‘Why The New Girls Can’t Sing’

[Ol’Otis]

Until there's a glitch or malfunction. Then you get to hear their real vocals and it ain't the studio version

This happened to Mariah the Scientist and Sza
Their live vocals are horrible
Add Trey Songz in there

 

[dr. pill biden]

all the old heads are leads in the choir at church and they can SANG sang especially the brothers

when they pass its gonna be over

all the best instrumentalists learned at church too, they’re at least of my generation bc they woulda learned as kids from the same old heads in the 90s

but new gospel artists learned nikkaz dont go to church no more so its more profitable to crossover. none of them can sing anymore either they be on that crakka praise and worship sound now too

our native american culture is dying breh

 

[King Sun]

Can't forget Madonna, Paula Abdul, Keith Sweat, and Al B. Sure!


Once the Milli Vanilli experiments advanced with auto-tune and other studio tricks becoming available, even good ghost voices no longer became necessary ... any and every weak voice could be fixed and sound like magic.


Plenty of great voices still exist, if you want to hear current ones, you'll have to start looking more into underground R&B or gospel

Keith Sweat doesn't have the greatest voice but it was cool because he stayed in his key and style. He didn't try anything else but what he was doing. You got singers like Tems that go on horrible runs with their voice instead of staying in control it.

black church choirs dying

I thought the coli said church & religion was useless.
You can’t have it both ways

 

[Ol’Otis]

Keith Sweat

Naw breh Keef is off limits

They were the pioneer’s of pushing faux vocals

 

[KnowledgeOfSelf17]

The problem is that everything is computed

These producers now click and press loops with beats behind them.

None of these producers now are doing vocal guides and the professionalism died.

You had to be the best to even record and perform back then.The fans were the gate keepers until that died.

Think of it like this.

Comedians can’t go no where, without making people laugh all the time. Music was like that until it turned into some extreme payola brainwash since then, everything is a psychological operation.


It’s not even entertainment no more

To add on, most of the legends were background singers and producers prior to even getting put on.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Are there any older singers around to even give mentorship?

What was that Kendrick said about RnB singers not featuring on each others songs?

 

[tuckgod]

Some of the artists that fade were basically tax write offs and then were sabotaged on purpose to get rid of them
Watch this and look in the comments


The the popular side of the industry is a crime operation. They going after YSL, but if they are guilty they’re literally just doing what the cacs and “other” BEEN doing

And then that book called The (three letter)s War on Tupac which lists all the black artists who got taken out

Damn good lookin

Finna check this out right now

 

[Wild self]

also church singing has become a comedic tool

there is no way to maintain your cool & do it

folks are super conscious of their image now

so to be the begging crying burst a blood vessel sweating out your outfit ass type of vocalist is not the look or feel anymore

i said something similar about dancing

as much as people celebrate & respect the greats they all become punchlines

try hards die hard & effort is never seen as cool

we will have artificial intelligence to entertain us just around the corner ha

Been that way for over 16 years now. When people getting off the autotune wave? Or is it a permanent tool to keep black artists artistically crippled?

Blame the Strip Club, clout, and social media for that.

 

[Wild self]

Ppl stopped going to church, lack of music education in schools

And advances intechnology

Once we got music videos and now social media an artist appearance is more important than ever

Plus studio magic

Record labels more likely to invest in an artist with a certain look and presence. Talent is secondary

And now with social media and streaming the under 25 crowd have become musics biggest market so ageism has gotten worst...social media influencers are now celebrities ...It's now easier than ever for independent artist to get their music heard and gain an audience

Young ppl generally dont care if a artist is off key as long as the beat is good and song catchy

Gen Z is all about Drill Music and zero dedication on love.

 

[Mowgli]

R&b music is dead without the church.

people are not likely to go back to doing things in a more difficult fashion no*

So discipline and effort = difficult?

Imagine if actual real world working professions, and even formal education, started to take that shortcut philosophy....society will fall apart.

Putting discipline and QUALITY makes things BETTER, not DIFFICULT. That's that crackhead mentality.
