In this segment of The Morning X, they transform the studio into a live, on-air music meeting to tackle a genre-bending controversy. Tune in to hear Barnes, Crash, and LT decide the radio fate of a chart-topping pop star who is attempting to break out of her bubblegum roots and cross over into the exclusive alt-rock scene. Discover which legendary rock frontman she recruited to give her brand-new track some edge, and listen as passionate listeners fiercely debate whether the transition is a genuine artistic evolution or just contrived "pop culture cheese".
