@MoeAtMUN This is true, I hear new songs with reinvented pieces of older songs in them all the time! Reinterpretation allows for creativity #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

@emilypearce_mun True!! I was thinking this as well! The popularity of a cover can spark interest in the original, this way both parties can benefit #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

However, I enjoy covers of original songs because they allow people to sing a song they love & make it their own for others to hear #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

I believe that it was considered "schlock music" because it was taken from the original and changed to appeal more to listeners #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

@Getbuckets1515 I totally agree with this! The best artists are the ones you recognize every time you hear their voice #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

@McguireKjersti This is very true! With this, he stands out from the crowd and it makes his music and voice familiar/recognizable to listeners #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

Ray Charles used breaking voice to help him be more expressive and emotional. This helped him convey his feelings about 'his woman' #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

In this way, music can create a party culture and a false dependency on these things #MUS2011

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

@staceypowell_ This is a really good point Stacey! Most music on the radio is talking about some dependency whether it be love, alcohol, drugs, etc.

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

@Jas513Squires I agree with you on this! It is so true that some music more or less tells people who to be and some follow because it is considered "cool"

[Katee Cooper @KateeCooper71]

Many popular songs talk about getting drunk and doing drugs which instills the idea that this is what we have to do to have fun #MUS2011
