Outside of the chassidishe world, most yeshivish men could not name more than maybe 2 niggunim, and I think I’m being overly generous. I’m not looking for poetry, thank you. The passukin and passages chosen for songs were written far better than any modern lyric. I was simply commenting that in the Jewish music industry lyrics typically don’t play as big of a part in producing a song, and thus the talent of a vocalist plays an extremely large factor. This was in response to your (snide?) comment, about Jews caring about having only an AMAZING singer.
Thank you for the more coherent response. It is appreciated.
