So what does makes music mainstream? In my head Mainstream is the music that gets the most radio play, gets the most videos played on MTV/Muchmusic (yeah if they played videos anymore), and with the most record sales. I have always wondered why does the musicians the most talent and the most passion for their music does not always get the major labels trying to sign them on. But the musicians who making it mainstream are not the most talented but they some most beautiful people on the planet. It kinda saddens me that the music industry always look for beauty over talent. Alberta Hunter a wonderful jazz singer from the golden age of jazz; she not a looker but when she sings her beauty shows. With her witty personality I couldn't help but listen. At 83 when she did this come back concert(video below). She blew me away!! I wish I had been existent when all the great music being created.
