just noticed people knocking her on another hread and i just wanted todefend her here via talkin about movies
Basically i just wanted to say that in my opinion shes not a bad singer (as pop music goes) but i totally agree that she cant act to save her life!...well least not anymore cause she used to be ok but its like the eminem thing in my eyes....ego goes to your head and boom....all downhill from there.....
what do you think? what about others?....Madonna for example?
No doubt I'm one these people you say have been "knocking her." If I can explain why, I'd 1st like to point out that I judge "singers" and "musicans" differently. Musicians create music, whether they're any good at it or not is besides the point; there's an artistic process in what they do. Singers, on the other hand, sing... period. There is some art in what they do - IMO singers interpret song in the same way an actor intreprets a script, but that's about it. They sing, we listen, end of story. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say that Bob Dylan or Neil Young are bad singers (even though they are!).... they're simply known as being great musicians. They are judged by the sum total of their work,
To bring this back to J- Lo, Brittany Spears, and Madonna, I'm very critical of their singing because frankly they're very average at it.... and to make matters worse that's ALL they do. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear people defending these women.... they always seem to bring up irrelevant things like dance moves, wardrobe, etc.... like they're say anything but actually critique the way these women sing. Listen to them VERY carefully (and this may be difficult as they, and in particular J-Lo, are known for having an extraordinary amount of "post-production" studio work done on their vocals) and you'll see there's nothing special about their voices. There are some singers, like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston whom I dislike because they're way too OTT for my tastes, and I like to accuse them of over-singing.... but at least they
can sing. The women in your list are relatively untalented compared to one I just listed. You DID say they weren't bad as far as pop music goes.... well that's who I'm comapring them to.
