And check some of the answers given:
"Ego-Beyonce
Knock You Down-Keri Hilson
Walkin On The Moon-The Dream"
"check out this site for new R&B/Hip Hop...best site so far...my buddy runs it..."
Now.... you could imagine how pissed I would be if I was the one looking for a certain sound that wasn't what you see above and received the type of answers I've posted so far...
If this continues, then I doubt this uptempo trend will last as long as I thought and hoped for and we will be back to where we were in mid 2000's before we know it, or rock will resurge and take over the charts..etc. You cannot support unclassifiable music as a whole, and an unsupported trend with no definition will not live long. Dance will definitely have to get into the mainstream and become proven QUICK before the chance to do so is missed due to a resurgence of rock or some other highly known type of music sound taking over. "Uptempo R&B" or whatever other dumb names are out there for a large percentage of this new dance sound with r&b vocals will not dominate, take over, and become the next big thing, and there will be no CHR Uptempo R&B" formats or MTV Uptempo R&B's! to replace MTV Raps and MTV Rocks. There will be no awards at VMA's for "Best uptempo r&b artist" and even if so, that will NOT help dance in any way, any more than just passing it off as some other genre, for obvious reasons.. (Did people have this much trouble classifying and finding the Robin S, 2 Live crew, Trinere, Marky Mark, and CeCe Penniston sounds back in the day?)
At least the person didn't call it "Hip House
" or "House & B" ... or RAP... but then again, this was posted LAST year. I didn't see "House & B" or "Bubble Gum Music" until THIS year. That means the names are getting WORSE.
As you could guess, I'm extremely pissed about the answers given to his question because they're useless, and that person will not find what they are looking for- and as a result, another possible supporter of whatever sound that is will be lost when they give up trying to find it. It's too late for me to give an answer to his question because he already voted "Do you like Keysha Cole?" as the best answer, which, to me was WORSE than "Drake" and "Asher Roth" or "TREY SONGZ"!.
Wow... what has various forms and sound styles of dance music labeling come to these days?
"Best I've ever had - Drake"
"asher roth - college" ...REALLY ???
Now, first of all, that's not even UPTEMPO!
Am I seeing correctly or do I need to go to Wal-Mart and purchase a pair of glasses?
No one even thought to put Jay Sean, Akon, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Lady Gaga ...etc.
Either dance will have to start making it bigger into the mainstream much quicker OR mainstream artists who are trying to do modern dance, freestyle...etc. better make their sounds more obvious and classifiable and bridge the gap between pop, unclassifiable, and dance, or else my next prediction will be "Rock and Alternative is making a come back..".
If this is the type of crap and confusion that is going to start happening, then we might as well just play it safe and let techno be the official word for everything fast paced. At least then people who like all or any areas of the sound can ALL support the sound and give the credit specifically where it's due. If this was the case, then I'm sure that he would've gotten more accurate answers and more dance sounds would be more well established as "techno". Dance... Pop... Uptempo R&B.... Half saying it is or is not freestyle... HOUSE & B!!... bubble gum... is just not going to cut it. As long as this happens, which may not be for too long if it continues, the chances of dance falling apart remain high in the U.S, and unlike Euro dance and other well known established passed sounds, this current dance sound will be forgotten and remain nameless like the decade of 2000 - 2009.
