When I speak on music, it comes from a good and sincere place. I just need to throw that card on the table real quick. Umkay? I love music and I don’t like when it’s messed over.
Now!
I feel blessed to have never invested one penny on a Jennifer Lopez album. Nor one second looking for her on Spotify. I’m not here to bash any artist but I’m carrying a bat. You feel me?
My question is, what does one have to do to get multiple million dollar record deals and can’t sing a lick? What?! You can’t just be pretty. It’s certainly a foot in the door but we need to run some logistics here.
Men want things from pretty women. Hell, ugly ones too. And I’ll go on to say that if their pockets are deep enough and you want what you want bad enough, I feel almost pretty certain there’s an exchange. I mean, what else do you have to win the audition? You darn sure ain’t sent in an audio dub.
We have to be honest about these things, people. This is not me airing out stank but business is dirty business in these Hollywood streets. Umkay?
Look!
I was sitting on my sectional, marinating on JLo fans and how they might be feeling with her music stacked on the CD rack among genuine vocalists who’ve practiced their craft and developed a style to put them on the world stage. Corrine Bailey, Adele, Celine Dion…Hell, Missy Elliot’s being listened to in space and here we are stuck down here with JLo!
Imagine being told That wasn’t really Michael Jackson moonwalking all over that stage. It was Jussie Smollet.
Haha. I never understood how she got put on as a singer, either. And one would think, people could get better over time with coaching and vocal training, but she just doesn’t have the IT necessary to be a true vocalist.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Lol!

She’s a hot mess. I don’t know if you can sing, and if not, you or I could have had that same opportunity.

Thankfully, I can sing. But anyone with $$$ can maneuver through the game and get a deal. Lol. And that’s the sad part.

Well, God knows I can’t. It boils down to her being a booty shaker. Could’ve done that in any rap video. 🙄

lol!!!! Tell us what you really think. My son is a musician and he is constantly talking about this phenomenon in music where people are famous for being famous not necessarily because they’re talented.

This squeezes out real talent. And I’m gonna keep beating my fist on the table about it too. Everything’s become so plastic.

Yes, I like it. He’s got his own stylistic approach. I think highly of someone who can read and play notes. It’s a whole language. Tell him to keep pursuing his music, regardless of everything.
