@Brandon84648574 #MUS2011W21 This is a great point! You can see the growing popularity of Canadian artists through the huge success of artists like Drake, Justin Bieber, and Bryan Adams

@RachelLegge5 @eahiscock #MUS2011W21 For sure less people listen to the radio. These playlists on Spotify and Apple Music that are curated with solely Canadian artists/music also help Canadian content to reach much larger audiences

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

#MUS2011W21 I feel it is unnecessary to enforce a quota of Canadian content. Platforms like YouTube, Spotify, etc. have made it easier for artist’s music to be heard internationally. However, I still feel it is important to recognize and appreciate Canadian content

@maeghan2002 #MUS2011W21 live music is definitely still great to listen to as it gives you a different listening experience and a different appreciation of the music and the artists

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

@hjmmadden #MUS2011W21 this is a great point! There is always so much hype and anticipation around lineup announcements for festivals like Coachella and Osheaga which proves there still is a desire to see live performances

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

#MUS2011W21 Wald has a valid point, but I don’t fully agree. I think people would still rather see their favourite artists live, but concert tickets are hard to come across and can be very costly. Recorded songs are simply easier to access and thus seem like the preference

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

@EmmaRandell5 @chg881 @CoreyCo96984778 Yes. Record companies exploited the work of the original artists to appeal to the greatest audience and make the largest profit. They did this without considering the implication of cultural theft that came from it #MUS2011W21

@Catheri64117234 #MUS2011W21 This is a great point. Presenting these types of artists does not properly pay homage to the original artists and songs that were being covered

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

#MUS2011W21 I believe the term “schlock” is used to describe this music because many of these singers lacked talent and their “clean” and “safe” image was the central focus. But this music can’t be fully dismissed as it is a form of covering which remains a common practice today

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

@dkbutton98 This is a good point. To add to it, I think that this new and unheard way of conveying emotion allowed his listeners to connect with his emotion on a different, possibly deeper, level #MUS2011W21

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

@dshortall11 I agree! Blues and R&B is full of raw emotion. Ray Charles using this technique allows listeners to really feel the strong emotions he’s experiencing which definitely captures the purposes of R&B #MUS2011W21

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

#MUS2011W21 I believe Ray Charles used a breaking voice to make his sounds unique and emphasize his memorable timbre. Also I think he used it to incorporate variations of techniques of other genres in his music to show his creativity and not be confined to one specific genre

@YoungestMyrden This is so true! I love that streaming has made it possible to listen to albums and artists from so many different decades. Being able to explore and enjoy music that was popular in the past is a great thing

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

@Brandon84648574 I agree! I have playlists with music from only one genre but I also have playlists with music from many genres. It’s also so convenient to be able to download specific songs instead of buying a whole album just to listen to a couple songs

[Elizabeth DeVilla @edevilla15]

#MUS2011W21 Streaming has made it incredibly easy to access music for anybody and everybody. It’s possible to discover songs, artists, genres, etc. that you may never have listened to or even thought of listening to before. Everything from Debussy to DaBaby is at our fingertips
