Do you feel this way too? I am fully aware I have the control of turning the channel but that still doesn't make the problem I see in the music industry go away any sooner: What is the problem?- I am no music critic but as one of the older members on this board, I can tell you; the music industry and most of its female artist have ''lowered" the bar and instead of relying on real talent and true vocals like legendary artist from past era's, we and our children are being beseiged with images of our favorite female singers parade around in video's looking like soft porn stars.
How I long for the days of Motown or the Philly sound. When singers were real singers and they didn't rely on gimmicks, sampling or being half dressed in order to sell records.
I once heard r&B singer Patti Labelle say in an interview how she would not let the music industry ''Pimp Her". (or something like that), I remember being blown away at her honesty. It also revealed something very unsettling about the way show business really work
esepcially when it comes to the promotion and marketing of the female artist.
One of our male cousins who happened to have been quit the ladies man and always out to score with the ladies, said to me and another relative how he thought everything on the radio to him sounded like "junk" (his words, not mine). And he went on to express how disappointed he was in 2 particular female singers( whom he adores), for putting out video's in recent years exposing too much of their bodies. He said he no longer see their video's as art anymore. he literally sounded angry/disgusted and said these 2 female artist( in his opinion)have lost respect for themselves. He is in his early 30's.
You don't have to be my age, to understand exactly where I am coming from on this subject.
I've heard many younger people discuss this very topic on tv and radio. Critic's for years have been writing about the decline in today's music, they site various reason's but the matter of the female artist lowering the bar, seems to make it's way into the discussion.
Wanna hear your opinion. hope I explained myself good enough so you could understand.
Thanks.
