Okay America, or the population
who enjoy my blog……please, we cannot let the Maroon Five song ‘One More Night’
be number one again. If it is I will pull my hair out and move to Canada! I
mean what is so appealing? I can sing to you ‘Oo’s’ over and over again to you all if that will make you
happy. I truly don’t understand it. Again, I am not trying to bash Maroon Five.
Like I said in my previous post I like them, I just don’t understand how that
song continues to do so well. I promise, this will be the last time I rant
about this song. I just hope people understand that anyone can go into a studio
and produce the song the Maroon Five currently has at number one!
This
post, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to this song almost wherever I go. I
swear this song is played at least once while I’m in the car. It’s being over
played and has risen to the top 5 in no time. The song I’m referring to is ‘Diamonds’
by Rihanna. Personally, I believe
Rihanna is a very talented artist. She has a stunning voice, and always seems
to throw out top hits. However her writers, for me, are taking effectiveness
away from her voice. When I hear one of her songs, I seem to get trapped in the
obnoxious similarity in each song she produces.
After listening to it a few
times, I had to see how many times Rihanna would repeat herself, The first time
I heard it I asked myself “how many times will I hear shine bright like a
diamond?” When I finished listening, I had counted twenty two times that the
phrase ‘shine bright like a diamond’ was sung throughout the song. Twenty-two!!
Can her writers not produce a song that has more then thirty words in it? Do
they really need to repeat a phrase twenty times? Rihanna is talented! Why
waste that on lyrics that a four year old could write. The song is 4:47 long
and in that time, there is another phrase ‘beautiful like diamonds in the sky’
is sung sixteen times. My last fact, I promise, is that from 2:48 to 4:47 those
two phrases that I have discussed, are the only two that entire 2 minutes.
I understand what has happened to music, and why we are
hearing songs that have repeated lyrics that are heard for 50% of the song.
Where has all the good music
gone?
