POPFITES! 13, 14, 15 and 16!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Because I was too busy to do a POPFITE yesterday you get FOUR clashes today, to finish off the first round. In previous fites JARVIS won a convincing victory over CHRIS LOWE, and MICK JAGGER won out against HANK WILLIAMS.

As for today's fights, words cannot do them justice (i.e. I am starving and need to upload this and go get a sammich).


[Poll #780065]


TICK POWER!

what kind of music is alicia keys? I would call her r&b yet the ideology which surrounds the music she makes centres on her fluency at the piano, it's like that of norah jones. what kind of music is norah jones? no-one would call her indie, she's surely not pop. but michelle branch was pop, right? so how is one girl-who-plays-piano different from another girl-who-plays-piano? what are the aesthetic criteria at work here?

alicia keys = soul I guess?
norah jones = jazz
michelle branch = pop because she was overtly making music for teenage girl audience whereas both keys and jones flaunt 'maturity'

Wait, so did Michelle Branch. She was touted as a singer-songwriter. Also, she was making a play not only for the teen girls but for the adult contemporary charts.

And also, what makes you think that teen girls don't ever buy into "maturity"?
