I like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift too 
Also been following jpop for more than 10 years now. Started with visual kei when X-Japan and Luna Sea were still around. Right now I'm into Japanese indie pop, reggae and r&b. I also listen to classical (right now into impressionists like Debussy and Ravel) and jazz (always been into bebop) a lot.
Maybe I'm a music nerd, but the only genre I can't really stand is Western gangsta rap, because it sounds so contrived to fit a certain aesthetic. Rap from any other continent is fine. With music, it's really always down to personal taste.
Edit: Actually, there are a few exceptions. I like Eminem's stuff. In the 90's one of my favorite songs was I'll Be Missing You by P.Diddy Feat Faith Hill. I also liked BIG's stuff.
