I love lyrics, lyrics are where I connect with the song. I also enjoy a melody that I can connect to. I enjoy certain styles of melodies more than others. A good chorus is always wonderful and I like big notes. I really enjoy good k’vetchy songs. I’m into many different styles of music, but I listen to the words and that’s what gets me. I think that’s why I’m not enamored with the Beatles, for the most part they just sound like nonsensical ramblings of spun out druggies.
Also, in regards to Jewish music most of the time the lyrics are divrei kedusha, so usually the lyrics are quite meaningful and an amazing vocalist can take them to the next level. What a talented singer can do to a song should not be discredited. In the Jewish music industry, 90% of song making is composing the melody because the words are already written. So when you’ve composed a beautiful melody you’re obviously going to look for the RIGHT singer to do it justice. Certain vocalists are perfect for some songs that other singers couldn’t bring to their full potential. Yes, if a less popular singer performs your song, chances are less people would hear it. I think that’s pretty basic.
In this case, you’re misspelling made something unclear. “a goof voice” I thought you were making fun of the electronic voices certain producers are fond of. Please make an effort, I do.
