Where is music going? What has it become, and what will the outcome be? Those are the things I'm going to go into during this blog entry. The Grammy awards were just a couple days and they were not what many expected. The tribute to Aretha Franklin and her 18 Grammy Awards was good. Its difficult to compare Aretha's voice to those who sing her songs.
Lady Gaga came in an egg for some reason. While some love her new track " express yourself" Oops! I mean "born this way" and the records it's broken on i-Tunes and digital downloads many are finding her antics a bit much and annoying.
Where is music going, it seems as if we have taken a solid turn into house music. If I would have known back in Chicago that music would be like this, I would have stayed in production and mixing. I love this music, the energy and the feeling. Everyone from David Guetta, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, and even Britney Spears have joined in to make great dance tracks that just a year or so ago if played on the radio would be considered "techno". Well now those "techno" songs break digital sales records and are now the norm of pop music and it's future, for now. These new era tracks are great for the club dj who needs the beats and keep the crowd dancing. As a big believer of house/dance tracks I hope this music keeps going and stays around for a long time.
It's hard believe that no one buys music anymore. What would happen to your daily life if you went and turned on your radio on the way to work and nothing was on the radio? What about that job you went to school for eight years to earn that degree. You're in court and you win a huge case and you go to get paid and nope, no pay for you. That's what happens when you illegally download music. You're stealing from your favorite artist. You're stealing money which is a crime/ against the law. If you cannot afford or chose not to purchase a song, you don't deserve to listen to it or enjoy it at all. Stop stealing music. Respect the artists and their hardwork, and soul that goes into each and every track. Many fans do not know that producing an album can easy cost several hundred thousand dollars, while a single can cost several thousand. Depending on the producers, engineers, the studio time, and the million other factors that go into creating one track, an artist or label is paying major money. Next time before you think about illegally downloading that song, think about all the people affected by it, and that you're breaking the law and stealing
Did you know downloading music and getting caught can lead to severe penalties and a criminal record. That charge will remain on your record can affect you getting a job, and many other objectives you have.
Think about it. Is $.99 cents worth stealing?
Feel free to comment or to ask me questions about anything.
Thanks
