The Music Industry:
The opening of the first season was also featured on Facebook, with people calling the song one of the greatest they have heard all year. Considering how the year itself has gone, people feel relieved to see a slight change in atmosphere. A new musical platform means more and more artists have a chance to express themselves.
Whether or not the show turns out to be an immense success still remains to be seen. However, the opening with such a bang does fill one’s heart with hope. The writer of this article wishes to see more emerging artists on this show and hopes it goes as far as the rest of them. After all, the best thing about music is when it hits, you don’t feel pain.
