I like in particular the reasoning for picking the song “I Don’t Dance” because I don’t think I would have thought about it that way and it is interesting.

It was because of how badly she performed the song rather than the political climate at the time.

Both performs had their own controversy. Hendrix’s performance was considered controversial due to the time in history when he performed it. He had also performed it in a different style.

A lot of things can make music sacred. For one the message behind the music. Music based around religion is sacred because its message is connected to the higher power that said religion believes in (for […]

Usually, when people refer to auto tune, they are knocking down the people who use it, and its refreshing to see someone not do that.
