real music is dying

I'm not a big fan of a lot of the modern day pop. I mean I still like  some of the singers like Colbie Caillet , Sara barellies, Christina Perri and  Taylor Swift ( some of  her new songs but I like her older songs best). When did the music industry stop being about raw talent. Todays music seems all about the clothes  or special effects.
 For awhile I felt like lady gaga was only famous because of the crazy outfit she wears.she put away the costumes and auto tune for a little while and I was impressed (.see here https://youtu.be/dSgQqSmZz6k ) dang why can't she sing like that all the time.


Katy Perry is all about the special effects , just look at her super bowl performance. I was so distracted that I couldn't even focus on her singing.


Anyway,  too many stars are using auto tune. Seriously? Someday everyone ( except for the select few that know  good music ) will be listening to robot music ( techno).  "performers" will say " what's an acoustic guitar?  We have a button on our sound board that makes Guitar sounds, does that count?". That will be the day the music dies, ( actually the day the music died was when Buddy Holly , the big bopper and Richie Valens died in a plane crash . But you young ones probably don't know who any of those people are).
They point is I want to see singers who are actually talented. They know how to play an instruments and sing without auto tune  ( it's ok if their voice cracks sometimes , for some singers it's actually pretty sexy). They shouldn't need to be extravagant with props to have a good show.
That's what I like about the oldies , people actually used their God given talents of singing and dancing. It was tougher to become famous but if  a band/ solo artist made it big , they were grateful.
Now days people just have to spread a video around the internet and instant fame. People don't even need many instruments to make music , they have computers. If they got a repetitive ear worm tune , they've got the minds of thousands of teenagers. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between singers on the radio because they are lacking individuality.


I don't mean to offend anyone , just typing what is on my mind. Rant over.


Rock on,
