Why Can't People Sing Like Mariah Carey Or Whitney Houston Anymore?

[bogey_j]

what happened to all the powerhouse vocalists in mainstream music? why have they just...disappeared?

listening to Mariah's 'vision of love' and gotdayum that girl could sing they don't make 'em like that anymore...

 

[Complexion]

Everyone wanna shine, no one wanna grind.

 

[Matt504]

There are singers who can, it's just no longer a requirement.

 

[FeverPitch2]

They're not required to.
The major labels dont want to deal with that level of talent anymore
They want their talent disposable, like Cardi B

 

[Tom Foolery]

Unless you are white, you don't get that push.

 

[Koba St]

Because black women are being pushed out of the industry.

 

[UpAndComing]

Cause they ain't searching for them anymore. They meaning the record companies

Put yourself in the shoes of a Record label person. Its more of an investment for a Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston type to nurture and push their career

There's like next to 0 investment in artist development for these shytty singers, and easy to replace. And the shytty singers have less power/clout to challenge the Record companies. Win win for them

It's funny to me but, there was a time folks talked about Hip Hop being dead but what they didn't realize was Hip Hop was also killing off other forms of artistry associated with Black folks. Musicianship, ability to play actual instruments, vocal training, and probably a gang of other artistry I'm missing all suffered as a result of Hip Hop's popularity among the youth. Look at a group like NWA and folks immediately think of Dre's production, but forget that DJ Yella was playing drums on that sh!t. They had a white dude Donovan the guitar man. How many producers in Hip Hop are playing real drums nowadays? Or can play a piano? Everything is electronic nowadays and the musicianship is suffering. Probably the same way with vocalists. How many folks are growing up singing in the church nowadays? Not remotely as many as it used to be I imagine.

it is very expensive to invest corporate money into singing divas today. record companys are trying to cut cost

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

Lot of people who lack the funds to get a voice coach

lot of young folk don’t mess with the church or aren’t brought up in it so no shot at them getting any training from gospel choir

there’s still some out there, but with everybody making albums in their bedroom these days you gonna have to do a lot of digging.

 

[Take It In Blood]

They can but it's probably not as marketable anymore


Same thing goes with hip-hop lyricist, they exist but the retards who consume music these days don't care for it


If a stripper can't pop her booty to a song whether it be Rnb or hip-hop it's not going to be successful

 

[hayesc0]

Mariah Carey can't sing like Mariah anymore lol.

 

[010101]

that takes time & discipline

folks rather just let the studio.magic do all the work

[010101]

Mariah Carey can't sing like Mariah anymore lol.

that belted run heavy vocal acrobatic style will eventually get to a singer

vocal cords be scarred & torn up
