I agree with you on James Bay being dull, but tbf so is Lily Allen imo who often also talk sings as I like to call it. And out of interest are you against any white male playing the Guitar? I'm only interested because I know that some people have a weird issue with it even if the act is decent.

it's annoying as well because it's actually a topic that I really enjoy discussing but it's impossible with the constant "the boy who cried wolf" routine

Adam, if you knew a little about the Brits, you'd know that Lily wouldn't have been eligible in the first place since she hasn't had a top 40 album in the past year (and I don't see why she would have, considering she hasn't released one)

You can't swing Ellie Goulding in a Record Company lobby without hitting a multitude of Singer Songwriters. EVERY year there's some boring man with a guitar nominated that's just the same as the boring man with a guitar that was nominated the year before. James Bay is generic and uninteresting, he is the definition of a cookie cutter artist. |

Of course, this is all heavily ironic considering boybands such as HomeTown would struggle writing their own names, never mind a song

Even if Lily did play the guitar (which... she doesn't), there literally aren't any other women for her to compete with in that market? Yet if you look at the men, you've got James Bay, Ed Sheeran, Jack Garratt, Passenger, Hozier, Jamie Lawson... and that's before you've even left the UK and Ireland/got onto bands

Out of interest as I've had nobody answer me yet on it, are some of you just against Guitar players? Because I really like a J-Rock Group called Ling Tosite Sigure, and I'm thinking that if by some weird reality that they did win Best International Act at The Grammys would people just call the lead singer an AGWG? Because I've even seen people like Hozier and George Ezra (who I happen to class as decent) get called boring and WGWG in a negative way just because they dare to play the Guitar.

Is the point that people just don't like guitars or is it that people don't like the boring generic "indie" songs that they play with it
Because I thought it was the latter Last edited by RichardG; 22-02-2016 at 08:32 PM. |

Yeah that happens with most music artists, background music.. Or are they supposed to humm the song themselves whilst singing?

"White girl with a guitar" =/= "white girl who sat near a guitar once"
