A compilation showing the shocking difference in what people of different generations found entertaining when it comes to musical performances. Today it's hard to find a singer who can just stand at a microphone without being half naked or wearing ridiculous costumes, and blow everyone away with their voice, but in previous decades that was the norm. And so in 2014 when someone like Adele comes along, who is a good singer, the media deifies her and over-exaggerates her level of talent because the public has been starved for good singers for well over a decade. As you will see from some of the clips in this compilation, while Adele is a good singer when you compare her to jokes like Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry, she doesn't come close to what the public's expectation of singers was in the 80s and 90s.
