Default *Featuring*

I'm getting really sick of songs *featuring* other people now. It's like a case of spot the one that isn't.... can't people make it on their own these days?!?!

I don't mind em, but some songs are completely ruined by the people who are featured, for example Jay Z killed Linkin Park's Numb in my opinion.

However some ft songs can be good, like Slash ft Matt Shadows - Nothing to Say, and Apocalyptica ft Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus

They seem to be used to either introduce a new artist (i.e. established act introduces a new one) or a new artist features an established artist, or it's a collaboration between similar artists or totally different ones. I think I've covered all the bases there. I think the only kind that I really appreciate are two different types of musician working together, e.g. Linkin Park/Jay Z (despite someone up the thread saying they disliked it.) One of my favourite recent collaborations has been Keane ft. Tigarah - a Japanese female emcee. Bizarre mixes often create really interesting music. I dislike the current trend of grunge/rap artist(s) featuring pop acts (or vice versa) because they all sound really same-y. That said, I do have a soft spot for Tinchy Stryder/Amelle, Chipmunk/Esmee Denters and most recently T.I./Christina Aguilera... so yeah.

I prefer it when they don't feature people too, normally it happens you like one artist and don't like the other so :/ Like with Rihanna ft. Eminem - Love The Way You Lie. I love Rihanna but hate Eminem so I don't actually like the original much.

Same, but today's music is bollocks compared to just a few years back.

2009 and 2010, God what a disgrace.
People like Justin Bieber, JLS, Tinie Tempah, Jay Sean, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry and Rihanna etc all ruling the charts.

It's bollocks.


All these bloody 'Featuring' songs are by artists who are talentless, so they go and call in some Black Guy who thinks he can rap or some idiot like Pit Bull to sing a verse in their songs, Crazy.

I find it boring in excessive amounts. Such as the tendency for Usher, Will.I.Am., Nicki Minaj, T-Pain, Flo Rida, Lil' Wayne, Rihanna, Kanye...etc. to feature on each other's every single. When you have a whole album full of people 'featured' it's really not your work at all, is it? (take note, Tinie Tempah)

I hate when 2 artists do a song and one features another, then one of them releases the song again on their own as a part 2 or something. Its like ffs let it die. -_-

tbh, I quite like it when it's an actual collab and the person featuring has a verse or something, but when they have like 2 lines it pisses me off

Alicia's was worse though. Empire State of Mind Pt 2. That just killed both songs for me.

Most of the time I hate them because they don't build on the original song. Its just the original minus something.

Now You're Gone, Angel In The Night, All I Ever Wanted, Miss You, Every Morning, Promised Myself.

Were all a story going on, well in the videos and myself and other fans loved to see how the story went on, so I like those kind of songs [or videos] that follow on, but seriously when Alica did Empire State Of Mind again I was like thinking,

I bet Jay Z is like 'You Cheeky Bastard' when Alica just blocked him out of the song for Part 2

Alexandra burke is the biggest offender nearly all her singles have some American ****wit who thinks he can rap ,,and manages to make her songs sound 10000x even more annoying...which I didn't think was possible
So yea,, features must die
