What does the Arab world think about Western pop music? Although many people in the Arab world, which includes the Middle East, tend to be anti-Western when it comes to American foreign policy and other related factors, I'm wondering how Arabs feel/think about one of the biggest things in entertainment- popular music. The big topic I'm talking here is how do Muslims feel about Western pop music, including American Top 40 hits. Here are the questions that I'm going to give you: What does the Arab world think about Western pop music? Do they play American hit songs on Arab radio stations? Do they air American/European music videos on Arab TV networks?
Why do people not listen to pop music and broadway anymore? Thanks to rap dominating the current culture every white american kid from an educated respecatble background wants to act ghetto and listen to horrible ghetto music. On top of that traditional pop such as Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra and Broadway music which was once the dominate form of popular music and was what everyone listened to is now obscure to most younger generations. This is mainly due to the White americans guilt over the treatment of African-Americans in previous eras. As it is most of the current white pop music such as Lindsay Lohan and the Backstreet boys is really bad. This is because all,the money is invested in ghetto trash music. If more money was invested in pop music it would be as high quality and as popular as it once was, there would be good pop music currently. What does everyone else think? btw for All you PC bastards who don't like what I'm saying about that rap trash shove your comments up your butt!
Is it legal to make an online pop music radio station for free - if you need a pass to listen? People would email to recieve the password and it would come automatically. That password would then be entered to direct them to the listen page. By the first answer, I see that I have confused you. I have set up an Internet radio station but obviously you have to pay for licenses. If i password protect the listen page, and email the pass to people on request - is it legal? I mean legal but still free.
What would the slow kind of pop music be called? Like Elton John kind of music? I know it isn't classical so it's pop but what's it called? Or, answer this: What kind of music would be played in a book store? Please provide the artist and/or a song example. Thanks so much!

How do you feel about pop music? I honestly think pop music is at a rough spot. I just heard Justin Timberlake's new song "Sexy BacK" and I liked it. But not because of the beat or anything. It reminded me of my humps. I loved the song because it was so aggravating that I liked it. I would catch myself humming the song. Artist like rihanna are trying to be to much like beyonce. I love rihanna's music but I heard someone put rihanna on my girl beyonce's level and i'm like wtf? Rihanna can't sing as well as beyonce but dancin wise i'd say she'd give b a run for her money. Now I like anything by the pussycat dolls(not cuz they are gorgeous because i am gay lol) especially their song "buttons". But radio stations are overplaying these great songs but underplaying songs that are equally if not more better. What is up with that?

A question about java for a pop up music player? I'm working on a web site and there is a pop up music player that has been coded in html and when the window opens the player's image is broken into two parts, one is the play/stop buttons and the other is a box with the song title. Both images are within the same pop up box side by side. Is there anyways to use java to make my own layout for the player's image and if so how do i go about it? And yes, the music plays no problem, so it's just the image I'm wondering about. TY.
How can people even listen to pop music? Hell,why do people like any pop music? Why do people even listen to pop music in the first place,it all sucks! Metal is the only thing worth listening to in this world. Come on,let me see those horns out there! \m/ RAHHHHHHHHHHH \m/

pop music...? Does anyoneif there is a Steve Strange(visage) fans site. Please & thank you
Is classical music superior to pop music? I almost lost a friend a year ago when I said that pop music listeners are less cultured than classical listeners. The guy was pretty mad. Since then, I have been listening to pop music by various artistes to atone for my ignorance, but still find that it lacks a lot of things that classical music has an abundance of, for example pop music is nowhere near as poetic as classical music, nor does it have that certain intelligence in which the musical lines move, and interact with each other. I try to remind myself that no one type is better, they're just different, but still find that classical music is superior. After all it has withstood the trials of time, whereas some pop artistes have already been forgotten. But pop artistes earn much more. What do you think?
what is pop music? first of all, don't just say that POP MUSIC = CRAP or POP MUSIC IS TALENTLESS, because that's untrue and completely pointless, and if you're going put some thought into this, please don't even answer. "pop" hardly stands for "popular" music anymore. there are TONS of indie pop and twee pop bands out there, and most of them are no where near popular by any standards. so, how do you think pop music should be defined exactly? jake, i agree that pop music is often catchy, and has a hook, but does it always mean mainstream? what about indie pop bands like belle & sebastian or stars? i mean, they're quite popular in the "indie" scene, but they're not mainstream. or, is indie pop a completely separate genre from pop?
Why is pop music so popular? I mean, honestly, pop music has ALWAYS been just fluff for your ears, a pretty voice singing about things that their demographic really has no idea about. They don't write their own music, and they definately don't play any instruments. Why is this mindless music so popular. I know the term pop is a shortened word for popular, but besides that, why is it so popular? (P.S. Almost all of the rap music produced today is pop music, people rapping about things they don't actually own, with a record label telling them what kind of image they have to have, what they have to have in their videos, who will write their music for them, and who will make their beats.) WHY?

Music lovers would you like to listen to the best pop music? Have you ever heard that......? Did you know that Iranian pop music is chosen as the best pop music in Europe?(In France) Even one of the songs named "Imagine" won the world peace nobel prize in 2005.You ask me, the best pop melody can be found in the current Iranian pop music, the fast music with non-stop boom boom from the beginning to the end doesn't let the listener take a breath!, and all songs are very well built with the best and the most poetic lyrics possible.You know that Persian literature is famous , so naturally modern pop singers don't forget benefiting from that! I think it's so unfair that Iranian pop music is unkown just because it's Iranian! So, I've started to translate really songs and I send them to quite a lot of people from all around the world.Even one of them told me, she's gonna start learning Persian just to understand the songs by herself! I remember when I first began to learn English, my goal was to understand American songs.Who knew that English would really become my course at university?! Now, I was just asking to see if anybody is interested in a really different thing, just e-mail me and get your songs with translations.Here's a sample of the songs: The figure in the photo which is in the album is soaking wet I kissed your memory again, I've asked myself this unanswerable question thousands of times so far: What makes the songs lifelike? Its pulse is the throat of yesterday (It means my throat could produce a better voice in the past, so my songs were liflike) I know that without you, my tomorrow will be the same grey color as yesterday's (grey color) I'm thirsty like the sun and more landless than the wind, more immediate than the song, outspoken like a loud cry I'm lonelier than silence, brighter than the star, I love more than ever, sing with me again I open the eyelids of the window, there are murmers of the moon light in the lane All the windows are silent, sounds like (everyone in) this deserted lane is asleep I call out your name aloud noiselessly, my crying closes the window Once again, the invisible hands of night closes the eyelids of my window

Pop music with orchestras, or some sort of complexity? I am looking for music that resembles the song "fighter" by Christina Aguilera. It is pop with a heavy twist. I also like her song "welcome" I am looking for pop with orchestras, or just interesting music behind the singing. I am so sick of these airy voices with one simple track of piano. (apple commercial music) I listen to metal, and am getting sick of the screaming, and the old fashioned opera singers. Someone recommend something. I also like the Mars Volta, any other bands like them that are good? P.S. I really dis-like happy music! I want something evil, dark, but heavy and pop singing. You should check out the song "fighter" by Christina. My favorite mars volta song is Televators. I already listen to Pink Floyd. I feel like there is nothing left. I will just have to make my own music... Also, modern bands, electronic sounds, powerful voices. I am so picky.
Asian Pop music In Chinatown? Does anyone know where I can get Asian pop music (specifically Japanese pop) music in Chinatown? Can I get japanese music in "china"town? do they even sell music there? I've never been there before...
Pop music is ridiculous.? I can't stand pop music! I mean, some of it is decent, but Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend"? She is in her mid twenties and married now so why would she choose to sing such a song. Plus, the lyrics are horrendous. It's such garbage! And don't get me started on singers (if you can even call them that) like Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hiltion. They are such bimbos. And this one is my least favorite: Hannah Montanna or whatever her name is. She can't sing or act well at all! The ONLY reason she ever got a shot at being famous is because her one hit wonder daddy pulled strings for her. Pop music (for the most part) is atrocious.
pop music is bad? Why is it considered so bad to like pop music? If you listen to a wide variety of music, is it so terrible to like some pop songs.

Answering Pop Music Questions in the Classical Forum? The "entertainment & music ► music ► classical" category seems to be becoming overrun by the pop, rock, new-age questions. Would it be best if we didn't answer the questions or had a set answer like Malcom's "This song is not classical music - please direct this question to the pop forum."? There are other genres that have no better place to post. Traditional Indian music, native folk songs, and perhaps even some modern tunes based on classical themes. I'm more than willing to entertain these posts.
Pop music/MTV sucks!? Pop music really does suck now. In the 60's, pop bands like Beatles were awesome. Now, talentless people like Fergie are infesting the minds of today's youth. I mean, seriously, listen to Fergie's 'Glamorous', all she does is brag about her cars, limos, yachts, private planes, jewelry and how rich she is. This is also why MTV now sucks. I mean, the only reason MTV2 was made is because MTV never played music anymore. Mtv now plays stupid pointless shows like Real world, laguna beach and super sweet 16. Oh my f*cking god, i thought celebrities and MTV was supposed to set good examples, but hey, not every girl could get a BMW as her first car, can she? And don't get me started on hip hop. No offense, but when i think of hip hop, i think of black people. I personally think hip hop degrades black people, as well as women. All they do is spit words about sex, sex sex, cars, bling, and more sex. And women. This corrupts kids_not videogames,or metal..MTV. Now, who agrees with me??
Question about pop music.? I don't like pop music but I was wondering what makes something pop. I know that pop means popular but what makes someone like Britney Spears or Debbie Gibson pop? Should rap (I don't like rap) be pop if it's popular?

African Pop Music Information? I'm doing research on World Pop Music and I'm wondering if anyone has any good sites to get information on African Pop music.
For music snobs: Foreign pop? Intellectually dishonest? Lots of people-by people, I mean music snobs- listen to foreign rock and pop music, sneering at today's pop scene, acting like their foreign import pop is better. Problem: yeah, it's not on the radio here, but does that really make it better? Seriously, it's on the Top Forty in Japan or France. It's not any better than the Kelly Clarkson or Ashlee Simpson you flee over here. So why do they insist on acting like it's better, even though it's really the same content and format? Does this make sense to anyone? True fact: Edith Piaf is the French cultural equivalent of Judy Garland.
j pop music? is j pop basically popular music or pop music in japan?
American Pop Music in other countries? I'm doing a paper on American pop music and I want to know in what other countries it is popular?

Pop Music in Europe? Do the people in non English speaking countries in Europe listen to English pop songs from US or Britain? Or do they listen to pop music sung by their own singers in their own native languages? Do they understand the songs sung in English?
Pop music and an artist conception.? Alright say I was a musician and I had an idea like this would it be monumental to implement it here it is: To make pop songs till I get a one hit wonder and then to make myself faker and faker till even pop music listeners stop listening to me now then to be able to artistically turn it into a direct connection with people as my new band 3 years down the road would be about hating the imagery and materialistic idealogy that you might be more important and I was devoted to changing it and I would wear anti fashion and alway drop hints that there was enlightenment on the way would this be a spritual art. I'm starting to wonder if I am so as detached from people as it has always seemed the big question however is can an artist answer the question without even knowing the answer can he lead the people to it can he show the world something he has never seen is there more power in this art then being used today?

Do you think Pop Music has become more noisy & less melodic? I certainly would say 'yes' to this question, but maybe it's just a case of generation gap, since I grew up in the 80's, when Pop Music sounded naiver than today, I think. Ok, someone can say that many artists from those times were making music just for getting rich&famous, but I really don't think it has been different in the most critically acclaimed 90's. I think actually most critics tend to adore 'weird' and/or 'difficult' bands and to detest more popular ones in a general way. A snobbish attitude indeed. It was like that in the 80's, in the 90's and at present too. So when you pick up a band like Erasure, most of them immediately turn up their nose at them. Nevetheless, they are a pop duo who owns one of the most accurate melodic sense on Earth! On the other hand, I've been considered that most bands from today rarely can create a good melody. Well, Pop has been more and more blended with another musical styles and, as a resulf of that, it has also become noisier at my pov...
Can you sing pop music or rock muisc with an opera voice? I just discovered today I can sing really well in opera or like classical music. The porblem is that i'm thirteen. I like some classical music but i'm more into pop, rock, rap, and pretty much everything except hillbilly, techno, and dance. I'm not aure how ell i do in other styles I guess I do Ok but im way better with opera. I wanna know if there's a way i can sing other styles like pop or rock or even some type of gothic music just anything else with and opera voice.

Vietnamese pop music? When I was in about sixth grade, I was lent a Vietnamese cassette of pop music. I think the artist's name was Giang Ngoc, and the title of her album was New Wave. I think it was made in the late 80s - early 90s. She did some songs in English, part of the lyrics I remember were "Shy like an angel/you had my passion from the very start". This was so long ago, but if I was to find it, I'd like that. I am not a speaker of Vietnamese nor am I a native of the country, but I had an interest in world music at an early age! I'm usually good at finding things obscure, but this one just eludes me. Thanks in advance :)
Chinese Pop Music Video, What is the name of the group and the name of the song? I saw a pop music video in China this month. It is a video with a fish that has a lure in it's mouth eating shrimp. I can't read chinese and my mandarin isn't that good. Does anyone know the name of the song and the music group that plays it? The lyrics include in english....."Hello" and the chorus is "hi dee hee hi dee hoo....hi dee hee hee". Thanks in advance.
