and many many people find it hard to sing full out while sing-rapping. the only people to really succeed at doing it (imo) are yonce and usher. everybody else yields to the beat and saves the wailing for the ballads.
also hip-hop is a factor here. pop had to adapt to hip-hop, which meant pop music co-opted techniques from rap and hip-hop to stay relevant. for instance, you have someone like kesha who can sing but she debuted in 2010 so she came onto the scene rapping
discovering the spice girls broke up not over money and fame but lesbianism
2nd night in my life a dj at a gay club has played bottoms up and skipped nicki’s verse. we aren’t losing recipes, we’re burning them.
i don't think younger people don't like real singing though, especially bc most of the 2020s newcomers are better vocalists than the 2010s pop stars. i think we've seen a continued interest in the individual and lyricism and "real singing" makes it harder to focus on the lyrics
This may be controversial but my friend said many younger people don’t like “real” singing because they aren’t attracted to things they can’t do themselves. Talk singing is popular because whether they can do it or not, they think they can do it and that’s appealing to them.
i’m sorry we all lived through the same 2010s and watched y’all buy those rihanna singles but you want us to pretend millennials only listen to singers?
