Because they learned method acting, but they only visited acting schools payed by their parents, they never had a real live, so they don't have a stock of experiences and usually they care about the money and play characters for weak stories. JFTR even many good stories aren't realistic, they are fictional. However, why doesn't listen Fons and Ralf to Justin Bieber? IMO the difference between operas and a Justin Bieber song is that the opera is made by emotions (and musical know-how, but there is good emotional music, e.g. a lot of Rock'n'Roll made without theoretical musical know-how too). JFTR the Wiki claims that Justin Bieber is also an actor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Bieber . https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Believe_Tour_13,_2012.jpg/431px-Believe_Tour_13,_2012.jpg Taking a look at his filmography, I'm only willing to watch The Simpsons, likely he didn't play the role, I suspect it's a painted character. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
