singerteen @singerteen (35) • New Zealand 18 Jul 09

Private, or personal inspirations, even socially personal ones, or a theme with a twist, or any other inspiration or topic that you may be unsure of for that matter, I think may be used if (for you genre) it makes for a great...

singerteen Yes, if it makes for good entertainment, e.g. something quirky, or rediculous, or whatever, it can make for a great idea etc.

what's the number 1 key to creating great music?

singerteen @singerteen (35) • New Zealand 18 Jul 09

1. Style. In my opinion style is the essence of what all other elements of music are trying to achieve. What do you think is the number 1 key?

singerteen Yes, reaching the desired quality takes experience. For myself, I like to aim for the best qualities in each song too.

singerteen You can start a song with so many different musical or lyrical parts or ideas, but it all has to work to make a quality song, a song with x-factor attributes, such as are stated above.

singerteen If you want to play rock, use the blues, minor pentatonic, or blues minor scales. Hotel california has a great solo. To build dexterity, loosen up your fingers, and get used to fingering the fingerboard, you can use what's called the spider exercise by keeping...

singerteen I like western music that's edgy and potent (showing power and influence) I also like songs that are clever, fresh, stylish, and that have technical skill. Genre's I like are hip hop, r&b, and pop. I'm not that much into music with shouting. (rock/metal) It's...

singerteen When you get that famous it's hard not to go a bit nuts, e.g. Britney Spears. The media and public opinion can blow things all out of proprotion and whip up public appathy. If he wasn't famous it would be harder to doubt his innocence. He was eccentric. Acting...

Is death a road from a celebrity to a Legend?

bigott @bigott (618) • India 27 Jun 09

Whether its the member of Club 27 (Cobain,Joplin,Hendrix,Morrison),Presely,Mercury or the latest Michael Jackson..death is necessary for a celebrity to become a legend.

3 responses

singerteen You have to be legendary during your life time before you can be a legend after your death. This was shown by a local musician (Darcy Clay) who commited suicide soon after kirk cobains death because he thought he could become a legend that way, and never...

What will you miss about Michael Jackson?

stevelvis @stevelvis (394) • Philippines 3 Jul 09

Michael Jackson is a total performer in his unique style. Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson are the only top solo artist for me. I wished he had stayed longer. What do you like about MJ and what will you miss from him?

3 responses

singerteen Killer dancing with a stick figure body, extremely good songwriting skills, killer style. I think anyone who gets that famous can go a bit nuts because of the life style, e.g. Britney Spears.

singerteen When I was first introduced to music when I was younger, the only music I thought much of, or that moved me was trippy music, and sad music. I could relate to the misery, pain, and withdrawl...Radiohead were one of the bands I could relate to.
