I couldn't disagree more.

Give the most amazing mix engineer a crappy song, poorly performed and recorded, and what do you get? Here's a hint, it ain't genius.

Nope, as easy as it is to disparage a "pop hit" (they're never "genius" IMO), they are almost always well done or else they don't hit.

Britney Spears or any one of a number of pop tarts - and I ain't talking about the pastry either

Nope!! While they might be marginal songs, they are actually expertly done given what they are.

Then Hip Hop or EDM... but you're a mix engineer and I'm a musician, who are we to disagree

But how much of that 'expertly done' is on the artist or the engineer? Without autotune and every other studio trick it'd all be an unlistenable pile of poop.

I'd like to weigh in here. Oh wait, I can't! I think it is safe to say that I have never listened to a Bieber or Britney Spears song.
