The girl has a wonderful talent and i have purchased her warblings. In much the same way as I have all of Winehouse's and Oasis' recordings. They are fantastic talents with music way better ( IMO ) than anything in decades even though I would not piss on them if they were on fire as individuals.

Every era of music is essentially as good as any other, if you explore the rich tapestry of popular music to its full extent. IMO. :P

otherwise your musical taste becomes the equivalent of your mum and dads.

Pop had best improve dramatically in the next couple of years, then.

if we call pop what's selling well and charting then it's a load of wank, better than it was five years ago, but still a load of wank.
the less popular stuff is worth searching out

It kinda ended with the cancellation of Top of the Pops for me.
I have no idea what's in the charts any more but every year I find at least three dozen new bands/acts - some brand new, some that passed me by, some that were around years before I was born - that remind me why I love music.

it's just not the modern music that seems to be mainstream now.

and the rise of mainly illegal music downloads pretty much ended any strict definition of 'mainstream' though didn't it?
There are no more Sinittas, no more Rick Astleys, no more Sonyas...

when record company marketing strategies made every single enter the charts at peak position and then start dropping. I'm finding the chart much more interesting since downloads were included. Look, a high climber!

we get one that is outstanding. I class Winehouse as one of these, it's a shame that in order to produce her work she has to live the pain and it will kill her before we hear the best of her. But then if they save her can she still produce such music?
( and I know many people want to hate her for her activities but sometimes I think it is best to put on an album and forget who the person is.)
Most of the musical icons of decades gone by were totally fucked up and if people behaved towards singers as they do today when they are off the rails then we'd never have given the likes of Billie Holiday and Ray Charles a chance.

I also like The Winehouse's music, and couldn't care less about her personal habits. Maybe 40 years ago there was much more of a mystique about performers, but now we live in an age of short attention-span celebrity news, and people have become accustomed to knowing far too much about someone and judging them on everything except what they're trying to achieve artistically.
That said, I always said Pete Doherty was a whiny talentless cunt, and no amount of news coverage is going to change my opinion of his musical output.

it's a fact that some artists, of all descriptions, suffer for their art.
It's the tabloid culture to put artists in the same bracket as footballers wives or minor royals... as you say, christ knows what todays media would have made of Picasso or Van Gogh or Mozart.

It's a fact I've had to acknowledge recently that the new music I'm most excited about now is by Portishead, Nine Inch Nails, Senser... all bands I listened to when I was 18. I don't mean the shit that's in the charts when you're in your late teens/early 20's, I mean the stuff you actually love.

but I danced in Wigan all through the 80's
(, Thu 8 May 2008, 23:47, archived)
from the age of 14 and it was the first time I saw a black man. I just went to dance. My mates older brother took us and I used to shit myself every week that after a long drive we'd not be allowed in ( me and my mate ) and have to sit in the car for 10 hours or more. Never happened though.
I did a lot young, went to Brighton and Scarborough on scooter runs when I was 15. I remember it as a scene that looked after and accepted us youngsters ( and there were hundreds ). I doubt it would be the same today if similar came around.
