I believe the death of music is not what most people would think.
Technology I believe has the potential to actually enhance what real musicians can do. Creative and gifted minds can really use it to create great music.
Producers like Kayne West and Timbaland or Pharrell would'nt be recognized as the most prolific musicians of our time, although from what I know they would'nt be bad, but in front of a MPC or Miko and the latetest drum machine, most people consider them genius.
No technology is not the villian here- the death of great music is.....the VIDEO!
Sorry Mike (MJ)the most talented artist and the biggest influence ever of the genre. (RIP)
Don't get me wrong, I love a good video and I get the visual aspect to selling music, I use it myself.
My biggest gripe is the order of things, which is not, music first...video second, but instead it's video first, music second!
Today it is more important to look good than to sound good! Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good music out there if you dig through the bones,however, most of the hits are songs they wear you out with via radio and videos.
After you hear "Mary Had a little lamb" 20,000 times, you can't help but remember it,sing it and maybe even buy it!
Today, too many weak songs become hits and too many weak singers become STARS! (sorry Brittney)
