That's not the same as "the music industry"<br />and personally, I prefer to blame Whitney for that "melisma" craze as I like Mariah and wouldn't want to blame her for what is in my opinion one of the worst things which happened in popular music the last 30 years. ;)<br />As for that collaboration with rappers, another thing not seen by everyone in a positive light but also something which hardly could have been done by those before her as rap really only came into it's own in the eighties.Opie Everhttp://www.facebook.com/opie.evernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-55526858885104225932012-09-24T05:16:25.179+01:002012-09-24T05:16:25.179+01:00For better or for worse, the whole industry in its...For better or for worse, the whole industry in its entirety.
