Wow....that was REALLY good. It also shows that today's music (opinions about secular music not withstanding) has the potential to be real music IF......record labels and producers would just let the music be and stop trying to package it in a way that makes it appealing to the masses but is devoid of true musicality.
I think it's more a matter of economics. As long as producers can sell records without having to pay musicians, they will continue to do so. It's up to the consumers to demand quality music.
Man these cats are bad. This cat can sing & dude on bass is a beast. Anytime can make a Justin Beiber song sound good, you are doing something right. I know it's not gospel, but u have to appreciate talent like this. Dirty Loops Baby (Justin Bieber cover)
But that begs the question: Doesn't the fact that the masses place value on "inferior" music prove it's quality?
But that begs the question: Doesn't the fact that the masses place value on "inferior" music prove it's quality? If it's so bad, why do so many people like it? Isn't a bit pretentious of us musicians to try to tell everybody what good music is just because we "studied it" and are more qualified to judge it? Maybe we are unfairly biased. </alrdynostheansrs>I can't believe I didn't post here the first time around. LOL, I've been watching that video ever since, but I forgot to post about it in this thread for some reason. I know this isn't the Justin Beiber thread, but the Metal remix of "Baby" (with metal instrumentation dubbed over JB's original vocals) is pretty cool. Also, the 8Bit cover of it is vastly superior to the original.
