Is it me or why country música only appeal US and Canada and regular música and not popular music? Why country música worldwide release only appeal pop música release por country artists like Florida Georgia Line pop música and crossover like Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now? That’s all people listening to country música worldwide does these days. Pop música released por country stars like Leann Rymes pop música and crossover like The Band Perry’s If I Die Young.
Not only that, popular música does not appeal country música like Miranda Lambert and you have to use other popular música like pop música to use people listening to popular music.
Worse, popular música like Vevo and general public like mtv don’t seem to care about country música like Brad paisley these days.
It appears that country música did not survive the popular música curse and you have to use regular música like video game música to hear country música like Tim McGraw.
Not only that, it originated only in US and hasn’t travelled worldwide whereas other genres like rock, pop already have as lot of the appeal of country música comes from being from its origin. You have to use mainstream música like Taylor rápido, swift to listen to popular music.
Speaking of Taylor Swift, she is not country nor crossover. She is pop because Taylor rápido, swift only appeal pop. Her música does not appeal country like Picture To Burn. You have to use computer and albums to hear country música por her like Ours. Not only that, country música don’t care about Taylor rápido, swift like Red and you have to use Taylor Swift-less country música to hear country like Little Big Town. Why can’t Taylor rápido, swift use her crossover country act anymore? I guess people listening to Taylor rápido, swift only appeal pop like amor Story and not country like Mean. In addition, Taylor Swift's country música are not mainstream country. Her country música are pop music. You have to use pop música to hear her pop country. That's why country Taylor rápido, swift are pop music, not country music. I guess Taylor rápido, swift only appeal pop and not going por different genres like country.
Worse, country música is not even on the radar really in the UK. I am not sure why, just a quirk of history. In the UK people have only really heard of Taylor rápido, swift (and only since the Red era) and before her you have to really go back to Shania Twain and Garth Brooks for name recognition. Older Brits will know about Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash but most Country Stars can walk around unrecognised in the UK. Reba who? Tim who? George who? If you showed 100 aleatório Brits a pic of George Strait, you probably would be lucky to have 1 person name him correctly.
There are some UK Country música singers but can anyone name any without looking them up? Exactly.
The only real markets for Country música are USA and Canada and not other markets like Australia and Brazil (despite to a much lesser degree Australia and Brazil has a small scene too respectively).
The CMA is always trying to expand into new markets. That is why they give Pinnacle Awards to Garth Brooks and Taylor rápido, swift because of the immense international interest they have generated for Country Music. I only know about Country música in detail because of Taylor. Lots of other Country Artists have benefited from my coin due to her getting me interested in watching the CMAs, ACMs, CMT awards etc. Taylor was always very articulate and passionate about Country música in the UK and helped dispel the bad image it has in the UK of being for bigoted and unsophisticated hicks. She was a great ambassador for it. Nashville owes her a lot. Sadly, internet does not help either because people listening to música on the internet don’t care about country música and they only listen to mainstream música like rock and regular música like video game music. The only way is inventions. Country música is suppose to be popular música because country are popular music, but it's the ''Made in the US'' label that turns off the GP in europa and popular música quickly prefer mainstream música as their popular música course like R&B and rap.
It's true that country música is irrelevant here but there are a couple that have small loyal fanbases. Carrie Underwood managed to sell out the royal Albert hall in apparently 90mins and Lady Antebellum have 3 topo, início 10 albums (1 which is platinum and 1 that is gold) and Dolly Parton is also doing well right now but besides a few examples it really isn't on many people's radars unless it's used in like an avicii song or it's Taylor Swift.
I know that Carrie Underwood has had a few concerts here plus that Country 2 Country Festival. The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful and important venue but in reality it has a small capacity of about 5k. It is hardly Wembley Stadium. The Country 2 Country Festival relied on several major US Country stars to fill the 02 Centre which sound impressive but 20k people out of 10million Londoners is not earthshattering. And it hardly got any UK media attention.
Major US Country acts can come and do a show, concerto in Londres but those attending will be fãs because of what they have achieved in the US rather than in the UK, if that makes sense. Kacey Musgraves was here and she did a apresentação, show, gig in a record store! I could have seen her from 1 foot away but I was busy!
The internet makes it easier for international fãs to follow US Country música Scene such that the above concerts can happen in Londres occasionally but when will Carrie or Miranda or Luke actually have a hit in the UK. Blown Away was Carrie Underwood's most successful UK hit but it peaked at 155! There are no Country música radio stations in the UK AFAIK so it is difficult even with big names like George Strait.
A lot of current Country Artists actually sound very close to Rock, so Brad Paisley, FGL, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Keith Urban could actually get some traction here because Rock is popular here. Carrie has some songs that sound like soft rock too, reminds me of Belinda Carlisle who was successful in the UK. So it is possible.
I would like Country música to be mais successful in the UK, but at the moment Country acts still struggle to break into the market. cantar about tractors and catfish dinners is not gonna change that either. Thus internet does not break country música into the mainstream and you have to use US/Canada and country tastes like Nashville and CMT to play country like Reba McEntire. So yeah, internet screwed country because internet don’t seem to care about country música and popular música only appeals country music-less popular música like hip-hop.
So I think it has to do with country música being rooted in Nashville, where other acts have multiple worldwide connections, country música artists are almost exclusive to labels in Tennessee. It’s a mais local industry, so its artists are generally mais local.
And I can't at people on a pop música fórum (stanning for the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc...) calling country música trash when country música fãs think the same thing about our faves. Lol. But even with country music’s lyrics are far superior to pop music’s lyrics, people prefers pop música like Justin Timberlake over country música like Kelsey Ballerini.
That’s why country música only appeals country tastes like CMT and not popular música tastes like Vevo because country música is about telling a story, the essence of the songs are the lyrics. While pop fãs only concentrate on the hooks, they probably think country música is boring.
Not only that, because they sing a lot about trucks and people dont use trucks outside of NA, they sing a lot about jesus and all the other countries where jesus is da man are too poor to buy music/something to listen to música with, country singers are generally talented (writing, playing, singing) and the GP is mais interested in booties and they sing with a twang and nobody understands that outside of Georgia and Alabama. That’s why people listen to música only appeal America populars like people twerking and young fads like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. People listen to popular música don’t seem to care about country música like Hunter Hayes or good pop música like Spice Girls and Avril Lavigne.
But seriously, they talk about the same things hip hop artists talk about. Only hip hop artists get mais criticism. But hip hop is mais global thankfully. Don't be too mad. They don't use R&B much outside the USA either despite R&B is mainstream unlike country.
Casual listener perceives country música as an essentially "American thing." And this is what keeps the rest of the world from receiving it with open arms. That’s why country música are not mainstream music. Mainstream música is country music-less popular música like rock and R&B.
I think there are tons of prejudices against country outside the US and it is regarded as an inferior genre. Few years atrás during a speak activity about música in my English class, I said that country is very popular in the US and a girl was like "you can't be serious, who on Earth would listen to it!". To be honest I discovered country just a short time atrás and I really amor Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Kacey Musgraves or Dixie Chicks. I really don't get why people WW don't listen to country because música at least por those artists I mentioned is miles better than 99% of current "pop" music.
As I said I think that the main problem are prejudices, most people associate country with cowboys, cows, pistols and silly songs about blue mountains' tops where you ride on your horse or something.
The other thing can be that most (or all?) country artists don't bother to promote outside their seguro zone (the US).
AFAIK it's only really used in the US, and Canada and not other countries like Ireland because worldwide only appeals America-less places and America repeats like Japão and estrela Wars respectively, not America like US. Worldwide does not appeal America like country music. America-less places like europa and America repeats like America filmes are mais popular than America like country música because worldwide hates America like Canada and stick with America-less places like UK and America repeats like pop music. That's sad. Are the major stars like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks unknowns to people outside those two countries?
Well there is a person from Central europa and honestly, people in europa had never heard of Garth before one person became mais interested in music. That person heard about Dolly but the person didn't have any idea that she was a singer and the person thought she was just a lady with big boobs.
Other country legends like Reba McEntire, Martina, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and also every current artist are completely unknown here. The only one who is semi-known is Taylor rápido, swift but only thanks to the Red era and songs like IKYWT and WANEGBT which aren't really country.
But I think it has something to do with the lyrics not being very relatable too and a lot of the songs namedrop US states and things that are mais common/popular in the US that people in other countries wouldn't find relatable or appreciate. Need You Now did ok here although it kinda had a pop sound with country elements but lyrics that a lot of people everywhere could relate to rather than just people in like Oklahoma or wherever.
Country is the US's regional music. So it doesn't cruz over to other countries just like their regional música doesn't cruz over WW because other countries like Japão don't relate to cantar about trailers, cowboys and the like, and unfortunately a lot of country música is cliche like that. It's the twang that sounds outdated and traditional and international people don't get the appeal of the twang.
I seriously like those country twangs if mixed with modern sounds, like what Taylor rápido, swift is doing. Red the song is such a bop. Our Song is an anthem. And You Belong With Me is a smash.
What Shania Twain did is add some adult pop flavors to the usual country sound, and it worked. It didn't hurt that adult contemporary songs were a big deal during the 90s. And that's the sound she produced por mixing the country sound to pop songs.
So I have no idea and I thought of like R&B (too American) except R&B is kinda global. Maybe because they're centered and focused only in the US, like I don't know if they ever tried to promote themselves outside of their country.
But there are a few country songs that were global hits. But a lot of people label it as a pop-rock or rock sometimes. For example, Need You Now.
Well I live in the US and growing up, barely anyone I knew listened to it on a constant basis. Even internet like YouTube doesn’t know country música at all despite country música vídeos exist on YouTube. I didn't realize how much I amor country música until recently and how much I connect to it. My answer is that country música can be stereotypical, but every genre is, but when you cut through the stupid artists of country, you realize how great it is.
Let’s face it, popular música hates country music. Plain and simple. Country música doesn’t use popular música like electric violão, guitarra which country música does and only use regular música like twang despite country música are not regular music. So why US hates country música and US only wants other popular música like pop música and Beyonce? Why US does not play country música and the only way is country stations like CMT?
