You love to listen to your favorite artists at home on your stereo, on your car radio, on your ipod on a plane. Maybe you really love the music so you go ahead and buy a convert ticket. But does the artist always live up to your expectations? Some artists sound great on their album with all the technical touchups that are done, and yet in concert their voices fail to make any decent sound. Others, sound even better live than you expected them to, a pleasant surprise. Some may not sound great in concert, but their performances are filled with lights and dancing and jokes more than make up for it. With all of these possible variables is it worth the price of a ticket? Well, I'd say yes; at least no matter what you get to leave with a fun experience and maybe a t-shirt!
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI haven’t been to many concerts. However, I have seen a few singers on live television and have often found that their voices are not at all impressive live. There are a dwindling number of artists who do actually have vocal talents, but I feel like recently many of the newest songs feature technical achievements more than vocal ones. It makes me wonder what the artists is really doing. They aren’t singing, and I doubt they all write their own songs, so what exactly are they famous for? It bothers me a bit that they make so much money when they do so little. Having said that, many artists, despite their mediocre vocal abilities, do have a knack at preforming. Modern artists tend to be interesting, attractive, exciting, and able to somehow draw everyones attention. I suppose that is how they draw in the crowds. Regardless, I am not convinced that the cost of a concert is always worth it. I suppose before buying tickets it might be best to listen to a live recording, and count the piggy bank; the concert might not appear so worth it after that’s been done.
