A lot of people heard of singers like Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and so on so forth. But with me getting older, it seems I'm starting to hear of these singers with odd names that are pretty popular and yet...I don't think I've heard of many of them.
Singers like Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Meghan Thee Stallon, Bad Bunny, Lizzo (ok I've heard of her), there are new singers out there and yet.... who the hell are they?
Maybe with me enjoying different music and well...maybe being stuck in the past listening to 80s or even 90s music, I guess I just, lost touch with the singers of today.
Although I've heard of some like Post Malone, these singers pick odd names to just be famous. Halsey is actually an anagram for Ashley, her real name. I've heard of her, but some of these singers are not to my liking.
Some can't even sing. Remember Rebecca Black? Her life was ruined by one song. Some of these new singers are auto tuning to be great.
Some of these new singers were found on YouTube or even TikTok or other sites that make stars out of anyone. These new singers, some were discovered from those websites. Can some of them even sing? I don't know. I know I can but...I don't make a career out of it, even if I can. I have another path in life that will make me happy.
Some singers destroy songs that were good. Nicki Minaj destroyed "Baby got Back" a song created by another singer named Sir-Mix-Alot. How did she do it, using cuts of the song for her hit 'Anaconda' I don't know how or why she became famous, but she isn't the only one to nearly destroy other songs. Jessica Simpson did as well with John Mellencamp's song 'Jack and Diane'. Even hearing the beginning sting of "Under Pressure" it ends up being an "Ice-Ice Baby" song by Vanilla Ice. Happy to say, he's no longer in the music business.
Even Machine Gun Kelly is considered a rapper who's more known for screwing around than singing. I don't get these people. Every time I see a new episode of SNL (which might have gone stale by now) they put in new bands or singers I just don't know. Who would name their band Japanses Breakfast?
It's hard to explain what music is now. It's already the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop. Some people still like that genre as others decide there should be something new to listen to. I'm getting old I know that, and there are singers out there that I will never here of in my life, and more will come soon, and I won't hear of them as well.
