The American industry lobby RIAA began with it to warn Web Karaoke singers, who publish their shrill films with YouTube and other video sides. A shot against the alive side of the Web culture - and in the own knee.
How do many 15-Jährige know still Aretha Franklins classical author “Respect” from the year 1967? Some millions, and that is owed neither Franklin, nor their disk company: To completely new popularity some months ago two young girls from the Netherlands help the Song. As “Pomme & Kelly” they rockten covered Playback acting like before a Webcam around and did this so spritzig that the dear Web Community them kürte promptly to the first Google Idols so mentioned (which has to do directly however nothing with the search machine operator).

Because to the tones of other humans before the camera a show to take off is trend. The lightning success of YouTube is based to a good part on although there are far older services, which offer the same for years more or less. But only the boom of the Web Karaoke - 2004 inadvertently introduced of lengthen legendary Gary Brolsma, which zappelte to the inexpressible summer hit Dragostea DIN Tei “Numa Numa” - help sides such as Albinoblacksheep, Vimeo or Googleidol to cult status. Now wackelt before the Webcam, who is young and wants in to be and in the Web considered.
Any longer are not enough however, if it goes according to the US music lobby RIAA. Those began obviously already at the beginning of of June to warn aimed the Macher of such Web Karaoke videos with YouTube. (Which is to probably mean so well always) the author and license rights before the publication were not in most cases clarified, an agreement of the copyright owners is not present.
The RIAA, although formally surely in the right, seems here very badly in an advisory manner. It shoots at an extremely alive part of the Web culture - the lobby seems to look further for ways to make itself extremely unpopular. But more than: Whether the procedure of the music lobby of the industry is useful, which represents it, may be doubted. Finally the Web Karaoke videos lead above all to the fact that straight songs, which are not popular at the target group it admits become.

Because an per diagonal song is noticed, the more successfully the turned video. Pomme and Kelly particularly select themselves according to own statement for their videos “lame” songs: Thus mostly the hits of their parents and grandparents are meant or music pieces off the Mainstreams, which achieves a small public due to their shrill otherwise rather. Aretha Franklin came not to new honours, because their Song was felt as good, but as merry. Gary Brolsmas improved Numa Numa to an enormously ironical laughter number - before the Song was only starting from 2 litres of Sangria bearable, afterwards thought one of Brolsma and had its fun to it.
All this is not new also: Music videos applied in the industry since beginning of their massive distribution, which began correctly with MTV and Co only into the Achtzigern, particularly as graduation material. Against its distribution the music industry had never somewhat undertaken. , The industry steering wheels had fast recognized a strong video, sold in its wake even an extremely thin Liedchen. And the straight older material becomes again popular, because one can feel it - owing to Outfits the star like their music - after years only as material satire (Glam Rocker, Abba), is also not again: Ironically laughing is definite part of the spirit of the time dances and salespromoting.
But since Handyfirmen tie-clips sell mobilely, since Download Shops negotiate like iTunes with their lawyers around licenses for the Web sales of common music videos buhlen and, the industry a new value in the tie-clips discovered. And pounds now on its exclusive right to illustrate music. As if it could do that better than Pomme, Kelly or Gary.
On the day after the TV-radiant emittance of the first “Lynne & Tessa - show” weights Tessa in its Blog over clearly existing - qualitative lack of the premiere sequence.
In the TV-Business is it usually like that that one tries to emphasize property at a transmission. Above all if it concerns the own transmission, this is the case. If this is not however like that, some must have run inclined. Happened with the “Lynne & Tessa show”, which was for the first time to be seen II at whit-monday with RTL. Further consequences are to come, avowed RTL director of ii-program Axel bold recently. These should be produced then however high-quality.
That finds also host Tessa, which writes in its Blog: „There are many Kritkpunkte on our part, which agree probably complete with those from you. “This is however actually not the problem, finds it. „The problem is rather that Lynne and I could already see a few weeks before the first pilot and some things emerged already there, which we criticized badly. And because we communicated so seen hardly a sheet before the mouth to take, we to the production company our doubts and desires. “the MME responsible for production saw and communicated this even similar according to Tessa: „Clear, sehn' we exactly the same, is still changed, we would like that you probably-feel you.”
In the long run however only a change was then made. If the speaker was still merry with pilot production Tessas after feeling, it was with the TV-version only „Schnarch! “. Tessa regarded „the endlessly nervigen “diagrams even as eye-cancer-exciting. Background: Since many tie-clips were present only in bad quality, one could not show these in the complete frame. In the background ran thus a tangle from diagrams, which reminded of an age-old version of the Windows Media Players. „Lynnes and my suggestion were to of course bring something movement into the background however by far more slowly and with substantially less provoking für's eye “, explained Tessa in the connection in its Blog on lynnetessa.de.
In addition, it gets straight that it does not want to talk all not everything badly. Tessa annoys it simply only that not only she, but also the spectators annoy the enumerated points: „And only, because Lynne and I have hardly in principle a correct participation. We express our criticism, it are prophezeiht to do somewhat against it - and at the end: Nothing, “so Tessa. From this reason you came against 23.15 o'clock also first doubts: „Why the transmission actually carries “the Lynne and Tessa for the names - show”? “An answer probably did not find it until today.
The main criticism of the Internet star is however not directed against the production company: „It is naturally also not like that, all people of the production company or the transmitter are unbelievably bad and behind-cunning humans. But I imagine evenly, if there is a problem - and one sees that (and that to have the responsible persons according to own statement), then can one it nevertheless change. And exactly I did not see, explain this solution method “her.
When Tessa informed then few minutes later on Quotenmeter.de about the ratingses of the first episode, she seemed to have been shocked in view of the result few: „Straight line found, for all critics a Schmaus “writes it: „However it was to foresee “, read their locking comment">--- We'll use your suggestion to improve translation quality in future updates to our system.
