    Just to be clear, I wasn't dissing the young lady - she may well be fairly talented. But to me, the voice on that track sounded like something from Alvin and the Chipmunks rather than a human voice.
    Why are you putting so much emphasis on the vocals? It's not like there's a correct approach to vocals in music. Besides I like her vocals, there's an ethereal quality to them. She's a producer first and foremost though, her vocals are just another layer to the music. She writes and produces all her own music, is a multi-instrumentalist, directs her own music videos, and creates her own artwork. And without the help of major label backing.

    The fact that X-Factor contestants get rewarded more for putting in far less work proves that it's the record industry that's the problem, not the artists.

    I think there are some good songs but not many good artists. Hot Tramp by The Riptide Movement and Resurrect Me By All Tvvins are two excellent tunes, but I don't like anything else from those bands. It's the same with any other good music I hear. I search for other tracks from that artist and there's nothing else I like. There's nobody out there now that I'd like to see in concert.

    Pop music has always been ****. You're all getting old. simple as. Its basic psychology of "back in my day" whether you like it or not. Kids will always listen to **** you don't like, for that precise reason. IT wouldn't be cool and edgy if yous bunch of 40-50 year old farts liked it.

    it's terrible nowadays, I watched top of the pops 1984 the other day and was blown away, still have goose bumps.

    my dad grew up and was "cool young" in the 60's and all of the references for that generation are all music based cos it was an amazing time like liverpool for the beatles, woodstock, the summer of love, etc, the stones, rod stewart, bob dylan easy rider, the graduate, the pill etc etc.

    I grew up in the 80's and It was MTV time and movies seemed to define our generation a bit more than the previous ones, breakfast club, dirty dancing, flashdance, saturday night fever (although strictly 70's hugely popular in the 80's)
    the music was amazing and it married film perfectly..I feel it's as good as it ever got...I could literally cry with nostalgia when I hear the first few beats of I'm on fire..boys of summer...everybody wants to rule the world..I could dream about you...dont you forget about me...every rose has it's thorn..the heat is on..****ing crockett's theme ..... the 1990's were cool too, less so but still cool. Oasis, blur, suade, pulp fiction, the matrix, sound garden, ice cube....

    what have we got today??? michelle pfeiffer as white gold... miley flash the gash cyrus... it's all sampled and unoriginal shyte..it would have to be for ed sheeran to proliferate as he does....standing in front of 4 jesters in emperors new clothes?? this is the way young stars hone their craft..a red ****ing buzzer!!!

    I think it's important to seperate the entertainment industry from the music industry.

    The entertainment industry is boy girl bands singing and dancing over a track written by a producer or professional songwriter. X factor type stuff.


    The music industry comprises of musicians and songwriters producing their own material.


    There are some great artists out there in 2018, they just don't have the same commercial exposure as they once did. You're not going to hear them on peak time commercial radio.


    You need to dig a little deeper to find them.
