It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. They did Seven Wonders, Go Your Own Way, Stand Back, and a few other Mac-related songs on that show apparently.

honestly, not surprised. American Idol is an institution designed and run by the record industry. They have a vested interest in spoon feeding people the entertrainment they SHOULD buy and artists they SHOULD listen to. That includes plugging old songs that were hits before. Why reinvent the wheel or be original when there are decades of old songs to mine. Save the "good" original songs for when the Idol "wins" and they need an album of original material to sell to the brainless masses that thing winning a talent show is in any way shape or form close to the years of work bands used to have to do perfecting their unique sound and style. Why bother when you can have a half wit "judge" tell you what you should do and copy someone else.
American Idol and the PreFab Boy Group/ Girl Solo act/AMerican Idol was the end of the Music Industry, NOT Napster or iTunes. |

Wellllllll. Ummmmm. Sorry, but being technical that's not really true. American Idol wasn't really created by the record industry per se. It has a long drawn out history... TV talent shows go back a long way. But in modern times...
Musical talent shows have gone back years and years (I remember a show in the UK when I was a kid in the 80's called 'New Faces'). I think they have their place. I think people nowadays know they its just throwaway TV. It got a bit annoying when the Christmas number one in the UK was always a manufactured TV artist. However (though I don't know what its like overseas), that fad seems to have passed in the UK. TV talent shows occasionally turn up a genuine talent, but more often than not those singers tend to end up singing in musicals after one or two decent songs. Thus, I'm not sure true talent and graft have really been compromised. Those who do well in the industry continue to be artists or bands with genuine talent who have worked their way up from the bottom. Is it really the end of the music industry?....I'd personally say...no. It has its place but doesn't replace true creativity which will always find its way to the top. Genuinely good singers put themselves in the shop window and end up with a decent career in musical theatre. PS: though playing 'old' songs will generate some income for those holding the publishing rights, this will mean relatively peanuts for the record labels themselves.

My girlfriend called me in from the kitchen as the same girl just performed Dreams tonight. From the bit I heard it sounded good, another very unique take. I'm not a fan of Idol, though, it especially annoys me how they only do less than half of the song. I know it's for time constraints but I could do with less/no Ryan Seacrest fakeness and more song.

smokey voice suits the song in a lounge singer way but the professional instrumentation elevates it beyond your same old stuff imo. |
