The World's Gone Gaga...

With the splurge of rising 'talent' that trickled out of Tuesday nights Brit Awards, I came to wonder about the fate of the Noughties. Since the blossoming 1900's, each decade has never failed to capture a pool of musical promise; voices that moulded each era, to this day, hold a prominent accommodation in the world's album collection. This summons the wonderment regarding which artists of now, will actually be fondly remembered and continue to play as 30 years trickles on in time. I have to admit, with the noise of tin-like beats and autotuned voice..it's not quite shaping out to be a decade we can be proud of!

Although I may be a biased soul, as i can't help but worship the vintage hums of a world pre - Gaga; however, the struggle to find modern comparisons with history's musical greats remains a fragment of impossibility. Nostalgia derives from the darling 1950's, an era known for conjuring the sensational Elvis Presley; whilst the swinging 60's discovered our rock&roll lads, The Beatles.

Continuing onto the 80's, which admittedly held a jumble-sale of questionable music; but still managed to highlight the likes of David Bowie, Madonna, and of course, The Smiths. A group in rebellion with 1980's techno scene, using keyboards and melodic voice to put an influential stamp on the decade. Later brought the 1990's, Oasis and Blur, two bands that introduced a fresh genre in music, the Britpop revolution.

Evidently, this bubbles up a lining of doubt in 21st century sound. As the clocks tick forward and time progresses, can we truly remember Cheryl Cole as the Noughties' musical prodigy?! It seems the modern way to reach fame is not through talent, but through the paparazzi. Apparently, the hideously mainstream chart tracks of today behold acts like Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk and N-Dubz; lets hope I'm not the only sole praying for the tedious culture of  R&B to return to the ghetto! If only JLS would back flip their way out of the Top 40 and make way for true musicians to mark the Noughties with real talent. Fingers crossed Mumford & Sons...
