Shawn1814 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Do you care about the vocals or lyrics or is the beat everything to you? When I listen to an album I first listen to the vocals. I then pay attention to the lyrics, and then I try to figure out all the different instruments they used in the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidfresh832 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The beat is more important in a dance song simply because you can usually get away with a weaker vocal because a dance song always has a more pronounced strong beat. And especially now theres alot of vocal manipulation in pop and dance that is popular you dont need powerhouse vocals for a fun dance song. If your voice sucks on a ballad there is not powerful beat to hide that. But dance theres alot you can do to make anyone, even britney spears, sound like they can sing a little.

I guess you're better off listening to the instrumental.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 depends on the beat and depends on who is singing it. Usually real electronic music (going a tad bit away from pop) require BIG vocals unless they are more experimental (see Daft Punk, animal collective , Goldfrapp, The Knife etc. If it's commercial then i can guarantee you that DJ's are going after a big voice. Pop mixed with whatever usually doesn't but to me it depends. I can appreciate both but i prefer the likes of Roisin Murphy for example who can mix it up well and still deliver it with some big vocals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oCSdkHJZHg not her vocal peak but still shits on everything these supposed pop kweens and princesses are able to deliver. The beat though hits HARD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Pop and dance music is not about the lyrics. It's about everything BUT that. Don't be so shallow. This is just a ridiculous ploy to shade ppl who listen to the likes of Britney, Katy, Rihanna in contrast to your neo-soul artists who you THINK make "real music". Cut the bullshit Blatin.

All the neo-soul music stans I've come across have this problem. All a bunch of music snobs who think their music interest is better than the next person's because they don't listen to mainstream music, and believe it's "real music". I'm still waiting on them to answer my question of "What's fake music?" I'm not here for these bitches trying to act like pop and mainstream dance can't be lyrically profound. Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't soul music pop in the early 70s? Wasn't R&B pop in the 90s? Have plenty seats Blatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Rihanna is an average run of the mill singer with a criminal record. Blatin likes Britney, Rihanna, Beyonce, and just about every other mainstream female.

hotboy06 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 With dance music, it's the beat. With rnb type music, it's the vocals. I usually listen to instrumentation last. For example, when I heard "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart", the whole song was magical. The vocals and the production blended perfectly. The piano and the drums>>>>>>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a couple songs by Beyonce and those are more of R&B songs (Me, Myself and I) Rihanna has a couple of good songs.. I don't listen to Britney at all.. When I say dance I'm also talking about those songs that have that Techno-ish beat.. I was never a fan of techno back in my club days.. I hated the LimeLight in Ny because that's all they played..

hotboy06 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thank you Hotboy for responding like an adult.. You're welcome. What I love about music, is that it's universal. Age has nothing to do with what you like(most of the time). If it wasn't for me going into the military, I probably wouldn't be listening to "pop" music. I was all about hip hop and Rnb.

DJ Y2K Malone™ Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 with pop dance music it's the beat first then it how the vocals flow though the beat but a lot of this pop dance music sounds like recycled techno music from the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
