Music getting flat...

[Lady~Deviance]

I'm just going to chime in and say that music may appear to be too conventional due to an individuals' incessant exposure to music.

I personally never tire of 80's and early 90's music. That's the music scene I identified most with (yes I'm that old) and that is what I mostly immerse myself in.

But overall I just don't have the ear for current mainstream music, not because of its omnipresence but rather it just does not appeal to me.

Definitely! I know just what you mean! I find that I become obsessed with one song and listen to it for like a month or two straight always on repeat and then suddenly, I find a new song, and the older one just gets replaced and it kind of gets put 'on hold' for awhile.

well... in Mariah's defence, the best vocalists aren't on mainstream music anyway..
even cuz mainstream music is very image oriented and most of it's songs aren't as complicated as more traditional music pieces like operas and enka... even because those singers are trained to excel their singing without technological suports, as those more traditional styles were created as a way to make an artist being heard by an audience having only their voices to rely on, while in mainstream music even the most gifted vocalists ( mariah, celine, beyonce, aguilera, michael, etc) are always using technological enhancement in order to deliver a superhuman like espetacle.

also, the average music listener is more interested in emotion than skill, so, a flawed voice (like ayu, hikki, namie, koda, madonna, britney, rihanna, janet) that can deliver the right amount of emotion, sometimes even because of the flaws on the singing technoque, is better than a very skilled singer that delivers this emotion on a less popular and more erudit way when we talk about pop.

Thank you, Saint. I'll take that into consideration.

Yawn. If you can't discuss this maturely, just stop posting. As amusing as this is, it's off-topic and proof some people need to stop taking other people's posts so seriously.
