Nobody who can actually compose and perform a half decent track - be it pop or not - doesn't deserve to be called talentless.
Lightspeed Champion is JLS, is Akon.
Your point about being talentless is fair if there wasn't genuine talent in the world to compare it to. Unfortunately to anyone making music nowadays, if you have ears you'll hear incredible music that made decades ago that was revolutionary, intricate, passionate, sparse, complex, communicative, expressive, honest, sincere, 'rocking', relaxing, depressing, uplifting etc etc etc. The standard is out there, it be nice to hear people trying to do something on a par.
