G.O.A.T.

So I’m not, what you would call, a Beyonce fan. I’m rather indifferent to most musical acts that are popular right now. I have in the past compared musical eras and groups. In a discussion about some of the female groups of the last few years I realized that some special ladies have been left off of the list and I’m her to remedy this. The Pointer Sisters. Yes that’s right. See one of the things about musical acts today is all the “help” they can get. Milli Vanilli probably made people recognize it and C&C Music Factory pushed it further. You could grab a big girl with a great voice while showing people a model chick. You’d have a hit until someone realized that the girl in the video wasn’t singing. From that to the era of auto-tune that lets Kanye sing as well as T-Pain and you start to wonder who can ACTUALLY sing. Well the pointer sisters were coming from a time where singers could sing. Plus in the 80’s people had weird styles so you could just make someone cool. You just threw stuff out there and hoped it stuck normally if you had a good sound it would work. Well the Pointer Sisters had a good sound. Enjoy:

  1. Man! This post is right on time. I JUST hear “Automatic” in a restaurant, not having heard it in at least 10 years, and downloaded it on iTunes. Such a dope song by some really dope sisters.

  2. been hearing a MJB song all over tv lately and it is full of auto tune–not just in the refrain to spice it up or something–it’s that song about LeBron James’s old coach or something–terrible stuff
