@IanWellon I completely agree! There is no comparison between seeing your favourite artist and just hearing their record. Being able to see your favourite artist adds a deeper level to the music, making it more real and personal. #F22POPMUS

@charlottep011 Hi Charlotte! I completely agree with you! I also rather see my favourite artists live. I find that seeing a live performance brings people together and the music is more emotional. Live performances are a great experience for all! #F22POPMUS

Wald’s assessment is not true for today’s pop audience as I believe young people like to experience concerts and the social aspect of live concerts. New technologies in recording have impacted listening but cannot replace live performances.#F22POPMUS

@KarlieSquires I also agree! The original music has a deeper meaning and would be more enjoyable. On the other hand, Schlock music is less passionate due to cultural theft and unoriginality. This aspect takes away from the deeper meaning of the music. #F22POPMUS

@hannahfahie3 I agree! The artists do steal ideas from someone else which creates an inferior style of music. However, there is still a possibility to appreciate the artist's talent and voice. #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

In Schlock, lyrics, vocal timbre, and overall music is changed and is inferior to other cultures' originals. The music is performed by white idols to appeal to a white audience. I believe all music should be valued, but this type of music is very unoriginal.#F22POPMUS

@cagallantmun I agree! Although he asserts his individuality, he also emphasizes certain words in the song which is common with other blues songs! This emphasis also adds a deeper meaning to the music. #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

@RylanCrokeMUN I agree! Ray Charles also creates a sense of individuality through his style of singing. The way he truly makes the music his own also deepens the meaning of the song. This can make it more relatable for the audience! #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

In my opinion, Ray Charles used a breaking voice as a further musical and emotional expression layer. This allows for understanding the music fully. He creates a unique and distinct style while emphasizing certain words like other blues songs. #F22POPMUS

@jubejube100 I agree to an extent! Although having a Spotify subscription is a very popular way for people to stream their music, there are still free apps to download and play music for free like MyFreeMP3! #F22POPMUS

@mhmcphee I agree! There are so many cheaper alternatives to the AirPods that people can buy. These alternatives allow people to "fit in" and to stream anywhere under social standards and help them feel included. #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

The Beats Headphone Bluetooth company influences a younger audience to buy the product. Beats show a high profile social class and status through the product. The way we access music has changed as Beats allows access to stream anywhere, especially while exercising. #F22POPMUS

@ZacharyStuartR1 I agree! I think this affects people in society to be more materialistic. I also feel like music is supposed to be about expressing emotions and when there is no meaning behind it, music can lose some of its power. #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

@Sunshin3Martin I agree! Although, repetition has been found to draw people to it so they can "guess" the next note or rhythm before it occurs. This style does tend to get boring after numerous songs have the exact same style. #F22POPMUS

[Sheila Loshi @SheilaLoshi]

A false need created by popular music is the artist's appearance expectation. This image is usually unattainable for people in society to reach. Popular music is dumbed-down to appeal to all people, louder dynamically and is mostly monochromatic. #F22POPMUS
