It shows how far the music industry has fallen when non entities like her are considered good.
Sorry, but compared with yesteryear, this is not music and a Carol King she is not.
In my very humble opinion, "music" stopped being music after the 80s. Anywhere from Elizabethan ages to the 1980s was music. After that it was just white noise.[/QUOTE
Ah, the old 'music of yesteryear was better' cliche! I'm not a particular admirer of Ellie Goulding but she is very successful, writes her own material and, according to my daughter who has seen her live, has a powerful voice which she uses when she feels like it. I love the music of the Seventies but I'd hate to be stuck in a time warp where anything modern is automatically bad.”
I'm the same as you. Every decade produces gold and dross, whether it's film or music and it's so tedious to read of this "golden era of film / music" stuff. I love a lot of Seventies music too, but also music from decades earlier and later - and current! Music is music: it changes, it inspires: if it's good, it's good. I saw Lacuna Coil the other week, and loved them, and listened to T.Rex's early stuff the other day and that was great too.
