Post Modern Music

Many Artists can be seen as post modern, anyone can look cool even if the music there are producing is poor, When something is so bad that it is considered good is post modern, the best exxample for this I think would be John and Edward or Jedward who managed to get to week 7, they were haqted by a lot of the ublic and by Simon Cowell but the votes came from somewhere.

Musicly Jedward were terrible but were considered good because of their image and the fact that they just had fun on stage without using any music talent.

This is their version of Ghostbusters theme song, they are here taking a song from a film and doing it in their own way, the vocal talent in the song was really poor but their performance was considered good and they got through with a high percentage of the votes.

In this X Factor performance they take two songs and put them together, in "Queen week" at X Factor they performed "Under Pressure" but included "ice ice baby" in their performance, it was funny and entertaining and so bad that it was considered good and they got through another week.

I was unable to embed the videos because it had been disabled so i put the link on my blog

I think the picture of John and Edward and "Radio GaGa" can be seen as post modern becuase they are lyrics from a Queen song but has their image with it, showing they are using existing music from other artists for publicity,
