A few weeks back i was listening to radio, (which was almost ancient to me), and power 98 has this program from 12am to 1am where listeners choose da songs they want to hear.. They call in and this machine bot answers their call and the listeners leave a msg after the beep and they can choose what song they want and what msg they wld like to give.. U cld say a joke, tell a story, dedicate da song or whatever.. say anything..
So i was just listening to it, from 12-1240.. What seriously annoyed me was that all da songs dedicated were R&B tracks.. MY GOSH!! My ears almost wanted to leave my body that instance.. W/o a Dj, ppl cld just keep asking for R&B songs.. A DJ wld prob mix the tracks and give a bit more variety.. As u can tell, i have low tolerance for songs that contain repetition of lyrics or beats that could potentially cause my mind to go crazy.. What i dun understand about R&B is that when did repetition become a craze or the "in" thing?? If a person were to keep repeating a sentence to me, damm! it wld be irritating.. So why doesnt it apply to R&B?? A great e.g wld be Justin's Sexyback.. Do u even know how many times Justin sang the sentence "Go ahead, be gone with it" in the whole song.. I'd say close to 100 if u ask me.. So do ppl really like repitition R&B or is it just becos its the "in" thing or cool thing to listen to??
I mean sure, sum R&B tracks got sum really nice original beats, but i doubt i'll put it in my phone to listen.. If i put justin's sexyback in my phone, prob aft the 2nd time listening to the song, i'll have an uncontrollable rage to just throw my phone away.. Its just irritating to hear repetition.. Sumtimes, a rock song that repeats their verse in the song can be quite intolerable, imagine the whole song repeating by itself 5 to 6 times.. How can??? I tink even a techno song has more variety in beats than a R&B song!
The only good use of R&B( to me) is that it is good for dancing, clubbing and dancing.. I mean the beats make u wanna move ur body but for listening pleasure... no no..
