Music or noise pollution?
Nowadays artists.. Ooops, I mean singers… No, one can’t even call them singers..
Ok, let’s call them pseudo-singers. What do they do? Or better: What can they afford?
Most of them were rescued thanks to the great invention called video clips.
Why? Because you don’t have to sing any more but just have a great body and if you don’t you get some chicks, let them ‘dance’ and there you go with millions of dollars.
Starting from Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake to Fergie, 50 Cent and Paris Hilton.. They are ‘not exactly using their voice’ to get famous..
And then people wonder why I don’t watch music channels any more…
You may listen to their songs because of the beat or maybe it gets you in a dancing mood but after a couple of days/weeks you find yourself listening to something/someone else.
So, what can we say about most of the pseudo-singers we have right now? It’s rubbish what they’re presenting. In other words: Noise pollution.
Now a nice comparison..
If you listen to the songs of cartoons like “The Little Mermaid”, “Thumbelina” or “The Prince of Egypt” you’ll just get fascinated by the songs and the voices. The composers and the singers of the soundtracks are really admirable.
So, in movies, especially cartoons you get to hear better music than the rubbish which the music channels offers you.
Here you go with: “The Little Mermaid – Part Of Your World”
(First press play then pause and leave it until it has finished loading, so it doesn't buffer and you can enjoy it in spades.)
And now compare it with the one by Jessica Simpson (she ruined the song): (I really wonder what she was doing while singing.. Running amok?!)

y3ni 3shan el comparison yb2a reasonable w persuasive, plz, next time bring a better example than cartoons.
I think it's a good comparison because it shows that children get better music than we do (to a certain extent).
Although I looooove these disney cartoon songs, I don't agree with u! In the beginning i thought u were going to talk about the new egyptian "singers" on melody we keda! Ba3deen gaiba Kyle we Fergie! HA! Britney and Paris suck but what about the rest. I think they r great! It is only another type of music than the one in the cartoons. And there is no problem in liking both of them!
Have you ever listened to Fergie or Kylie live? Or at least when they were singing without a playback?
First of all, the lyrics: no comment.
Second, the music itself: not to be compared with an orchestra playing (like in cartoon songs).
Third, the video-clip: NO comment.
Forth, the voice: anyone can sing that.
Fifth, The new arabic singers are really a shame but one of the reasons is that they just try to copy Fergie and Kylie.
And as I said, the songs may have a great beat and one can like them but that doesn't mean that the composition itself is geat. On the contrary, if you compare it with ANY disney song it's rubbish!
I'm talking about the quality, not about the popularity.
Quality is a subjective perspective. U cannot damn all these tzpe of music just because u don't like it. In an orchestra the harmony of the instruments is what counts, in such songs it is more - what u call - the beat. I like this music and i also like the other type and i listen to them in different ocassions. And u have to admit that kyle and fergie have a strong voice.
By quality I mean that when you start to analyse the song itself you won't find any part where you'd say: Wow, how did he compose this melody and used the instruments like that.
And excuse me, if you said Christina Aguilera or Katie Melua I would have said yes, they have a strong voice but Fergie and Kylie really missed their job. Listen to them in The Dome or some other concert and then you'll know what I'm talking about. The voices of the songs which we download don't have anything to do with their real voices.
By the way, I'm not saying that I don't listen to this stuff. All what I'm trying to bring out is that one should distinguish between what one likes to hear and what is of value.
