God I hate this idea. I'm no pop music fan, but bashing it because it's just "commercial shit" when there were LOADS of acts like these when rock was popular is very ironic. I'm sure this is what our grandparents thought of rock music too. |
What I mean is that most pop music litterally isn't real. Get somebody who's good looking and has a decent voice. Give them lyrics. Make beats in a studio. Auto-tune their voice to perfection. Lip-synch at concerts and live performances. Profit. Here are some quotes backing up my claims.
"You had to be a bad singer in order for that thing to actually sound the way it does. If you use it and you sing into it correctly, it doesn't do anything to your voice." - Trey Parker, voice actor
"Right now, if you listen to pop, everything is in perfect pitch, perfect time and perfect tune. That's how ubiquitous Auto-Tune is." - Rick Rubin, music producer
"It's a little bit overused these days. Mainly with singers who look better than they sing." - Erwin Musper, music producer
There was also a study done covering 1955-2010 proves that modern pop music sounds the same.

Auto-tune's first stable release was in 1997.
"On my business card I am a corporate president. In my mind I am a game developer. But in my heart I am a gamer." - Satoru Iwata
