Entertainment Performances

So, last Sunday during the Super Bowl Half-time the Black Eyed-Peas performed with Slash and Usher. I enjoy the Black Eyed-Peas' music, but that was a crappy performance. Slash and Usher should have done the show without them. The other people that did a good job were the dancers around the stage with the lights glowing on them. When they were synchronized, it looked beautiful.

At times I wonder if there is real talent anymore. The people with the least talent are pushed up front while the ones with the talent are just looked upon. I also think it is a shame that people sell there souls just to be on top. People get pimped out or they pimp themselves out for fame. Is that what society is all about now? Have we pushed our morals to the back so that we can look good on the outside?

A lot of great talent have died and can never be replaced. Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Florence(from the Supremes), Gerald Levart, Jackie Wilson, Rick James and James Brown are all gone. I know there is a great concert in heaven going on right, now! James Brown changed the course of music by creating and composing musical arranges to 1/3 which is 1 bar per 3 beats.

I'm so hoping that the Grammy awards aren't going to be boring this Sunday. I know they are going to have a big tribute to Aretha Franklin as the opener. Its a must see because Jennifer Hudson will be performing in it.

If you were to put you ultimate concert togther, who would be in it dead and/or alive?

  1. Sad to say its very True..Music has not been the Same for a long time now...the talentless get pushed to the forefront but the talented people are discarded....society as a whole is to blame cuz the majority of us feed into that crap...and we don't even know what real talent is anymore...everyone's excuse is well at least they getting paid.
