The internet seems to be pretty shocked when it was confirmed that Beyonce lip synched the National Anthem at Barack’s inaugural, the other day. My question is, why are people surprised? She’s going to lip synch the Superbowl performance too. That’s one of the things that frustrates me about today’s music industry. Most of it is fake and manufactured. Like I said about “image” in music, it’s the “image” that makes people rich & famous, not their actual musical talent. Most pop stars today can’t sing in real life. In the studio, it’s either they hire a ghost singer or it’s all auto-tuned recording. This is not just for pop stars. Pretty much all genres of music fake their talents, and that includes rock & metal.

It is nice to see that people are finally starting to get the hint about today’s industry, though. It’s one big fake world.

There are so many local bands and unsigned talent who are so desperate for fame & fortune, my question is, why? I don’t support national music too much anymore. Once in a blue moon, I’ll buy an album under a major label, but that only happens like several times a year. Not too much. I don’t like the way today’s industry is going.
