Exactly what I said - Eva Cassidy could sing the phone book and I buy her albums because you pays to hear her sing.
With PoP it's about the spectacle and music videos perhaps ended the radio star. With music videos - it is theater - a short film of sorts.
This was the first thing I think I ever say with Gaga and it is a commentary on the pop music scene and the fascination with the stars and how they "stay on top" and indeed the fleeting popularity of the pop diva in general and her own future career in the business.
Pop is about a catchy song, and lots of spectacle. Madonna and Michael Jackson were perfect at this. Lady Gaga is no slouch at it.
And when we talk about singing talent there are not many in the Eva Cassidy class outside of Opera which is kind of love it or hate it.
I mean take some of the biggest artists in rock - does anyone go to see Bob Dylan because he's a great vocalist? Here is my favorite Bob Dylan spoof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H26rfN5H8J0
Gaga and spectacle
