#W23POPMUS As a result of some Canadian artists' inability to keep up with the output of larger American artists, I think there should still be an enforceable quota for Canadian material. These artists need some help to keep up with others and promote their work internationally.

#W23POPMUS I agree with Wald's analysis. While I still love live music, autotune has made it possible for many performers to succeed who wouldn’t be enjoyable to hear live. Plus, the level of clarity in music that’s available to us has further lessened the need for cover bands.

#W23POPMUS I believe that the music's reputation as "Schlock" stems from the way it altered the original meanings and cultural context. Yet, I think we can still appreciate it on its own as long as we consider it in the right context and credit is given where it is due.

#W23POPMUS With his broken voice, Ray Charles expressed his admiration for the women he sang about. Instead of only using lyrics, he used a more powerful way to convey his feelings. His songs became more original as a result of this technique and displayed his singing abilities

#W23POPMUS It is now easier than ever to listen to music, thanks to products such as Beats by Dre and AirPods that have been developed recently. These products are widely considered as luxurious and can raise the users’ social status.

@Lalphonsusm I agree Logan. Popular music creates false needs often.

#W23POPMUS Because many listeners are more interested in the tempo of the music than the lyrics, new popular music appeals to a passive audience. The lyrics of popular songs, which portray unrealistic acts, financial situations, and material possessions, develop false needs.
