^Read my post well and then voice your opinion.
I never said that American music didnīt had amazing music compositions or great voices, I just meant that it doesnīt has a larger number of it than any other musical industry. Of course there are amazing artists out there, but I think the writer of the article wasnīt talking about people listening those artist that base their work on musical quality, but on those artists massively known and that most people consume. And thatīs marketing on its maximum expression. Obviously someone who listens to indie bands or who searchs music basing it on their musical/artistic values is much more willing to listen to music from other countries that the casual listener that only listens to what MTV feeds them.
Although it may sound sad for some of you, art, without promotion relies unknown. I was just saying that maybe if J-Pop (or K-Pop, or C-Pop, or Spanish, Arabian, Indian or Hungarian music for that matter) got more promoted people would be willing to listen to it and would see it as more familiar. I know many people who were extremely surprised to know that countries like Japan had a music market to start with.
