Music for Papal Mass Receiving Negative Reviews

I'm not able to ascertain the feelings of everyone in the world on the subject of the music performed for the recent papal mass here in the USA, but it looks pretty negative in the blogs that I follow.

Here's the primary sentiment, from the New Liturgical Movement:

it was to the grave embarrassment of all American Catholics that the music employed at the papal Mass at the Nationals stadium in Washington, D.C., not only represented a repudiation of everything that this pope has written on music appropriate to Mass. We can go further to say that there is no robust tradition of liturgical scholarship that is capable of defending what happened, and that is because it is indefensible.

It wasn't just the musicians who had a problem with what was performed. A Catholic Mother wrote this:

At one point as the music changed I looked at the radio puzzled. I actually thought I must have lost the signal on the station. Surely this music is coming from another station. They would never have music like this at a papal Mass. But they DID!!! Even pieces that would have been acceptable were jazzed up in way that seemed totally inappropriate. I was flabbergasted. I will give the benefit of the doubt to the planners. Surely they thought it sounded good, but I must admit it occurred to me that there might have been an element of rebelliousness in their selections. I hope not. I was almost embarrassed.
