Country music has become a genre for those with a tiny bit of talent that can't make it anywhere else.

Hardly. Country fans are some of the most discriminating out there. "Grand Ole Opry" is one of the longest running radio programs and live stage talent arenas where, there's no lip syncing ever. If you don't have the talent your feet don't even touch the hardwood of the back stage.

No, talent that can't make it anywhere else describes the genre of pop music. Where auto-tune makes no skill pretty girls millionaires because the demographic they're pimped to is between 8 and 12 years old. Britney Spears is the most obvious of these auto-tune Baribie's. Selena Gomez is another.




This is how she sounds when she's singing with the studio feed that the audience hears. This is what her sound team hears.

I once watched a program wherein the topic was todays pop music industry and the lip sync that is so prevalent in the business, when true vocal talent seems the minority. This producer said, if you can hum the alphabet, I can make you a star.

That's truly pathetic. In this economy when good people are losing everything, people who have no right to be millionaires as the next teen diva, because they have no true vocal skill, are driving Bentley's, drinking in clubs regardless of the fact they're a minor, overdosing on drugs, buying mansions they otherwise would never afford, dressing like hookers on stage so that clothing manufacturers make similar patterns for their "biggest screaming juvenile fans", wherein a good breeze upends that micro-mini and shows some perv behind her everything a child has no business showing much less a real man would look at, and it's all big business that inspires young no talent girl fans to wanna be just like Britney, just like Selena. And thanks to auto-tune, if they're pretty, they can be. And then, insult of all insults atop all that BS, those false icons are deemed "role models".

And when they over do on excess because they're rich famous and make the label a bloody fortune, they're castigated into the realm of bad child! And the question is then posed; you're a role model! How do you explain this behavior to your fans?

Funny thing is, it's pop frauds that this happens to. Not (hardly ever if so) young country music talent.

I dislike country music. I dislike the nasal twangs, the lyrics the way its played, the sentiment.

Lets remember it was coun=try music that brought us achey breaky heart. reason enough to dang it to heck i think.
