With pop music, maybe. They arent written to be appealing in and of themselves. Pop music is a pretty strict style and structure with the same bass line and same few chords. Then they are played on the radio ad nauseum, so that when it's first released you become familiar with the song enough to like it. As a batch of pop songs start to become old, another batch is released with similar style and structure. There's hardly anything new.
In order to keep people excited about a pop song that went through that life cycle 10+ years ago, there needs to be more. Don't forget that there are quite a few pop performers who rely on auto tune because they can't sing in tune, so they are just lip-syncing on stage. I'm sure some of the spectacle is also to keep the performers going and energetic during performances of the same pop crap they've toured with for more than a decade.
