Those of you inclined to watch American Idol will remember that hotshot Usher, mentored the contestants (hey yeah remember its a contest?) a few weeks ago.
But whats interesting is after the man participates in the horror he has the nerve to bash the concept. Seems to me its poor timing or the AI check already cleared but according to Mr Sher,
“The true art form of music is being lost, because it seems so easy that everyone can do it, and that it can happen overnight. Television is a lie. It can’t happen overnight. The artist who thinks that it can just comes and goes. The reason why great singers cannot exist in this time is maybe because they’re not properly managed, and maybe they don’t understand the full gamut of what being an entertainer is. “We’re dealing with an industry that is slowly but surely dying, every day. There’s the record companies that are mass-producing these versions of these people; versions of this broken art. While it works, because it sells records, it damages the business.”
That was a direct quote.
I read it like five times too and it still makes no sense whatsoever. But I think what hes trying to say is what Ive been saying along,
American Idol sucks and we as the general public are having mediocrity jammed down our throat and were supposed to like it.
What hes on about with the music industry dying could well just be the Grey Goose talkin……..dunno.
