Music rant!

Okay - so I don't pretend to be some sort of music snob or whatever you want to call it. But there is one thing that REALLY gets up my nose.

Dance/techno singers covering AMAZING country songs, making them into techno-y crap. What bugs me even more is that people who say they HATE country music, love all the dance/techno covers. I'm not saying all techno is bad. I like some of it. I'm just saying COUNTRY SONGS SHOULD NOT BE TURNED INTO TECHNO DANCE CRAP!

I love country music. I like it when song lyrics actually have meaning. You can tell that country artists really feel what they are singing. But when other artists decide to turn it into a dance song, even if the lyrics are the same, the feeling is gone.

Examples:
Concrete Angel - Martine McBride (ORIGINAL SONG)
Concrete Angel - DJ Boonie (COVER)

What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts (ORIGINAL SONG)
What Hurts The Most - Cascada (COVER)

These are two of my favourite songs ever, every time I listen to them I get chills up my spine. That's what good music should do. But every time I listen to the covers - I want to vomit a little. They take all the beauty.. all the emotion out of the song.

Okay, there's my music rant. :)
