@amybfisher These are my friends!! I’ll send the post along to them! Such a cute pic

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@Taylor82653790 Yes so true!! Giving them radio time allows for an effective way for people to hear music from their country and appreciate the talent within #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@CoozeLauren I agree! It gives the artist time and a practical way to be heard. #MUNMUS2011

It is so nice to see Canadians support each other in all aspects of life. Canada is often known for this type of love and support and it should continue in the music industry.

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

#MUNMUS2011 It is necessary to enforce a quota for these Canadian artists, if it is done right. There should be equal time allotted for those who are already well-known Canadian superstars and those who are yet to be discovered. Canadians supporting each other is so important.

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@EmileeFarrell16 I agree! There should be a chance for undiscovered artists to have a shot with be recognized and not just the big Canadian superstars like you mentioned. #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@kait_saunders_ I agree! I love seeing how different artists adapt and add their own personal touches! #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@Taylor82653790 For sure! It’s a great way to experience the music, I spend a lot of time in Toronto and live bands are everywhere. A great way for people to follow their passion! #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@jane1_kenny Definitely! Variety is something this generation craves a lot of the time. A chance to follow different things, such as music, is also a big attraction to newer generations! #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

#MUNMUS2011 I agree with Wald’s assignment to an extent. Acoustic covers bring a complete different tone to the song and often times a bigger hit. But, live versions typically carry a bigger sense of community. Generations now may like live artists but it tends to swing both ways

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@kboliver12 @KaylaWoodman2 @DkoreillyMusic I also agree with this! With gaining presmission it shows respect for the artist as well as giving both versions of the songs publicity. #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@jessie21199111 I completely agree that it would be ignorant to say this isn’t cultural theft. This happened so frequently in the past and it wasn’t just limited to the music industry #munmus2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@jennybent3 @HutchinsonAmoy This is so sad! Fortunately today, black artists are more respected and valued throughout all genres of music. #munmus2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

#munmus2011 These covers are known as “schlock” because the core value of the song has been changed. It is cultural thrift because of the downgrading it shows towards other artists - something that was so prominent in this time. Although disrespectful, this was sadly their normal

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@CGuzzwell Yes! Raspy voices like that typically seem to do well in the music industry, especially with blues. Ray Charles always seemed to choose uniqueness which is great #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@beck_gould Yes so true! Some of his own techniques really thrived within other blues music and had an impact for many years after. #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@brittneygg3 I totally agree! Artists now even seen his success (such as Kayne) and learned from him. He chose a different route but at the end of the day, it worked so well for him. #MUNMUS2011

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

#MUNMUS2011 Ray Charles uses breaking in his voice to emphasize emotion; something he likes to portray in his lyrics. The bridge he creates allows the listeners to have a more intimate relation with his songs. Blues tend to have lyrics with deeper meaning much like Ray Charles.

[Sarah Lander @SarahLander16]

@CGuzzwell Yes so true! This is very beneficial for artists to get their name out there to have their passion discovered. Much more affordable and I personally love listening to all kinds of artists, not just those that reach top of the charts. #MUNMUS2011

#MUNMUS2011 Music devices have individual character and is a great way to understand different personalities. It is a way to enter the core of someone and understand who they are because music is passionate. Having playlists and devices makes this more accessible.
