It's not new, Run-DMC and Aerosmith did that 20 years ago and Public Enemy and Anthrax did it about 17 years ago. :)

"Walk This Way" and "Bring The Noise". The concept certainly isn't new, but the term was recently coined.

Although some of your technical points may be correct I think you are also over generalising things. Etta James could project herself quite effectively without a mic, and although I love Maria Callas I find Opera terribly boring, all technique and for me often no substance. I think because it is so unnatural. People don't communicate that way, wailing at one another! Lotsa technique, but very dull for me. Though I did hear some Wagner opera music yesterday that way pretty intense.

Actually, if you practice singing yourself you will see that there are indeed 3 basic styles. Any pop singer that projects themselves are really using opera style musical technique of singing through your chest. It is true that classical western opera is too dull and not emotionally moving but there are exceptions and modern broadway style opera is very moving. The European Cantors sang hands down the best opera musical style since they were very dynamic and moving since they were essentially praying to G-d. I just called it opera style since that what most people understand but really goes back thousands of years and should be called "singing through one's chest".

Some "modern" artists I like; Robbie Williams, Moby & Pink. But very occasionally!! :o

I had a record of Cantorial singing awhile back, some of the names were Roitman, hmmmmm, I forget now, I sold the LP about 3 months ago. But you are right, that was quite good. Have you ever heard Meredith Monk? If so what do you think about her? I like her alot.

I find that kind of talk rather disturbing.
Mattisyahu is an example of goodness in an otherwise trash filled musical arena. His music is a mix of rap and Reggae but has anyone stopped to listen to the Lyrics? They ALL praise Hashem!
In regular gangsta rap, most of the time it talks exclusively of the gold they've got round their necks, what kind of awesome car they've got, who they're going to bust a cap on and that kind of nonsense.
The style of music is not what is wicked. It's the message behind it. When the message changes...and if that message is a blessing to G-d...then who are you or anyone else to judge it?
