The way the companies took the R+R audience was with music that was a combination of their interpretation of Rock and Roll and their preferred music Tin Pan Alley and white pop. This combination was soon to be known as "Bubblegum" pop.]]> 2017-10-31 03:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/201998896 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202000431 "Bubblegum" pop music was very upbeat, simple, and catchy. It is music that appeals to the immature, hormone-driven teenagers. These songs are very simple with good hooks and choruses that make the listener want to listen to the song continuously. It is definitely less sophisticated as sings by Ben E. King, Little Richard, and Jimmie Rodgers. Most of these songs are about romantic interests, and basic ideas of happiness, fun and etc. One main idea that should be remembered about this type of music is that the big companies produced this music just for money. This music was industrialized with Brill Building style processing and the singers, teen idols mostly, where very inexperienced singers who had a very attractive, presentable face. ]]> 2017-10-31 03:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202000431 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202002536 As said earlier, the big companies who created this "Bubblegum" music was just doing it to make a profit. To help sell more music and gain more profit, the companies found young and handsome teenagers and made them into stars. Teen Idols were seen as the ideal boyfriend for the teenage girl audience. These boys were mostly inexperienced singers so the songs the sang were very simple. Basically, their faces were all that matters to the companies. Songs would be written for the boys and the boys would sing it the best they can. ]]> 2017-10-31 03:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202002536 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003346 Ricky Nelson]]> 2017-10-31 04:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003346 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003514 Fabian Forte]]> 2017-10-31 04:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003514 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003782 2017-10-31 04:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003782 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003935 2017-10-31 04:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003935 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003987 Surprisingly, a lot of girl musicians started arising into fame during this "Bubblegum" era. Most of these groups were African American teenage girls like The Ronettes, The Chiffons, and The Crystals. Compared to the teen idols, these girls were experienced singers who sung songs that required a lot more shill than a teen idol. Yes, girl groups also relied on looks but also skill was an important aspect, which is very surprising compared to teen idols. In girl groups, there was background singers that provided an accompaniment of hand claps and other percussion instruments. ]]> 2017-10-31 04:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202003987 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202005537 2017-10-31 04:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202005537 isabella_beltran1 https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202005585 Rock and Roll was definitely not extinct following "The Day The Music Died" but it certainly will not be the same as it once was in the early 1950s. Now at this time, the turn of the 1960s, the industrial music industry of "Bubblegum" is taking over the world, doing knock off songs of R+R with pop and gaining a crazy amount of profits for having performers with a pretty face. ]]> 2017-10-31 04:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_beltran1/oj53taevlsma/wish/202005585
