Vocalist Listing Question...

Post by singer1 » Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:05 am

Curious; is anybody else? There was recently a listing for a pop/ rock vocalist. The interesting part is that they reference artists such as, wait for it, Rianna, Teio Cruz, etc. I can see the pop aspect of this, but rock?? Child please!
I know these were referenced by the provider, but could we at least ask them for a clarification of genre.
We are already confused enough with fitting genre classification. Bemusedly yours, D.B.

O.K. Here is the listing. See if you agree with this... remember, they DO ASK for pop/rock vocalists. Something about the ala's just really make me beg to ask, "Do you know what you are asking for?"

Y120312DS

POP/ROCK DEMO SINGERS needed by an Independent Music Production Company looking for talent that "can emulate some of the current hit sounds." This is a great opportunity to really showcase your singing ability! They'd prefer a vocalist who has their own studio and is able to track top-quality vocals Ð but it's not a requirement. They're looking for someone with the vocal talent to handle a wide array of CONTEMPORARY song styles! Think CURRENT radio soundsÉfrom Rihanna to Leona Lewis to Taio Cruz to Big Time Rush!!! Male or Female vocals are okay! They're looking for VOCAL talent here rather than original material Ð so COVERS ARE OKAY! But make sure the recording is top notch and shows off your KILLER vocals! This deal is for a fee of $150 per session. To show them your range, submit two to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics and bio. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than Monday, March 12, 2012. TAXI #Y120312DS

Now I know that when I think of the pop/rock genre, these are the FIRST PEOPLE I THINK OF!! Yeah... D.B.
