Mark... if this is your first exposure to Micheal Bublé, and you have heard the name for years, you aren't really listening to much, are you?! Whether you like him or not, staying on top of who is new, who is hot, who is not, is part of being a musician and entertainer. This guy has been big for six to eight years, and you are only just listening?
Sinatra is dead. Get over it. If everyone is benchmarked against the greatest that ever lived, and discarded if not the equal, well, all there is is Sinatra, maybe Bennett, and Ella. I'm not sure I want to go through life listening ONLY to them!
So far, it seems you are far more interested in letting us know what you DON'T like (or have a high regard for). How about finding something contemporary to let us know what you DO like (so we can all tear it apart!)? Mind you, that would mean actually LISTENING to modern music, which you appear not to do much of, if this is the first time you have given Bublé a try!
Diki....I’m convinced by now that you can’t sleep at night unless you find someone or something to tear apart. Do you study the art of “scrutinizing posts” until you can find something wrong to write about....or does it come naturally to you?
Now, to respond to what you said....I never bothered to listen to Michael Buble because I never heard reports that he was “hot!” Popular, yes....but no big headliner like Lady GaGa, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Bieber, Kanye, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Pitbull, and of course, our very own....Gary!
Further....are my in tune with what’s on the scene these days? I’ve only been a professional disc jockey (and a Karaoke artist) since 1995. I think that qualifies me....don’t YOU think?
And, further, if you think it’s easy balancing your practice hours between the live music and what you need to know to DJ properly, try it sometime. They’re two completely different animals. I can guarantee you'll no longer have the time to run posts like this through the grinder any more!
Frank Sinatra.......I never really went out of my way to listen to him. But the more I hear today's artists, the more I realize that man was top of the line talent. His interpretation alone is unmatched by anyone today!
What do I like nowadays? .....mostly none of it. I tolerate today's music is what I do. When I have to play it, I think about something else while the song is spinning....pizza, my vacation, getting my oil changed, what's on Turner Classic Movies tonight.
But mostly I think about how can I write the perfect SynthZone post! One that Diki can go over with a magnifying glass and not find something to b___ about!
