Wait. You are on their side right? Because I was coming to say if anyone thinks Kanye isn't talented, they are stupid as people who think edm artists just hit buttons.

Bangarang!

John McCain

He's only where he is because he was caught. I like guys who didn't get caught.

You're letting taste preclude objectivity. I despise the Beatles and Beck but.... I know they are/were good at what they do.. You need to watch a lot of available footage on some of these older stars in the studio.

Is also implore people to find old audition videos or demos of Britney, Bieber, Kesha, Miley.

Shockingly you'll find they all were amazing singers. What they do now may not reflect that God Given and professionally honed Talent that led them to stardom.

Dude, I'm 66 years old. I saw Janis , Jimi, The Who(original band), etc. live and in person. This is not about taste. BS cannot sing. Listen to his stuff. His voice is terrible and his poor attempt at showing emotion when he sings just makes it worse . All of those "pained" expressions are just put-ons.

I gathered your age based on prior posts. This is still a preference for entertainment and not a reflection on his talent as a musician.
I would have never sat through a live show of Etta James nor Adele. I think their emotions were/are contrived and fake.

I think Avril Lavigne has more passion in her self written ballads.
But... I know who's more talented.

Not a fan either but just like ole fot you don't like their style or genre. Skrillex is one of the top Dawgs in that God awful dubstep subgenre

Eh. Not many modern “artists” do. But they found a way to market and make it. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Case and point.

I saw every home LSU game last year. And 20 or so HS marching bands last weekend. I heard All of the Lights by Kanye about 20 times in last 365 dsys. Let that sink in... Kanye is still making millions for prior work.
And every time you hear that trumpet part you wanna take someone to Dat Ghetto University.

I can’t argue that presently he might not be a great singer.

But rewind to 1972 and your opinion is wrong.

Thanks brah,

I evoked your name a week ago when someone went scortched earth and said the best revenge would be to frick someone else’s entire family (the father included).

Enable Plan Mikelbr was my joke.

I knew you’d be OK with it but full disclosure for ya there.

I've seen him live twice and close.

But... The guy can sing. And has a stage presence that Celine Dion NEVER learned. And no I'm not a fan. My modern country favorite is Lee Brice. He's real. And can sing.

Obama doesnt even hold a candle to Nancy Pelosi and her bazillion dollar mansion all bought with money from being a brainless, demented public servant.
