Music Industry

Music has been around since the beginning of time. Music is meant to comfort people who really doesn't have much. Music is so powerful that it was developed into an industry that is huge in the entertainment culture today. The music industry has played a big part in people's lives. They are the ones who sign artist/ musicians, who are usually really talented. The music industry is what singers, song writers, musicians, and more are trying to become apart of.
The music industry used to based on the talent people had and their ability to play and sing. Artist such as Meat Loaf was an artist that wasn't physically appealing, but he had an undeniable talent that nobody can over look.
In today's media it's all about the visual and what we are seeing as viewers. Views look more than they listen. Such as performances in the past have been done live, but for a while now main stream artist now are getting used to lip singing. Lip singing is prerecorded tracks that are played while an artist is performing and mouthing the song without sound. Many singers in today's industry are being auto tuned constantly in the studio so their voices can be sharper. An example of an artist who is very famous for her good looks and a great dancer is Briteny Spears.
The music industry is always trying to change an artist and their appearance in order to fit in with modern day pop culture. A good documentary that goes deeper into the music industry and it's focus on pop culture, that the music should really sound like is "Before the music dies".
