Is The Industry Open To Interpretation?
Written Apr. 16, 2008 by Sean Ross in Content with 0 Comments
One of the interesting trends to emerge from "American Idol" in recent seasons -- proven again last night by David Cook's version of "Always Be My Baby" -- is that audiences are surprisingly open to hearing songs they know creatively reinterpreted, whether it was Blake Lewis' "You Give Love A Bad Name" last season, or Chikezie's "She's A Woman," or even to discovery of songs. Jason Castro clearly has a career as a music supervisor in TV or at an ad agency if this Idol thing doesn't work out. So is it time for well chosen cover songs to make their way back into the A&R person's bag of tricks? Thoughts in this week's Ross On Radio.
