@cawadman @k_vavMUN I love a great live show too! It is a very powerful experience listening to real lyrics/music without auto-tune. I agree that artists sounds very different, awful technology!

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

#W23POPMUS Young people prefer different technologies and would rather listen to music from Spotify. On the other hand, live concerts like Taylor Swift are selling out to younger people. Auto-tune can make awful singers sound great and really bad singers sound like computers.

@bgmcgrath10 I agree that throughout history "Cultural theft" borrowing the great African music over and over again. The white middle class exploited and used their Music.

@liamcroucher4 I agree that "schlock rock" was a form of cultural theft borrowing great artistic works by artist like "Little Richard" who totally rocked the song "Tutti Frutti". It is a white privilege.

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

#W23POPMUS Music is valued when society is educated and understands the history and its connection to the African-American music. Little Richard’s songs were banned from white radio, white people were attending his concerts and enjoying the rocking frenetic performance style.

@bradleyhodder_ I agree, that Ray Charles used his voice in a way to portray a style and sound that reflected his life experiences. His brassy, breaking voice signified a raw, brash, joyful and tearful all in one song.

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

Ray Charles used a breaking voice to illustrate expressive passionate paradoxes; like a blues pop star. The breaks in his singing made him sound like a voice with years of experience. Ray Charles is someone who had seen all the hopes and mistakes of people.

@cwleamon I agree Spotify is good for introducing individuals to sounds they may not otherwise have heard locally, but so did good record stores. I like how Spotify allows people to check out an artist's work before committing to purchasing the album, and thereby supporting the artist.

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

I like headphones for active listening, but I'll take a solid album on a turntable over portable playlists & streaming services any day. Give me a tangible record or CD with the artwork, credits & drummer's name in there and I'll at least know the artist got fair pay. #S22POPMUS

@marilyn_brandy I agree, popular music appeals to a passive audience. Corporate entertainment make profits by influencing a generation, especially younger to listen and buy swag. Others reject the top 40 relying more on personal preference listening to artists whose work may never “chart”.

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

@cwleamon Yes, I agree that popular music appeals to a passive audience, a dumbed-down firm of music. However,sometimes work of genius enters the Top 40 , like Lady Gala. Generally speaking,there are artists of great talent and integrity who remain overlooked.

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

False needs created by pop music include the “need” to keep up with the newest/latest. Pop music is not intellectual art, generally speaking. Some people let the Top 40 dictate the sounds and styles they hear, which is like letting entertainment corporations lead them. #s22popmus

[Michelle Isaacs @Michell42577033]

Popular music must must always be viewed from a broader musical landscape in which many different styles and audiences interact in different ways . I agree that in everyday life people do not think or listen carefully and creditably to the music that they hear. # #s22popmus
