Watching synchronized dancing is the last thing any music fan cares about. When I see someone dancing with a headset mic on, I think of Beavis and Butt Head taking orders at the Burger World drive-thru. Having a bunch of others, usually gay men, dance with them really doesn't help the already weak, computer-made, drum-machine-laden, written-by-someone-else "music."

People that like it now will like it then.
Old School Rap, techno, etc, etc, is still very popular in clubs and with people our age.
You're just not one of the people that like it.

If you want to see a clinic on voice control, watch Whitney Houston's video "I Will Always Love You." Major show-off stuff, if you understand singing.
And quite frankly, I don't ever expect to hear a rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner like the one she did at Super Bowl XXV. Click below. If your cheeks are not wet at the end, then either something is wrong with your ears, or something is wrong with your patiotism.
YouTube - Whitney Houston sings the National Anthem -- Star Spangled Banner |
I already posted this exact video in praise of Whitney Houston, as well as one of her Grammy performances.
IMO she is tied for the greatest voice of my life time, with Mariah Carey.
