How I Feel About Modern Music and Artist...

As an aspiring singer myself, I firmly believe that the music industry has become nothing more than just a competitive business filled with incompetent singers and rappers who create insensible music that has been rejuvenated from past formulaic radio singles. Sure, today's music is poppy and with its catchy tunes, but it only lasts for a season, then, today's tunes is in tomorrow's distant memory. Now, I must say there are in deed some artist I believe that have created a path of longevity, to where they have not become so much of a commodity to the industry's desires by forming a musical sound that originates their own aura and shines at their best. Artists like Christina Aguilera, Chrisette Michelle, Beyoncè Knowles, Kaynè West, Jennifer Hudson, Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, John Legend, and Ne-Yo are some who have found instant success. (There are many other artist out there who have achieved a semi-success career, too with Top Ten Billboard radio singles and heavy rotation on urban, pop, and adult contemporary radio stations...). All other artist, fall under the category of struggling to stay relevant or simply have disappeared. The music industry is always constantly in rotation and it can go forward or reverse backward abruptly. And with the music, as it changes, people change. You see a lot of artist coming out with a hot single or they're career only last for so long due to that one record. And then, the next minute you know, America's radio station is on to something entirely different. Now, artist are force to set trends with their music it's no wonder why almost everything you hear on the radio sounds like something so familiar because the producer re-creates that specific sound and switch it around just a bit. I like good quality music, and I'm a teenager, so I still do follow up after the more contemporary music. But, what really captivates me as a music listener is an artist that displays versatility and shows their audience that they can't be molded into just only one particular style.
