It just seems to me that the industry has become so slick now that they know they can maximise profits by using a proven process. Why bother with creativity when you know that Beiber, Perry etc will make the profits without the risks or diversity. Hence the apparently much smaller pool of household names now in pop music.
It's the 80/20 rule, which he alludes to in that video.

The industry was nearly always that way. If music weren't about money, Elvis would have been an also ran while the black musicians who inspired him would have been the new kings on the block.
The snobbery has to end. For every Lady Gaga I give you a Dave, Dee, Dozy, Mick and Titch!
