Jon, I think it's clever - but clever editing not musically. As for you being in the minority - that's a good thing IMO. Means you're an individual and not just following everyone else off the cliff...

Now this guy is a pure musician. He feels it and makes it look deceptively easy...

Yes Ron, you would be right. C'mon on, the first 2 are almost the same, clones! Where's the originality? Look, I get it that this stuff get's people moving on a dance floor - but after 2 hours of the same beat, the same computerised modulations - I can't LISTEN to it, you know enjoy it at a deeper level. There are no poetic lyrics to move me; no resonating tones; no pure vocals from a talented singer; and no unspoken sychronisation of a bunch of talented musos doing it live, first time, everytime - even when improvised or jamming.
I consider myself pretty broad in musical taste - everything from classical, blues, jazz, R&B, punk, rock (a very broad genre these days), soul, Hip Hop, etc. - I'll be open minded to. And let's not kid ourselves, all studio recorded music is computer enhanced these days. BUT, totally computerised, synthesised (including vocals) stuff - just doesn't have any 'feel' and is way too predictable, IMO.
