For music lovers, MySpace has been a gift from the God’s. It gives you the ability to access the most popular artist to the most mundane.

   MySpace not only provides entertainment for the listener, but it provides exposure for up and coming artists, that ten years ago an artist could never have dreamed. Where else can their music be heard by millions without scouring the earth performing thousands of shows and appearing on MTV?

   MySpace allows the listener to search for music by the artist name, genre, location and the top artist on the site, which is determined by the number of plays an artist has received.

   MySpace is like a musical buffet. It does not matter what your preference of music entails; it is impossible not to find something that appeals to your taste of music. In fact you will be surprised just how diverse your musical taste can become.

   I’m not a fan of pop music; in fact, I despise it. It disturbs me to no end that image overrides talent. If you have to have a track overlapping your voice when performing—cough—Britney Spears, then you have no business being a singer. But my views on this genre have been slightly altered with the discovery of Mika by way of MySpace.

   First and foremost, I want it to be known that I, by no means, am crowning him the next coming of the great Freddie Mercury. Mercury is in a league of his own and could possibly be the greatest rock and roll front man of all time. But if Mercury and Jim Morrison, former lead singer of The Doors, had a love child, Mika would be the result of that union.

   Mika hails from London by way of Lebanon and provides a fresh breath of air to a genre of music that is so watered down due to the corporate agenda. It’s nice to see a new interpretation of this genre of music that the likes of the Simpson sisters have drug to the ground.

   MySpace is not just a place for networking, maintaining and reconnecting with friends, it’s also a place to discover new musical artists. If you have not checked out the music section on MySpace, I encourage you too; in fact, I am demanding that you do. If it were not for MySpace I would be oblivious to half of the artist in my personal music library.
