Great posts on Janelle and the overall state of where music is today. I always wonder what would happen if Aretha, Diana, Patti, Janis, Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter(That's who Florence from Florence and the Machine remind me of), Ronnie Spector from the Ronnettes, Chaka and etc were to debut in this era.

I don't think they would have been as appreciated as they are now because bloggers would try to pit all of them against each other and their stan bases would care more about who has sold the more and etc to truly enjoy their music. There are songs from artists I don't like at all that I enjoy...for example, my fave song from C-Tina Aguilera is Hurt. I don't use her as a live performer especially, but I love that song from her.
