There are 6 media companies that control 90% of what we see and hear. If you are a chosen one in music, you will be endlessly promoted over others that have talent but do not have the look that the media company is looking for.
In short if you can lip sync and dance around on stage and are some what good looking you do not need to know how to play instruments well or sing well as auto tune will smooth things out for you live on stage.
Sometimes the “artist” gets caught. Think about the Gene Kelly movie ‘Singin in the Rain’ where Debbie Reynolds was doing all the singing of Lina Lamont whose voice could break glass. They were at a theater and Lina was lip syncing and Gene Kelly and Donald O’Conner and another raised a curtain to reveal the real talent.
Sometimes auto tune fails or the singer insists on singing with their voice and the audience goes ‘huh?’ that is awful.
Todays ‘talent’ rarely has the talent that lasts. They are just promoted till another comes along.
Taylor is 34 now and will fade.
