What has happened???

What has happened with today's music? It has changed so much! There used to be such classic voices, that everybody loves. I would much rather hear Debbie Reynolds over Carrie Underwood, or Judy Garland over Mary.Mary. No I don't listen to them, I don't even now anything about them, but I have heard a song they sing, and Judy Garlands voice is a whole lot better! : ) No offence to anyone who listens to them! : P And I am not saying that all music today is like that, I very much enjoy Steven Curtis Chapman, Selah, and a lot of Christian Music. But I like the Classic all American genuine Singers! What do you think???

I really like Carrie Underwood... I guess I'm the outcast here... but her voice her so clear and crisp.
If you look for them, singers today have allot of talent. It was just portrayed in a better way when Judy Garland and Debbie Reynolds were around.
Plus, I think the actual lyrics in the songs have changed, and allot of people prefer the lyrics from back then, verses today.
I've heard many, many people say that singers today have corrupted music. But in my opinion, they just have different style. There are many singers today that could definitely rock the style of older singers, but they sing different kinds of music because that's what people write for them.
My cousin, Janice Mays, has an incredible voice. She sings for Sovereign Grace Ministries and could beautifully portray a song sung by Judy Garland or someone like that...
that could be because she grew up in a huge family that was all about that era but...
She has three christian songs out (Who is like you. Mighty, Mighty Savior, and Surrender All) that have a modern flare, but still sound amazing. And she has a lead role in an off-Broadway play.
(brag much? lol)

I'm sorry for the long comment, haha I guess my typing got away from me!
Just so you know, I am not in any way trying to put Debbie Reynolds or Judy Garland or anyone from that era down in any way. They had voices that could totally trump allot of singers out there (like Katy Perry for instance)
But I think that there are allot of singers that really can belt it out.
Please don't hate me!! I really do like reading your blogs :)
