LOL. She sure has been known to do that. She should have stopped that when she started packing on the pounds.

Wow, that’s quite the list. “Attention whore,” indeed. Looks like he’s made a pretty good living writing songs.
I noticed that I’ve not heard a single one of his songs, either!
Doesn’t matter. The general public doesn’t care about mechanics or theory. They care about perceived “talent.”

Well, I’m not a music expert, but when I’ve listened to Led Zeppelin and The Who, I’m able to be impressed with and enjoy Robert Plant’s and Roger Daltrey’s range. I’ve heard some say that Jimmy Page isn’t all that on guitar, but he’s better than me for sure.
Interestingly, I’ve read that Pete Townshend wasn’t impressed by Zeppelin, but then you read a lot of things.

Don’t be a playa piano hatah.
He just described most pop stars. That’s why they’re pop stars and not 1st chair violinist.
Unedited and awful!

People don't want to know how the sausage is made.
She’s also known to be quite racist…hosting frequent parties where no whites are allowed.
...for those songs they don't already know is performed by Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmour, Angus Young, Randy Rhoads, Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochran, etc.
I remember the days in high school. Everybody knew who everybody’s favorite band was, it was their identity.
Had a friend in high school, big REO Speedwagon fan. Wore their T-Shirt every day. And then, Hi Infidelity came out. I noticed he hadn’t been wearing their T-Shirt, so I asked, and he told me, “I’m never listening to that effing band again.”
The most overrated and overplayed Christmas song. I hate it.
“She doesn’t play anything, she doesn’t play keyboard or piano. She doesn’t understand music, she doesn’t know chord changes and music theory or anything like that,” Afanasieff said during the podcast.
So?
I am told I have a 3.5 octave voice and I can sing many song Which are difficult for most.
I also imagine alternative speeds, pauses, instruments.
One song I will never sing is “Hallelujah “
I don’t get the lyrics and it’s one of those songs that sings itself. Anyone singing it sounds great.
As for Mariah, she is an amazing entertainer
I have no idea what a diminished chord is and don’t care
Not interested in music theory either.
Hummm a few bars and I’m good
Too funny and too true.
I was surprised to see that REO Speedwagon has more than a dozen former members and how many were lead singers. I was also surprised to see that it was the keyboardist, Neal Doughty, who led the band and is the only original member still in the band.
Their pop tunes from Hi-Infidelity sound like those a keyboard player would champion, compared to what a vocalist or lead guitarist would want. After almost a decade switching it up, it might have been inevitable that they'd end up playing pop music.
It’s a lot harder to find a Mariah Carey than it is to find a Walter Afanasieff.
Like Jonathan Cain destroyed Journey.
My daughter has a masters in vocal performance and pedagogy.
I want to show this to her and watch her shake her head.
She is not a fan of MC.
Uffda.
I was thinking along the same lines as you.
But then I got to post #67.
Uffda.
Should have said dominant 7th, GBDF. Not a Theory/Comp major, but when someone brags about knowing A LOT about music, they usually mean pop music.
