Glee Goes Gold
Posted in Journey, Songs Download, iTunes on the November 4, 2009
The ‘Glee’ cast recording of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ has been certified gold after being downloaded over half a million times. And that’s just the legal downloads. With their tracks selling big time on iTunes, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Actress Lea Michele talked about it saying “The great thing about our show is that some of the songs that we do sound very close to the original and others are completely re-done and ‘mashed up.’ It’s great that we’ve brought these old songs back and we’ve put a new twist to them, while still honoring the amazing songs that they are. Matthew Morrison added “I feel like we’re revitalizing the music industry. The younger generation hears songs they never heard before through our show. And I’ll be bold as to say that I think some of the records we’re doing are even better than the originals.”
Shakira is Cool with Illegal Downloads
Posted in Singer, Songs Download on the October 23, 2009
While Lily Allen is on a major tirade about people illegally downloading her music, Latina singer Shakira thinks that it’s cool and has absolutely no problem with her fans basically stealing money from her. In a recent interview, Shakira explained that she felt closer to the “fans and the people who appreciate the music” when her music is downloaded, illegal or otherwise. She said “It’s the democratisation of music in a way. And music is a gift. That’s what it should be, a gift.” That is definitely the nicest way of looking at it. But then again, it’s easy to think that way when you have loads of money stored away somewhere.
