The Perfect Singer...

So, nowadays, record labels are basically giving almost anyone a record deal- even if they can't even sing. I don't see how a label would want someone with little to no talent to be representing their company, it's quite absurd. For me, it's also hard to find good music because most of them are terrible or I just don't like that type of music. Lately, though, I've found some brilliant musicians and their music is so inspiring and enchanting.

The Perfect Chops
Okay, so this might be just my opinion, but I love soprano voices. Soprano is the highest note in singing. Maybe it's just because I'm an alto(unfortunately), but I love higher voices! It makes for a better song and if the artist makes the lyrics dramatic and emotional, it makes the song sound way better. Some artists, like Adele, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande are sopranos, and they are quite amazing. If you're not a soprano, though, you're an alto. Artists like Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and my favorite artist of the moment, Lana Del Rey are Altos and they're just as amazing as sopranos, if not better. Soprano or alto, either is the way to go.

Creating an Image
Maybe the most important step is proving where you stand in the music industry. Lady Gaga is known as the wierd, I-don't-care-what-I-wear type. Katy Perry is the charismatic, edgy girl, Taylor Swift is the modest, country girl that lives next door. Image is everything. One artist I don't really like is Kanye West, the jerk who ruins award shows for country girls about to win an award. Since he came off as a jerk with that whole "Beyonce should have won this award and so much more" crap I don't care for his music. Whatever your image may be, make it something people would be attracted to.

Melodic, Powerful Lyrics
Songs that have inspirational lyrics are songs that usually win awards. Just saying. I think songs that have some sort of story behind them. The more emotion, the better. You shouldn't be afraid to just belt it out and put all that's on your mind into a song because that seems easier than talking about it. If you've ever listened to the songs on Demi Lovato's "Unbroken" album, you'll see how much pain and sorrow was behind it. Mostly all her songs are about her struggle with rehab and staying healthy, which made for a splendid album. Even though most of the songs these days are apologies for party rocking, there are still great artists who put their all into making the perfect album and their hard work most definitely paid off.
