Do you ever wonder?


Do you ever wonder why some artists (individuals or groups) attain success through critical acclaim and/or record (cd) sales?

Here is my list of those who have made it in the recording/entertainment industries and is completely puzzling to me.

Please list your own; it's irrelevant what you think of mine.

OK, here you go (in no particular order):

Sheryl Crow
Norah Jones
Michael Bolton
Celine Dion
Joe Cocker
Manhattan Transfer
Boston
Rickie Lee Jones
Pink
Phil Collins

That's enough to get started; show me what you got.

To each is there own I guess but hasn't this been going on for decades? Subpar musicians sell millions of records based on looks, the time their hit single broke out, the push they get from their record companies etc etc.

Well this weekend I got stuck in the car listening to Pop radio stations. Nothing like hearing the same songs over and over and over on pretty much every radio station my car antenna could pick up.

The "artists" I'd like to add to this thread are:

Ke$ha
Britney Spears
Justin Beiber
Jason Derulo
Ne-Yo
Any of the boy bands from the late 90s.

Pretty much if the artist needs a lot production tricks or Autotune to make their voice sound palatable their name should be on this list.
