Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
For me there is one that has always been top of the list.
Edith Piaf…..l just can’t think of anything worse.
Do not get me wrong and consider my choice is in any way racist….l love to listen to music with songs in any language… Italian, French, Spanish…..
Russian and German can however be extremely demanding, but Edith Piaf (if possible in any language) is a potential harrowing experience.
Do any others on here have a similar artist, or artists that can trigger the same physical reaction?
Don’t like Celine? Don’t you like the “Titanic Song” My Heart Will Go On? AAhhhhh…. l can perhaps maybe see why? She could…. Gowwww Owwnnnn a bit.
After 25 years it can now sound a bit over the side…l mean top. There is one mitigating life saving fact, only she could nail that high note “diva” ending, now a Titanic sound bite from the period. |
I perceive Edith Piaf's voicing/delivery in the context of when it was popular. Her popularity soared in the war years, this is a voice of patriotism, resolve.
Joan Baez sometimes does the vibrato thing to excess, nothing near these 'divas' so popular today, way over the top vocal gymnastics bugs me to no end. Sing it straight like the pop singers of the past, don't need all this additional show horsing. |
@mahgister here in the states, industrial music and pop music are 2 different things. i love industrial music. i detest pop music. |
I dont understand by lack of knowledge what it means... i dislike pop as industrial or almost all music known by most ,but not all for sure... i never listen anything recorded by popular singer in any genre...I did not even know their names... There is exception (Bob Dylan for his poetry and Leonard Cohen) (Joan Baez and few others dating back my younger years as Léo Ferré singing the french poets)
Words matter as much to me than music... i prefer classical, Indian/ Persian and jazz music...
