I believe it is critical to enforce the limit for Canadian material. America has historically dominated the music industry, and without this quota, many excellent young Canadian musicians may be lost among popular American performers. #POPMUS22

@ShaveEmily I agree, it appears that Canadian musicians must work a little harder than American artists to get their songs out there. Canada just does not have as much clout in the music industry. #POPMUSW22

@fa_warford You make an excellent argument, in my opinion. Nowadays, few people listen to the radio; most of the music I listen to comes from albums I've already downloaded. As a result, the exposure would be less effective. #POPMUS22

@LedwellKat Hi Katherine, I completely agree with your post. I think watching a concert live versus on technology doesn't compare to one another. Listening to a performer's live concert is so unique as it creates a better atmosphere as you listen to the song. #POPMUS22

@OliviaR34156685 I agree! I think watching a concert live versus on technology doesn't compare. Attending a concert live is about more than just the music itself but also the atmosphere and experiences that surround it. #POPMUS22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

I disagree with Wald's assessment. People attend live music venues not just for sound quality, but for the overall experience, social aspects and memories. Streaming has made access to music more accessible, but there is always a demand for live music and performances. #POPMUSW22

@abbey_hutchings I completely agree! White people appropriating African-American music and utilizing it to profit themselves absolutely undermines and ignores the traditional African-American rock that it sprang from! #POPMUSW22

@ACJ78028692 Hi Ashley, I agree that artists and record labels were pretty much all guilty of cultural theft and "schlock rock" is an excellent example of this. Thanks for sharing. #POPMUSW22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

I feel that the utilization of "schlock rock" by numerous musicians and record labels was cultural theft. This is because the music is exclusively aimed at and created by white people as if classic African-American rock never existed.#POPMUSW22

@OliviaR34156685 I agree with your post! When Ray Charles sings "I've Got A Woman" I also can hear to emotions and feelings that he expresses with the technique of breaking voice. #POPMUSW22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

@MA20220106 I agree Ray Charles technique of breaking voice is a great way to bring emotions to a song and to those that listen to his music. #POPMUSW22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

I think Ray Charles uses a breaking voice to create emotion within a song. This makes the song more interesting to the listeners. This technique is special for Ray Charles as he was the only one doing this at the time. #POPMUSW22

@JordanBarter12 Very well said. My MP3 was pink so I can see now about girls and boys owning different colours. I loved to sit back and listen to it, I also felt pretty cool to have it as I was pretty young. #POPMUSW22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

@dchicasduena Me too! I love listening to music on a record player, it's just something about it that makes it even better. I enjoy the search of finding a great record in a store with loads of them. #POPMUSW22

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

Bluetooth speakers and having music on your phone with apps such as Spotify makes it easy to enjoy and share music between a group of friends. #POPMUSW22

@Kgclarke2 This is a great example of a false need in the popular music industry. This evolves from artists and their music videos having to include all the latest and expensive brands and products. This affects the audience as they feel they need to have these things in order to fit in.

@ACJ78028692 Hey Ashley,
I agree that most media industries play a huge effect on beauty standards in this day in age. Most people feel they need to look and act like a certain artist in order to feel accepted.

[Abigail Pardy @PardyAbigail]

A false need that has been created by popular music and media industries within rap and country music is the need to have alcohol and drugs to enjoy life and have fun. Most feel they need to do these things to keep up with society's trends. #POPMUSW22
