Welcome in her podcast, The Music Talk Show! Today with Ilyan, Hi! and Stella, Hello guys! We want to discuss about something that occupies a wonderful place in our lives and has an impressive impact on our way of thinking. Music! More mainly on music groups such as girls' bands and boys' bands and the qualities they must have to join a group. We want to show you the truth about the industries who create bands. Let's start with this question. Did you know the intense competition to be selected in a band? Yes, I know. They need to respect a lot of restrictions and to be really serious in the music business. I didn't know that. I'm not well informed in this topic. Like many people, but it's perfect because we're going to talk about it now. To begin with, what do you know about the restrictions that dancers and singers must follow before joining a band? I think they must work so hard every day of the year. Like in the K-pop industry, there are select years before the final audition to join a band. And they aren't sure to be selected? You're right. In general, all people who want to start in music have training and rules. Their students lack it. And if they are accepted in a band, what happens? Great question. They have more rules and they can't do what they want. For example, the band can't smoke, can't drink... Great question. They have more rules... Oh my god, I can't do it. Great question. They have more rules and they... Stop. What? Stop. I understand everything. Great question. They have more rules and they can't do what they want. For example, the band can't smoke, can't drink alcohol, can't have a public love relationship. And most of the time, they can't defend their money. This is sad. Yes, but singers are famous and so rich. I agree, but it's so annoying to be dictated what you can and can't do by someone who just wants to have a little more money. I think there is no great answer to this subject. But we're alright to say they work too much. Yes, of course. And did you know that girls bands like the Spice Girls really have a significant impact on feminists in the world? Yes, I know. They are transmitting messages in their songs which talk about women's rights. And they fight for equality between men and women. I admire that. Some people even say that they would have started the feminist movement that is now immensely popular. They started something big and inspired people that adapted their ideas. That is so cool. This girl band managed to bring everyone together to unite them on important topics in society. It is in these moments that we realize the impact that music in general has. It is in these moments that we realize the impact that music in general has on everyone. Yes, they help us to see other visions and opinions. Yes, being a girl band cost them a lot. Of course, they were all the time judged for anything only because they are women. I have the impression that the public have a lot of power over the band because sometimes the groups only live for the public. So if the public don't like it, the band won't try to do it again. And because of the public that wasn't really open-minded, some really good ideas were thrown in the garbage. Yes, I agree with you. And it's so sad. And I think if the band would try it again, maybe the idea will work a lot more than they expect. And did you know One Direction, the band made in 2010? Surely you know what makes you beautiful. Or drag me down. I love the song what makes you beautiful. I dance on this song on Just Dance. But the group is... I love this... I love the song what makes you beautiful. I dance on this song on Just Dance. But the group is... It's okay, don't worry. I love the song what makes you beautiful. I dance on this song on Just Dance. But the group is... Is it the band that had Zayn Malik and Harry Styles? Yes, I love this song too. I also love how even after the band broke up, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik... Yes, I love this song too. I love this song too. I also love how even after the band broke up, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik also still make music. Even after they aren't in One Direction. The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known individually than when they were in One Direction. Okay, because it's a bit early. The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known individually than... That, that went... That went there, it doesn't make sense. Go, go. Change the thing we don't understand. The best part... Oh. The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known individually than when they were in One Direction. It really does make sense. I'm going to have to repeat so many things. No, no, too many things. Okay, I'll read it. No, no, no, I'll start again. No, no, do it again. You can do it. The best part... It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay. I'm not panicking. The best part is that Harry Styles... I'm starting again. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay. It's not a big deal, you'll just have to cut yourself off like that. Yeah, yeah. Hugo, stop moving, you're like... It's the taste of my toes. The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known... Do you want me to say it? Yes. Okay. The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known individually than when they were in One Direction. Are you sure? It does make sense. Stop it! What's wrong? I'm starting again. No! I was going to say it earlier. No. Okay, go! Shut up! Be quiet! The best part is that Harry Styles and Zayn are so much more well-known individually than when they were in One Direction. It's reassuring to know that even after some bands broke up, the seniors still have a chance in the music world to be in another band... It's reassuring... It's reassuring to know that even after some bands broke up, the seniors still have a chance in the music world to be in another band or to be a singer... You can do it! It's reassuring to know that even after some bands broke up... Wait a minute, I don't want to leave any feedback. It's reassuring to know that even after some bands broke up, the seniors still have a chance in the music world to be in another band or to be a single singer... Yes. Okay, I'm starting again. No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Do singers still have a chance in the music world to be in other bands or to be a single singer? I think Beyoncé was in a girl band. The name was Destiny's Child. But after she broke up with them, she became super well known. Well, I think sometimes we need to let things go to grow and be better at what we're doing. The bands are mostly there to launch the singers to other horizons. Yes, you're right. The bands allow the singer to create a name and have a popularity when they start in business. This is an effective way to be catapulted into the music world without having to start alone. I agree with you. And it helps to have friends that are with you for the beginning of your career. Thank you, William and Stella, to take the time to talk with me about something really important, like the impact of bands, the hardness, competition to join one, and the power of targeting a boy or girl band. It was a pleasure. You're always so kind and funny, Mahboub. Thank you. I learned a lot of things today, so thank you for inviting us in this podcast. Thank you for listening to our opinion and have a good day. We'll see you soon in a new podcast. Bye.
