JTF,
Of course, the same can be said for every rapper out there. I'm not dissing any music. But real singing, I'm talking a la Stevie Wonder/Pattie Labelle/Natalie Cole/Teena Marie, is light years ahead of anything on the market today. That's why Prince made the most money touring last year. He's a true musician who believes in playing music. His latest cd, though, leaves much to be desired. I like a lot of hip hop, but much of it has ushered in a pimp culture that's diametrically opposed to musicianship. As a classical trained pianist, there's no doubt that Keys is good. But true art isn't as marketable nowadays..
