do ya think age should matter in the music scene?

[Riot]

on other forums i post on some people think that, Madonna and Kylie, spice girls.. ect are to old to make music....

[Cdn_Brdr]

Too old to make music??? That's just stupid.
If you can still make a good track then go for it, who cares how old you are.

What is their reasoning behind their thoughts? That they can't iodentify with the kids who are buying their music? As an artist ages so do the fans that grew up listening to him/her so maybe they appreciate that someone they are familiar with is still around.

Tell these people on your other forums that they're dumb. Don't give them an explanation... make it simple.

Hi. You're dumb. Thanx. Bye.

^^^ lol...exactly, they were saying how Madonna shoulnd make music any more because she is old.... BUT HI. she still looks good! same with Kylie...

[LoveKat]

true shaun true, but you have to take into account the image alot of these performers are trying to display. the spice grils old image and even their name and style of music is too immature for how old they really are, as performers age it is often expected that their musical style and image progress with their age....how would you feel if aretha franklin started dressing and acting like britney spears, thats a little unusual, and actually quite frightening :)

[bebu*funfun]

age isn't a factor at all. my dads 51 and hes the lead singer of his band... they have i guess you can call it "resident" at a restaurant/pub and they play there 3 days a week and every night is a sold out show. music is for everyone and its what they produce. they can attract the younger crowd, mid aged crowd and the older crowd. its whatever sounds good.... and like matt said.. if theres a 90 year old grandma that throws down wicked beats...im all for it.

this is exactly what they were saying

i'd be cool with madonna continuing to make music if she was any good at it. she just seems to caterwail over the latest producer.

^^^ That would be so kewl... a 90-year old Breaks DJ who can scratch headlining a party!

I don't think that you can ever be too old to be making music. As said, most artists (and people) will grow and progress over time, and one would like to think that their music would reflect that growth. Granted, it may not appeal to a mass market of 15 year olds, but the point isn't whether it can appeal to that one group of people.

That said, it seems that some artists do a better job of growing older than others. I think the Rolling Stones look silly prancing around stage at 50 or 60+ yeards of age, but by the same token Erc Clapton doesn't seem out of place in the way he performs. Heck, even Bowie still has something f an edge to himself despite his age. If B.Spears or the Spice Girls were still making 'teeny bopper' music in 20 years then yeah, that would look quite laughable. But c'mon, who really expects either of them to be anything more than a footnote in the music marketing handbook of the future anyways?

age doesn't matter yo

and Kylie minogue is fucking hot!!

[r@V3r_rAy]

age shouldnt matter...jus as long as u can drop the beatz n get the croud dancing, thats all that matterz :tounge1:

[No trace]

age or APPEARENCE shouldnt matter when it comes down to the music.. looks just tend to sell more cd's and seats to concerts, but good music can come from just about anyone, who knows how to put it together right

[juice]

and what of the opposite end of the spectrum ?

little kids as music artists?

ie. lil'romeo, and aaron carter (when he first came out).

[ty:rone]

let me tell u this

if bob marley was 75 and still jammin
we'd still be jammin to his jammin
