Hey! Let's Talk About Pink and Britney.

First of all, kiss my arse. I'm just discussing music and something that interests me (in a depressing way).

Okay, in the last couple of weeks I've been channel surfing, and I've run across Pink's "The Truth About Love" tour and Britney's "Femme Fatale" tour. Let's call them sociological-musical field observations. Whatever. But I've watched a few minutes of both out of curiosity (morbid or otherwise).

I'm pretty familiar with recording vs. live tour realities and have actually done a small amount of music/business law work in L.A. and N.O. But holy shite I'm amazed at what people will pay money for "in concert".

Pink actually has a strong voice. She writes, has a real live band and, as for as I can tell, most of her vocals are actually live and not lip synced. Her stuff is really not my style, but I do appreciate the fact that she has talent and puts on a good live show.

But I watched about 20 minutes into the Kentwood road whore's concert, and I didn't see or hear a single live musician or even 20 seconds of vocals that weren't synced or, at the very least, auto-tuned/electronically enhanced or completely pre-recorded.

Why did I take the time to make this thread? Beats the shite out of me except for the fact that I think Pink has some admirable talent and Britney's biggest contribution can be found onstage at Rick's Cabaret.

I also would support legislation that require all ads for concerts to state how much was pre-recorded.

I know. tl;dr

I don't care. I feel better now.
