Sad to say, but that's exactly what's happening right now. This Lilith is looking more and more like a... sellout. There I said it. This is nothing like the first Lilith.
Ke$ha, Rihanna... oh dear.
Who's next? Beyonce & Lady G.? Why not throw in Keyshia Cole and the Pussycat Dolls as well to complete the line-up? Thank goodness there's no way Justin Beiber would make it to the stage or you all gonna put up with tons of screaming pre-pubescent girls!
Okay, okay, I'm not attacking anyone's taste here but honestly, when Lilith came out in the 90s, it's like a big "f**k you" to the music industry. The mere thought of performers like Mariah Carey, the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, and Aaliyah (bless her btw, I do have a soft spot for her) being included in the line-up is unthinkable back then. It is basically a festival for singer-songwriters and in general, artists who defy the hype. And also, it's a platform for lesser-known female artists to bring their material out into the open.
I dunno, the times are changing and maybe the theme of this Lilith is diversity, which is not a bad thing but inviting "big names" like Rihanna is going too far imho. I mean, these people have enough exposure/hype to last them a few more years (until their 15 minutes are over lol), not to mention the fact that they can tour on their own. So why not just give the chance to others who are struggling in this industry?
Can't wait for dates for other cities to be released...
The countdown to acts like Beyonce and Lady Gaga being added starts now...
