Things

Genres
What makes a band and/or artists fit into a certain genre? Would it be their looks, sound, inspiration of just what one particular sound sounds like? Personally i don't think any band/artist should be placed into a genre based on only one of their songs but rather the way they perform and they way they have decided to create all of their songs. Some have spent their entire musical career based on one sound. Eventually many turn around and make a change. For instance they make take on a heavier sound or create songs with a lighter tone. We hope we can still tolerate them even though they're making this change and hope in the end the change is good. It's a 50/50 shot and not to mention you fell for the band they were before not for what they would have been a few years down the road. I myself look for music within the same genre but tends to push the limits. I want music that dares to be different and doesn't have some cliche sound developed to please the people. I want to listen to music made by the artists for the love of music and not for the love of money. Make the music you want and not the music they will make you the most money. I mean unless of course that's all you care about and then I'll have no respect for you.
What music can do
Besides providing entertainment music also serves as a means of motivation. during sports events there is also music playing to keep the fans engaged and to keep the team playing. When i song come on that has an upbeat and excited tone the fans are usually temped to cheer in their team some more and the teams become pumped and ready to play some more. Even just simply exercising many people bring personal music devices to keep them pumped. The music can help them run those extra couple minutes and do those last few sit-ups. I myself see a difference in my motivation levels when i forget to bring the music that pumps me up. If i don't have the music that makes me feel good playing while I'm trying to exercise i don't feel like i really want to keep going.
In relations to whats going on the world today music can help bring hope to people and families whom are affected by tragedies. I hold so much respect for an asrtists who use their musical talents and fame in order to put on shows as fundraisers to help get those people back on their feet. If only more celebrities could realize the potential they have to help others with their blessed success. If a celebrity puts on a benefit concert more are likely to show up because for one they are famous and doing something for the people and two its for a good cause and many will go out the support them and their cause.
Shows
Probably are the best part of music is when you can go to a show and be apart of it. At home you just listen to the music and maybe dance around with a few friends but at a show you get to experience the moment with the artists and others who frankly are more like you than the people you see elsewhere. Shows are a way to make friends and let loose. Depending on the type of show you are at people are going to be reacting differently to the music. Either way whats going on connects the people to the music and it's is a wonderful time. I try to go to as many shows as i can within the genres of music i listen to because i feel most comfortable there. I am surrounded by people that are like me and have the same interests and i can be able to be a little care free whereas if i were anywhere else trying to have fun that way i just would not be able too.
Clothes
Just because you listen to a certain type of music doesn't mean you have to dress, talk, or act a certain way. Generally speaking you tend to dress a particular way depending on the music you listen to. This doesn't apply to everyone. What matters most is the music and not the appearance. Most dress the way they do because it fits them. Another thing, just because some one dresses in a particular way it doesn't mean they do listen to a certain type of music. These two things are not always intertwined, sometimes things just happen. Music is a part of life and so is the way you look, whether we like it or not there's defiantly discrimination against people who dress a certain way or listen to a certain type of music. However, everyone has a different personality, that's why it's called a PERSONality and not a peoplesality. I am no saint when it comes to this but lately i try not to think only about the appearance of somebody but also on how they talk and present themselves. The music they listen to does not mean a person is any lesser then you or for that matter any better.

Ah celebrities, us so called "normal" folk can recognize you wherever you are. Some of us look up to you and are inspired by your works so why is it that you must continually make a song yet again telling us about how famous you are and how people love you and are following you. Frankly it's annoying and not to mention unoriginal. Textbook celebrities are letting us down and seem to be running out of ideas as to what music is and how to make it. Countless artists have made songs talking about how they are so famous and the paparazzi are always following them. If you weren't interested in being in the spotlight why is it that you decided to be a celebrity in the first place? If it's true that your intent was not to be in the lime light then stop causing a scene. Paparazzi are around to catch you (not with a helping hand) when you’re doing something that any of the rest of us would be cursed and looked down upon for doing. You go to night clubs and make a scene, you go out in public without panties on to reveal (if only unintentionally), you dance around on a stripper pole and act like you've done nothing obscene, you have gotten away with things that some of us can only have hoped to have gotten away with. After all these things you still have your fame and you still have your money. Somehow you even still have some self respect and those few fans respect.
Now let’s see what these poor celebrities complain about in their similar songs and not to mention similar videos.
-They think we want to know all of their secrets and what they do when they're with their friends; as if their life is so important to us
-Who their significant other is; because we're just so in love with them
-Only here say is what is produced for the public to see; except usually when asked they are too important to talk to a lesser person and answer their questions even if it would clear up any misunderstandings
-We're always watching them and looking at them in public; you're out in public do what you’re doing but don't do anything publically that you wouldn't want anyone to know about
-You need your space; let’s be honest not every single second of your life is on camera, some and maybe a good amount is but again you wanted to be famous you wanted to sing and become a celebrity
I'm probably not the only person who is tired of hearing about celebrities lives. We have our own lives to live and don't need to spend our precious time worrying about what shoes a celebrity bought, what coffee they bought, what sunglasses they are wearing, who they are dating or splitting up with. Why do we even let ourselves be concerned about these things? It makes no sense. Unless one celebrity does inspirational things and has led a very helpful and good life that you have always wanted to do you mustn’t concern yourself with what somebody you do not even know and probably will never knows life.

Another point I wish to bring up is originality, where has it gone? Down the drain it would seem. If this is all that the radio has succumb to and has decided to play I think that I’ll never listen to it again, except of course the few channels which still play older song which have the originality many of us are seeking. And the covering of songs...why is it that a good amount of songs played on the radio is covers of songs that were once tolerable? YOU'RE RUINING GOOD MUSIC! No you aren't making it better or anything like that, what you are doing is destroying the few good songs left. To be honest many people now days don't even realize that they are listening to a cover. All they know is that they are listening to a catchy dance song that sounds like everything else they've ever heard. What a joke.
Your job as celebrities is to entertain and so I again wish to make another important point, when are you going to make something entertaining? I'm tired of hearing the same song over and over again with a sort of different voice. Even voices these days sound the same. Countless times discoveries have even been made supporting the fact that there are secret faces behind the voices we're hearing. So start doing your jobs better. We're waiting.

This Is It.

I am not by any means certified to insult any band or singer however i am an avid listener of music, as are many, and i am declaring this as my way of expressing my opinions about artists. Just like many i have started out listening to one type of music and since then have grown out of it and developed new opinions about those bands.

Musical interests and taste changes as life does. The way you grow up can indeed influence the way you feel about a certain band or an entire genre. To this day i have recognized the lack of talent that is needed to become a radio sensation. It is not my intent to offend anyone who adores the radio but merely just to produce my input and ideas for the public to see. Whether or not you agree with me is entirely up to you. I will not think lower of anyone whom does not agree with my views or ideas.

Long before before radio, tapes and records music has been a big part in many peoples lives. It has been there throughout times of great turmoil, times of change, and times of utter and sheer happiness. Whatever the stance of a person's emotion music has been there to capture it all. Before tapes, records, and 8-tracks music has existed. Religions have produced song to express their faith, tribes have created songs to invoke hope and strength, whatever the case music has been there and always will be.

Growing up we do not always have somebody to depend on, somebody to tell else what to do or how to handle how we are feeling. We may be unsure as to what to do and so we need something to put under us a little life support. Artists have produced songs to explain the paths they have taken and the choices they have made. Keeping in mind that they are human we can find comfort in the fact that they have overcome obstacles which we may be experiencing in our own lives. Many can recall a time in their life when they just needed somebody to know how they felt and to help them though it so they put on a song that captured their exact emotion and thus were able to come out of their current slum.

For the most part great classics will be the foundation for new artists who hope to produce timeless pieces of their own. It is the duty of these artists to produce good music for those of us whom are not gifted with these musical abilities. Therefore we as a people must pick out the bad apples and separate them from the good.

So here we are stuck in a world full of wretched music blocking out the small wonders trying so hard to reach our ears. It doesn't take a special ability to sense an artists who will step over the boundaries of the norm where every song songs just like the next. You just simply have to pay attention to what separates each artists from the others.
