@SMusic2011 Good point! The quota definitely has the potential to give smaller artists a good starting platform.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@keriannenoel Never thought of it this way. Good point! It can also help Canadian artists that are up-and-coming to get recognized sooner.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

It is easy to see the idea behind a quota for Canadian content, but I don't believe any artists should be getting more exposure over someone else just because of their nationality. #mus2011f20

@HyyBernadette Good point! Every artist will have a different way of performing live and I think being able to perform the song as well as sing it is very entertaining.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@paigejo85250286 I agree! A live performance really creates more of a memorable experience no matter if it is cover band or not.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

#MUS2011F20 I would have to disagree with Wald's assessment of today's pop audience. As much as I appreciate the original song, listening to a live band perform (even if it is a cover band) really brings the song to life.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@dylan_power1 Many cover artists simply took ones song, sang it to a different melody and called it their own. Definitely lacked inspiration and creativity!

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@SMusic2011 Agreed! If someone was to cover a song they should give credit to the original artist as they were simply stealing a song/ profit.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

I don't believe there is any harm in covering a song if it is done with credit to the original artist and is out of love for the song. If an artist covers a song simply to appeal to a bigger audience and to create profit then yes it should be dismissed. #mus2011f20

@JordanPomeroy Good point! The breaking of his voice definitely brings attention to the lyrics.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@sabrina_068 Yes I agree! He definitely knew how to incorporate his passion into his music

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

I believe Ray Charles used a breaking voice to create personality and uniqueness to his music. In doing so he delivered music in a way that kept the listener wanting to hear more. #mus2011f20

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@again_mac For sure! Would definitely be interesting to know how artists were affected by this change.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

Music streaming apps such as Spotify and Apple music makes millions of songs accessible in seconds. Having this type of variety helps me appreciate other genres of music I probably wouldn't be interested in if I had to go to a music store and purchase their CD. #mus2011f20

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@HyyBernadette Couldn't agree more. When I first started to have interest in music I had to borrow my brothers MP3 and only had access to the music he was interested in and had downloaded.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@JIdinye Agreed, buying individual songs compared to seamlessly streaming any song you want in seconds is a game changer!

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@TaswafRahman Agreed! I have done this first hand. If I am with a group of friends and I am in charge of the music, the genre of music they listen to will make a difference to what type of music I will play.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

@JakeHoskinsMUN I completely agree. The artists will often play it safe in order to keep up with the trends/make it to the top of the charts.

[Jasmine Purcell @JasminePurcell6]

A false need that the media industry has created is the need for new music from the artist. The artists will feel pressured to release new and "popular" songs that will hit the charts rather than music they want to create. #MUS2011F20
