Marina's Commentary on the state of Dance Music [ continued ]

By: Marina

Years ago we had performers! They made records in addition to dancing, in addition to acting. It was called a triple threater folks! Amazing that a form of music as visually and actively named as Dance music cannot recognize the importance of bringing a great performer in front of the public to sell the music. After all someone who has $15 to spend on one CD in Boisey, Idaho has surely never heard of Junior V., or Danny T. Sadly enough, they've probably never heard of Gina G.. Have you? This year an entertainer was brought back to the forefront again to remind us of the power that a celebrity can hold. CHER FEVER! "Believe", Sonny & Cher re-runs, a book, a movie, WOW! I'm a believer! Cher at age 53 proves to those in the record business, that a truly talented artist is ageless. Help us dance community. We want our Chers', our Bettes', and our Barbras'! We want Liza with a Z! Patti LaBelle with a P! Where are the performers?

Where are our dance artists?! When are the record labels going to understand that artistry needs to be nurtured and paid for? After all dancing for Grandma was expensive! Ballet twice a week, one day jazz, one day tap. How else could an aspiring, performing, attention-suck acquire the skills necessary in which to woo an audience. And we want to be wooed. Boy, do we ever! We crave it, fantasize to it! "Give us what we want, what we really, really want"! No, not the Spice Girls, not the Funky Green Dogs, not DJ Company!! We want the real stuff! Someone who we think we know. Someone who comes into our living rooms and explodes on the screen into song and dance in one moment, and then can turn and deliver a tune that wrenches the heart in another. Someone who represents the fashions and the voice of our times. Someone controversial but caring, fantastic yet human. Where are the stars? Where are our Judys', our Freds' & Gingers', our Michaels', even Madonna. Where are the dancers? Dance music, huh? Dance music. You like dance music? I love dance music!!
