It is what it is

@jillldoyle WOW Jillian, fantastic point. Canadian artists are now more popular than ever before, making a Canadian quota unnecessary. It's great to see Canadian artists give Canada such a great reputation in the music industry #MUS2011W21

@nathandunne31 Great point Nathan, as I also agree it is not necessary to enforce a quota of Canadian content. Now more than ever Canadian artists are being listened to and recognized for their talents. #MUS2011W21

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

I think enforcing a quota of Canadian content is unnecessary. With all the access that music streaming services give today, people are going to listen to whatever they prefer. Although, a quota for Canadian content is a great way to kickstart a new artist's career. #MUS2011W21

@nathandunne31 #MUS2011W21 Great tweet Nathan. I agree with Wald's statement but I also see your point as it is not fair to make such a general statement about all present day pop fans when not everybody has the same musical preference

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

#MUS2011W21 I agree with Wald’s statement. It seems as many fans of the pop genre prefer to dance to their favorite virtual records rather than a live cover version. Live covers in the pop genre typically have trouble portraying the same vibe that the original record gives.

@nathandunne31 #MUS2011W21 Great point Nathan! It’s amazing how everyone’s musical perspective can be different. I believe artist’s expressing their perspective through the history of a song is a fantastic way to do so.

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

#MUS2011W21 Artists with the ability to alter an original song by presenting it from their own perspective demonstrates real talent in my opinion. Although this can be viewed as “schlock”, I believe covers should not be dismissed as long as the original artist is credited.

#MUS2011W21 Using a breaking voice gave Ray Charles a unique sound to his music as Charles presented one of the most recognizable voices in music history. His song I've got a women evidently displays the passion he felt for his music.

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

@nathandunne31 Well said Nathan! The influence technology has had on the evolution of music is fascinating. Now people have the opportunity to listen to their favourite songs wirelessly whenever and wherever they desire. #MUS2011W21

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

@jillldoyle #MUS2011W21 WOW. Very well said Jillian. Having the ability to discover new music through your peers has never been so easy. Exploring new music can be exciting as digital music platforms bring excitement to listeners everyday.

[Mark King @Mark_king45]

#MUS2011W21 The wide variety of streaming platforms in 2021 gives listeners the opportunity to choose exactly what they want to hear when they wanna hear it. With this easy access to music, people have the ability to discover new music everyday.
