@Lisa_mus2011 I agree with your point here. Although I disagree that quotas should be introduced, your point deepens my understanding to the advantages of quotas which is giving platforms to smaller Canadian artists and more diverse Canadian material. Great post!

#F22POPMUS Although it can give a platform to small Canadian artists. Canadian listeners may enjoy listening to popular music from other countries to enjoy diversity. It is important to incorporate this when considering quotas.

[emily pine @emilypine8]

#F22POPMUS I do not believe it is necessary to put a quota on Canadian music. Although American music may dominate Canadian airwaves and quotas can increase the amount of Canadian artists we hear, it can be restricting for Canadian listeners.

@ErinWay14 Although I understand your point, I disagree with your statement. Live performances create a sense of authenticity and can deepen connection between artists and their listeners.

@LukaszNako I completely agree with your statement. Technology does wonders for bringing the artist and listeners together quickly but nothing is quite as special as a live performances where connectedness is at its peak and authenticity is key.

@megan_savoury I agree with this statement. Live music is fun and creates a sense of direct connectedness from the audience to the artist.

#F22POPMUS I do not agree with Wald's statement because live performances not only bring listeners together but add a sense of authenticity to music. Artists have the ability to connect directly with the audience whereas streaming platforms can create a sense of disconnectedness.

@megan_savoury I agree with your point made here! It’s undeniable that this is cultural theft and the appropriate recognition should be given to songs that are stolen.

...and should be acknowledged in production, in today's society many listeners tend to see its value because of its familiarity from previous songs and trendiness. #F22POPMUS

#F22POPMUS In the 1950s, Schlock music was deemed as cultural theft due to artists borrowing music from African American artists and altering it to appeal to a white audience. Undoubtedly, schlock music is stolen music from the African American community and artists should...

turned into dance music. One example is, Miley Cyrus’ ‘We Can’t Stop’ (2013) samples Doug E. Fresh and Slick Ricks ‘La Di Da Di’ (1982) and ‘We Can’t Stop’ became number two on the Billboard Hot 100. While schlock music can detract from the work of the original artist #F22POPMUS

@leahkennedy111 This is a great response. Not only does his voice break out of being labelled under a genre, his emotion alone makes it a very creative and his effects of this song were displayed phenomenally!

[emily pine @emilypine8]

@HannahS99330463 I agree with you here, Understanding the lyrics is not needed when the song already sounds very emotional. Ray Charles does a great job displaying this.

[emily pine @emilypine8]

@MeganChippett04 I like this response, The lyrics already show that the song is emotional but the voice breaking adds depth and emphasizes his feelings.

[emily pine @emilypine8]

...Another song that used voice breaking is"The Wonder of You" by Elvis Presley. This song is a very passionate song and by using voice breaking it can deepen that emotion. #F22POPMUS

[emily pine @emilypine8]

#F22POPMUS After listening to Ray Charles "I've Got A Woman", It is clear that Charles uses voice breaks to create a more emotional impact. The song was written at time where segregation was still a large part of American society. Therefore, this song suggests that...

...this relationship was one that was shunned upon within society at this time. The use of voice breaks in this song can truly show his emotions towards this woman and how much he loves her and how she treats him right rather just lyrics themselves... #F22POPMUS

@megan_savoury I agree with your point here - as AirPods is sort of a 'trend' to have and use, they can allow more people to choose to listen to music more frequently than before.

[emily pine @emilypine8]

@skryanmun I love this take on streaming services. Allowing society to have a more financially capable way to access music is important with our ever changing society as music is a huge part of our lives!
