I cannot believe how much MTV has changed from when it first started. After watching the video clip of “Video Killed the Radio Star”, I realized that MTV isn’t really like that anymore. I do not know the last time that I turned MTV on saw music videos. Now, the only shows that you will find on there are reality shows and anything that has to do with drama. It is wild to me how much MTV has changed even since I was younger. I remember sitting and watching the TV for hours because I loved watching the music.
I do agree that music is based a lot on looks. I think that if you are a good looking decent singer, then you will make it in the music industry. One example that I can think of is Katy Perry. She is newer to the business, but she has become a huge star. When you hear her sing on her album she sounds amazing and has the best voice ever. When you hear her sing live it is not the same as the album. If you have ever seen her on TV she always dresses in a very eccentric way and her outfits are a huge deal. I think that when you are an artist in the music industry, that your voice should be the number one thing on the list of must-haves.

ReplyDeleteTechnology can make just about anyone sound good on record. Live is a different story : )
I'm fine with voices that aren't conventionally "good" (I like a lot of punk rock), but there's something soulless about that computer pitch corrected stuff, esp. when someone can't hit ANY of the notes in a live setting.
