Is it me hoặc why country âm nhạc only appeal US and Canada and regular âm nhạc and not được ưa chuộng music? Why country âm nhạc worldwide release only appeal pop âm nhạc release bởi country artists like Florida Georgia Line pop âm nhạc and crossover like Lady Antebellum’s Need bạn Now? That’s all people listening to country âm nhạc worldwide does these days. Pop âm nhạc released bởi country stars like Leann Rymes pop âm nhạc and crossover like The Band Perry’s If I Die Young.
Not only that, được ưa chuộng âm nhạc does not appeal country âm nhạc like Miranda Lambert and bạn have to use other được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like pop âm nhạc to use people listening to được ưa chuộng music.
Worse, được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like Vevo and general public like MTV don’t seem to care about country âm nhạc like Brad paisley these days.
It appears that country âm nhạc did not survive the được ưa chuộng âm nhạc curse and bạn have to use regular âm nhạc like video game âm nhạc to hear country âm nhạc like Tim McGraw.
Not only that, it originated only in US and hasn’t travelled worldwide whereas other genres like rock, pop already have as lot of the appeal of country âm nhạc comes from being from its origin. bạn have to use mainstream âm nhạc like Taylor nhanh, swift to listen to được ưa chuộng music.
Speaking of Taylor Swift, she is not country nor crossover. She is pop because Taylor nhanh, swift only appeal pop. Her âm nhạc does not appeal country like Picture To Burn. bạn have to use computer and albums to hear country âm nhạc bởi her like Ours. Not only that, country âm nhạc don’t care about Taylor nhanh, swift like Red and bạn have to use Taylor Swift-less country âm nhạc to hear country like Little Big Town. Why can’t Taylor nhanh, swift use her crossover country act anymore? I guess people listening to Taylor nhanh, swift only appeal pop like tình yêu Story and not country like Mean. In addition, Taylor Swift's country âm nhạc are not mainstream country. Her country âm nhạc are pop music. bạn have to use pop âm nhạc to hear her pop country. That's why country Taylor nhanh, swift are pop music, not country music. I guess Taylor nhanh, swift only appeal pop and not going bởi different genres like country.
Worse, country âm nhạc is not even on the radar really in the UK. I am not sure why, just a quirk of history. In the UK people have only really heard of Taylor nhanh, swift (and only since the Red era) and before her bạn have to really go back to Shania Twain and Garth Brooks for name recognition. Older Brits will know about Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash but most Country Stars can walk around unrecognised in the UK. Reba who? Tim who? George who? If bạn showed 100 ngẫu nhiên Brits a pic of George Strait, bạn probably would be lucky to have 1 person name him correctly.
There are some UK Country âm nhạc singers but can anyone name any without looking them up? Exactly.
The only real markets for Country âm nhạc are USA and Canada and not other markets like Australia and Brazil (despite to a much lesser degree Australia and Brazil has a small scene too respectively).
The CMA is always trying to expand into new markets. That is why they give Pinnacle Awards to Garth Brooks and Taylor nhanh, swift because of the immense international interest they have generated for Country Music. I only know about Country âm nhạc in detail because of Taylor. Lots of other Country Artists have benefited from my coin due to her getting me interested in watching the CMAs, ACMs, CMT awards etc. Taylor was always very articulate and passionate about Country âm nhạc in the UK and helped dispel the bad image it has in the UK of being for bigoted and unsophisticated hicks. She was a great ambassador for it. Nashville owes her a lot. Sadly, internet does not help either because people listening to âm nhạc on the internet don’t care about country âm nhạc and they only listen to mainstream âm nhạc like rock and regular âm nhạc like video game music. The only way is inventions. Country âm nhạc is suppose to be được ưa chuộng âm nhạc because country are được ưa chuộng music, but it's the ''Made in the US'' label that turns off the GP in Châu Âu and được ưa chuộng âm nhạc quickly prefer mainstream âm nhạc as their được ưa chuộng âm nhạc course like R&B and rap.
It's true that country âm nhạc is irrelevant here but there are a couple that have small loyal fanbases. Carrie Underwood managed to sell out the royal Albert hall in apparently 90mins and Lady Antebellum have 3 hàng đầu, đầu trang 10 albums (1 which is platinum and 1 that is gold) and Dolly Parton is also doing well right now but besides a few examples it really isn't on many people's radars unless it's used in like an Avicii song hoặc it's Taylor Swift.
I know that Carrie Underwood has had a few concerts here plus that Country 2 Country Festival. The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful and important venue but in reality it has a small capacity of about 5k. It is hardly Wembley Stadium. The Country 2 Country Festival relied on several major US Country stars to fill the 02 Centre which sound impressive but 20k people out of 10million Londoners is not earthshattering. And it hardly got any UK media attention.
Major US Country acts can come and do a buổi hòa nhạc in Luân Đôn but those attending will be những người hâm mộ because of what they have achieved in the US rather than in the UK, if that makes sense. Kacey Musgraves was here and she did a hợp đồng biểu diễn, gig, biểu diễn in a record store! I could have seen her from 1 foot away but I was busy!
The internet makes it easier for international những người hâm mộ to follow US Country âm nhạc Scene such that the above concerts can happen in Luân Đôn occasionally but when will Carrie hoặc Miranda hoặc Luke actually have a hit in the UK. Blown Away was Carrie Underwood's most successful UK hit but it peaked at 155! There are no Country âm nhạc radio stations in the UK AFAIK so it is difficult even with big names like George Strait.
A lot of current Country Artists actually sound very close to Rock, so Brad Paisley, FGL, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Keith Urban could actually get some traction here because Rock is được ưa chuộng here. Carrie has some songs that sound like soft rock too, reminds me of Belinda Carlisle who was successful in the UK. So it is possible.
I would like Country âm nhạc to be thêm successful in the UK, but at the moment Country acts still struggle to break into the market. hát about tractors and catfish dinners is not gonna change that either. Thus internet does not break country âm nhạc into the mainstream and bạn have to use US/Canada and country tastes like Nashville and CMT to play country like Reba McEntire. So yeah, internet screwed country because internet don’t seem to care about country âm nhạc and được ưa chuộng âm nhạc only appeals country music-less được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like hip-hop.
So I think it has to do with country âm nhạc being rooted in Nashville, where other acts have multiple worldwide connections, country âm nhạc artists are almost exclusive to labels in Tennessee. It’s a thêm local industry, so its artists are generally thêm local.
And I can't at people on a pop âm nhạc diễn đàn (stanning for the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc...) calling country âm nhạc trash when country âm nhạc những người hâm mộ think the same thing about our faves. Lol. But even with country music’s lyrics are far superior to pop music’s lyrics, people prefers pop âm nhạc like Justin Timberlake over country âm nhạc like Kelsey Ballerini.
That’s why country âm nhạc only appeals country tastes like CMT and not được ưa chuộng âm nhạc tastes like Vevo because country âm nhạc is about telling a story, the essence of the songs are the lyrics. While pop những người hâm mộ only concentrate on the hooks, they probably think country âm nhạc is boring.
Not only that, because they sing a lot about trucks and people dont use trucks outside of NA, they sing a lot about Jesus and all the other countries where Jesus is da man are too poor to buy music/something to listen to âm nhạc with, country singers are generally talented (writing, playing, singing) and the GP is thêm interested in booties and they sing with a twang and nobody understands that outside of Georgia and Alabama. That’s why people listen to âm nhạc only appeal America populars like people twerking and young fads like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. People listen to được ưa chuộng âm nhạc don’t seem to care about country âm nhạc like Hunter Hayes hoặc good pop âm nhạc like Spice Girls and Avril Lavigne.
But seriously, they talk about the same things hip hop artists talk about. Only hip hop artists get thêm criticism. But hip hop is thêm global thankfully. Don't be too mad. They don't use R&B much outside the USA either despite R&B is mainstream unlike country.
Casual listener perceives country âm nhạc as an essentially "American thing." And this is what keeps the rest of the world from receiving it with open arms. That’s why country âm nhạc are not mainstream music. Mainstream âm nhạc is country music-less được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like rock and R&B.
I think there are tons of prejudices against country outside the US and it is regarded as an inferior genre. Few years cách đây during a speak activity about âm nhạc in my English class, I đã đưa ý kiến that country is very được ưa chuộng in the US and a girl was like "you can't be serious, who on Earth would listen to it!". To be honest I discovered country just a short time cách đây and I really tình yêu Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Kacey Musgraves hoặc Dixie Chicks. I really don't get why people WW don't listen to country because âm nhạc at least bởi those artists I mentioned is miles better than 99% of current "pop" music.
As I đã đưa ý kiến I think that the main problem are prejudices, most people associate country with cowboys, cows, pistols and silly songs about blue mountains' tops where bạn ride on your horse hoặc something.
The other thing can be that most (or all?) country artists don't bother to promote outside their an toàn, két an toàn zone (the US).
AFAIK it's only really used in the US, and Canada and not other countries like Ireland because worldwide only appeals America-less places and America repeats like Nhật Bản and ngôi sao Wars respectively, not America like US. Worldwide does not appeal America like country music. America-less places like Châu Âu and America repeats like America phim chiếu rạp are thêm được ưa chuộng than America like country âm nhạc because worldwide hates America like Canada and stick with America-less places like UK and America repeats like pop music. That's sad. Are the major stars like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks unknowns to people outside those two countries?
Well there is a person from Central Châu Âu and honestly, people in Châu Âu had never heard of Garth before one person became thêm interested in music. That person heard about Dolly but the person didn't have any idea that she was a singer and the person thought she was just a lady with big boobs.
Other country legends like Reba McEntire, Martina, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and also every current artist are completely unknown here. The only one who is semi-known is Taylor nhanh, swift but only thanks to the Red era and songs like IKYWT and WANEGBT which aren't really country.
But I think it has something to do with the lyrics not being very relatable too and a lot of the songs namedrop US states and things that are thêm common/popular in the US that people in other countries wouldn't find relatable hoặc appreciate. Need bạn Now did ok here although it kinda had a pop sound with country elements but lyrics that a lot of people everywhere could relate to rather than just people in like Oklahoma hoặc wherever.
Country is the US's regional music. So it doesn't vượt qua, cross over to other countries just like their regional âm nhạc doesn't vượt qua, cross over WW because other countries like Nhật Bản don't relate to hát about trailers, cowboys and the like, and unfortunately a lot of country âm nhạc is cliche like that. It's the twang that sounds outdated and traditional and international people don't get the appeal of the twang.
I seriously like those country twangs if mixed with modern sounds, like what Taylor nhanh, swift is doing. Red the song is such a bop. Our Song is an anthem. And bạn Belong With Me is a smash.
What Shania Twain did is add some adult pop flavors to the usual country sound, and it worked. It didn't hurt that adult contemporary songs were a big deal during the 90s. And that's the sound she produced bởi mixing the country sound to pop songs.
So I have no idea and I thought of like R&B (too American) except R&B is kinda global. Maybe because they're centered and focused only in the US, like I don't know if they ever tried to promote themselves outside of their country.
But there are a few country songs that were global hits. But a lot of people label it as a pop-rock hoặc rock sometimes. For example, Need bạn Now.
Well I live in the US and growing up, barely anyone I knew listened to it on a constant basis. Even internet like YouTube doesn’t know country âm nhạc at all despite country âm nhạc video exist on YouTube. I didn't realize how much I tình yêu country âm nhạc until recently and how much I connect to it. My answer is that country âm nhạc can be stereotypical, but every genre is, but when bạn cut through the stupid artists of country, bạn realize how great it is.
Let’s face it, được ưa chuộng âm nhạc hates country music. Plain and simple. Country âm nhạc doesn’t use được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like electric đàn ghi ta, guitar which country âm nhạc does and only use regular âm nhạc like twang despite country âm nhạc are not regular music. So why US hates country âm nhạc and US only wants other được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like pop âm nhạc and Beyonce? Why US does not play country âm nhạc and the only way is country stations like CMT?
What are your thoughts on country âm nhạc struggle in the được ưa chuộng âm nhạc industry?
Not only that, được ưa chuộng âm nhạc does not appeal country âm nhạc like Miranda Lambert and bạn have to use other được ưa chuộng âm nhạc like pop âm nhạc to use people listening to được ưa chuộng music.
