop music specifically, which is what I cover.

Video for Beyoncé - "Hold Up"

Todd (VO): Like, as far as dominating the conversation, the women are kicking the men's asses, and have been for a long time. Todd: I'm not being angry about it for the record. I'm not one of those idiots. It just is what it is.

Video for Miley Cyrus - "Wrecking Ball"

Todd (VO): For the entire 2010s, pop music has been dominated by big-name female solo acts. If you imagine the generic music star in the past ten years... Todd: ...the image you'd come up with probably wouldn't be Timberlake or One Direction.

Clip of live performance of Lady Gaga - "Poker Face"

Todd (VO): They'd probably look like Gaga or Katy. Or Rihanna, or Taylor, or Ariana. Todd: It's not an imbalance and misrepresentation...

Video for Migos - "Narcos"

Todd (VO): ...like in hip-hop, which has always been male dominated. Or in country music ,where...[shot of article: "Female Representation On Mainstream Country Radio Hits New Low"] like my life, all the women suddenly disappeared. Todd: No, there are dudes making big pop hits. They just feel a lot less, uh...I guess substantial, or relevant. I mean, the Jonas Brothers are back.

Clip of Jonas Brothers - "Sucker"

Nick Jonas: I'm a sucker for

Joe Jonas: All the...

Todd (VO): It's a huge comeback for them. An astonishing cap to a long, winding career arc that saw them as [clip of Jonas Brothers - "SOS"] squeaky clean, very religious Disney stars that evolved into adulthood with a complete reversal of their image. A sudden transition into overt sexuality, a band hiatus, various strange solo works and side projects, paparazzi-attracting celebrity relationships, stints in other media, and finally culminating with their triumphant reunion and return to the top of the charts.

Nick: I'm a sucker for you

And I could...

Todd: ...not care less. Just, like, not at all.

Todd (VO): They don't interest me, they've never interested me. I don't get them, I don't even get it enough to be bothered by it. They're just there.

Todd: And that's how I feel about most of the male pop stars of this decade.

Video for Bruno Mars - "Versace on the Floor"

Todd (VO): I...like, I guess there's Bruno. I like him. [clip of Drake - "In My Feelings"] And I still do find Drake interesting, but he probably wouldn't want to be called pop. And...he's less and less interesting with each new flood of mediocre songs.

Todd: And who else is there? [images of...] Adam Levine...Post Malone...Shawn Mendes? These are just not exciting artists. But, I'm also starting to think, like, maybe it's not them. Maybe it's me. Like, is it just straight guy bias?
