LIVE ROCK CRITIC 42 GIRL BAND AND GIRL
As I watch television I peruse the listings. I see musical acts which will be performing and I set my DVR to record the program. I got MIA and HAIM this week. Girl and Girl band. Don’t you have to be able to sing better than a sing along, which is what the weak vocals in Haim sound like. Sing along is not rock and roll.
HAIM performed December 7th 2013 on Saturday Night Live and MIA was hosted by Stephen Colbert the week before.
I do not know what the MIA message is except: I am so cute I can do absolutely anything in front of my recorded music-like tracks.
The musical backing and performance for both MIA and HAIM is sparse and has none of the excitement and dynamic change which should characterize a live rock performance. I believe that MIA and HAIM purport to be rock performance.
The performers are excited it seems as they plod through lacklustre rendition of repetition.
Maroon five was the first group I thought delivered a tiny bit of almost music with a huge dose of we are so cool we really do not have to play or sing.
Repetitious and undistinguished lyrics delivered by persons who cannot sing and bland unexciting music are becoming the norm. I was watching a David Foster interview. He said that without star power there was no hope that a great performance could be created.
