“With a lot of what we take to be true feelings, especially on pop records, we feel them because they're cleverly crafted. And because the words are written by somebody who knows how to craft words and draw on those things and convey those feelings. That doesn't mean they're dishonest. But it also doesn't mean that it's all just pure primitive emotion spilling out.” KnowsFeelsMeanFeelingsEmotionKnow HowRecordsWrittenPureDrawsPopsBeing TrueCraftsPrimitiveSpillingTrue Feelings Author:David Byrne

“When I hear the name Michael Jackson, I think of brilliance, of dazzling stars, lasers and deep emotions. I think he is one of the world's biggest and greatest stars, and it just so happens that he is one of the most gifted music makers the world has ever known. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock, and Soul. I love you Michael.” PeopleThinkingWorldSoulHappensNamesStarsEmotionKnownRocksLove YouPlanetsKingsPopsMakersGiftedFinestBrillianceDazzlingEstimationLasersDeep Emotions Author:Elizabeth Taylor
“Pop music provides not just the soundtrack to our lives, as the cliche goes; it releases our emotions and helps us to articulate them.

“All the big pop acts that I've been into over the years - whether it's ABBA or Prince - managed to combine amazing melodies and honest human emotion.

“Twentieth-century culture's disease is the inability to feel their reality. People cluster to TV, soap operas, movies, theater, pop idols and they have wild emotion over symbols.

“When you sing opera you are very far from the people, you are onstage, and between you and the people there is the orchestra. So you have to launch your emotions very, very far. When you sing pop, you are singing very close - the microphone is very close to your mouth. You can whisper your emotions into the microphone.” PeopleEmotionSingingMouthsPopsOperaOrchestraMicrophones Author:Andrea Bocelli
“All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality.

“There were a lot of things I listened to, but so-called pop music never killed me, you know, the type of stuff that always seems to make it on the radio. The whole radio thing seems so... it's like they've accepted the whole "new wave" thing only because this kind of pop element came into it. In Europe they really love emotion, but here it's like, "let's stay away from it because we might cry or something".” KnowsKindWholeSeemsMightStuffEmotionCryTypeElementsEuropeWaveRadioPopsAcceptedPop MusicLove Emotion Author:Tom Verlaine
