I always want Morrissey to do well.

A lot of people would enjoy his songs.

People might laugh at this, but you know what I'd love to see?
I'd love to see Morrissey perform at the MTV Video Music Awards.
That would be fun.

But I know it'll never happen.

I don't want him to be *over*exposed, however.

I want the critics to hail the album a masterpiece, I want it to chart and I want it to sell.

I don't think that we have any reason to worry that having a hugely successful album would influence Morrissey (especially this late in the game).

No offence, gendernectar, but I find this attitude incredibly snobby ...

I think you shoud like music in and of itself, not in the context of who does/doesn't like it. I think the idea is just to not listen to the radio, though ... radio has a tendancy to just play the same song again and again, and it can put you off a particular song.
