How many music artists are there in the world?

March 29th, 2010 admin 2 comments

im writing a essay for school and as my eye-catcher in the opening paragraph i wanted to say how many music artists there were in the world on in the united states. i have been looking for this on the internet for a while and cant find anything. does anyone know? it doesn’t have to be exact, like if you said over a million or about 500 thousand… anything would be a big help

Well that’s hard to say because not everybody can SING or RAP, and all the REAL musicians have passed away.

Why do poets and music artists use literary devices instead of just saying the story "straight"?

March 25th, 2010 admin 4 comments

Why do poets/music artists use literary devices (similes, metaphors, hyperbole, kennings) instead of just saying the story "straight"?

Because the purpose of art is not to tell a story but to show it.

Where can I get a list of all songs from music artists for the last 20 years?

March 23rd, 2010 admin 1 comment

Basically I’m going to do a research project where I use randomized selection to pick songs from music artists (as opposed to other types of songs) over the last 20 years. I am curious if any place would have a list of all the names of songs for the last 20 years?

Why cant successful music artists represent countries in the Eurovision?

March 21st, 2010 admin 5 comments

Say, Lily Allen or some other British music artist. Why can’t they represent us? I mean Abba did and we won. Is there some rule about how famous the singer can get?

Because they’d automatically win, it would be too easy and a bit one sided. It’s like getting professional footballers to play against a team off people who only just discovered football yesterday

How do music artists remember all the songs for concerts?

March 19th, 2010 admin 4 comments

I was just wondering how can or do music artist remember all of the lyrics to the songs they sing at concerts that lasts for hours. (I’ve never been to a concert so I don’t have a picture).

I have been to enough concerts to know that the bands can just remember everything with tons of practice. They have have to be able to perform the songs repeated flawlessly.

Which artists use music in their work?

March 17th, 2010 admin 4 comments

As in ‘painting artists’ those with pencils, etc – NOT music artists, etc.

It can be either incorporating musical instruments into their work, or music notes, or the treble clef, or even being inspired by music.

Could you tell me the artists name, and if possible, an example piece they have done including music?

Thank you!

Anyone knows why the synthesizer is often being used by music artists this year?

March 13th, 2010 admin 2 comments

Artists like Metro Station-Shake It / Lady Gaga-Just Dance / The Veronicas-Almost all their songs / Dizzee Rascal-Dance wiv, me are all using the synthesizer (the keyboard-like instrument) on their music this year. Is this a comeback trend for this music instrument? Any thoughts anyone?

It’s probably a matter of economics. A single proficient keyboardist can duplicate the sounds of multiple instruments and/or musicians, etc. You can save a lot of money that way.

What are the names of some good techno and industrial music artists and DJ’s?

March 10th, 2010 admin 3 comments

I listen to a college radio station here in Cleveland, OH called Ravers Edge but I always seem to miss the names of the artists they play after hearing a good beat. I am not into the songs with lyrics, I just like the songs where the beat is cool and makes me want to dance. Can someone help me out and give me the names of some good techno and/or industrial music artists? Please no lyrics…just beats. Not the cheesy typical club stuff either. Thanks!

ATB is another good artist. He has some good instrumentals but yes there are a few of his songs with lyrics. Preview some of his stuff on last.fm
