Mash-up

A mash-up is a composition created by two or more songs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQJ_SIVUVE&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzvaWD7K1Iw&feature=related. A good mash-up is the one that contains different types of songs (two or more) which can create the mash-up entirely unique and fun. A good mash-up has to contain songs that can be totally different but could make a good mix with them. Also, a good mash-up has to tell kind of like a story through the whole composition. On the other hand, what makes a bad mash-up is : not having at least two songs and those ones being boring. A good mash-up needs to be entertaining and fun ,so it'll be able to be played at events or parties and the people who hear it get satisfied with it.
I found a site that helps me how to improve my mash-up or how to make a mash-up. http://hubpages.com/hub/5-Tips-for-Creating-Mash-Up-Music.
In my opinion mash-up artists are true musicians. They made music from different songs that were created by true musicians and that's why it makes mash-up artists into real musicians. Their music is technically modernized as it was before. Also, they are true musicians because eventhough the songs have the same lyrics , the mash-up artists job is to get all those songs in a different order , get them mixed and finally, created a entirely different song. There were some of mash-up artists that I had been hearing to like, OriginalDjCK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08D9eZ63pQ8&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_7rBBltZ8Y&feature=fvw.
