ASOT Tune Of The Year prediction

AvB does not do it for the love, he's fallen for the dough and the glory.

Well..at least that's what I think.

But ok, I won't be a hypocrite, when I first started listening to ah.fm, some of his vocal stuff did catch my ear for a week or so..but after that the non-vocal stuff truly impressed me again..it made trance more personal..
like shah said, he plays what he likes not the people, thats truly what i think also, if they dont like what you play then screw them, there are people that have your same style, armin plays what people think they like, and of course people love vocals and stuff like that, so he gives them what they like, personally he doesnt belong on #1
 
But this happens everywhere, and it doesn't look like it's gonna change. There are monopolies in every industry. For example, iPods are the monopoly in the mp3 player industry, yet there are infinitely better deals and better products with higher quality hardware and more features for lower prices by not-so-big companies..but people insist on gobbling up what is fed to them first, which usually ends up being the food of the richest man.

It really is a shame money is in play even in trance, where it shouldn't be..

armin is number 1 because of his show, wich is not that bad, but there are way better shows that are just monthly or every other week, armin would be low on the list if they were to have a #1 Producitons award.
 
Yes but what about newcomers to trance? Most likely they will hear something from AvB as an intro to it, which is a shame..and some people are not researchers or into digging deep for the golden trance..so they wouldn't know that there is amazing sets and songs to be found..

I'm not saying AvB is a horrible man or anything. I'm just saying people should not only think ARMIN VAN BUUREN when they think trance,..

see there is the problem, since he is the number one dj, they think all he play's is the best, thats why more people think what he plays is the best, wich its not that bad, but still people should not get carried away on the position of the dj's.
 
La Guitarra is not bad..I don't see how it's not trance :p
 
here are some opinions from the most awful ASOT Top 20 of all times.....even the die hard ASOT fanboys were disappointed LOL

There was so many amazing non vocal tracks this year.... Its a shame none are on this list

razy; said:
THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING
NO DANIEL KANDI, SIMON PATTERSON, PAUL MILLER, WTF
WHY IS IT ALL VOCALS :@


Deliano Carl; said:
****ing shit !! too much vocals !!

Fernando Vera; said:
Don't get me wrong, I love trance and I do like vocal trance but I still have a something to propose for next year
ASOVT A STATE OF VOCAL TRANCE
:lmao:

webcluj; said:
I HOPE THAT SHOUTCAST CRASHES BEFORE WE HEAR THE no. 1
THIS IS NOT EVEN MORAL, LEGAL, ETHICAL, MUSICAL, OR FUNNY.


despair; said:
haha this list is complete shit, and of course its not even the good remix of in and out


As no. 1 DJ in the world, Armin made the decision to make his artist album sound very popsy. This decision will affect the perception of trance and its future direction for thousands of fans and it top DJs continue on this trend the true essence of trance will soon be lost...

In and out of Love ? Going Wrong ? Thats not trance... PLZ


Umbrae; said:
Soon we'll have Maddonna in ASOT.

Scoops; said:
terrible. im in shock

maxNRG; said:
Regardless of what you think of each track on its own, this set was HORRIFYING!
An insult to all of us that care to listen to more than just the vocal tracks -_-
**** YOU VOTERS, I HATE YOU ALL


Mersin; said:
No. 1 will be some Accapella vocal trance track :ee

despair; said:
Im going to agree with the negativity for once, this list was bullshit :) Grats to Shah anyways though, Lost really is a stunning track! I'm going to go listen to Tonight is Forever and feel better <3

Sam B; said:
people who disliked the vocal compilation ...time to change ur vote from "sinply amazing" to somewhere else........!!

Trance is not melodic, uplifting, anthem music anymore..its pop trance and britney and alicia keys will voted next year ..lol
not armin's fault tho....
its the voters wrong perception of the real deal of the music...
cheeeeeeerrzzz

Thanx we need to hear some pure trance to get over all this..
Trance wont be the same....:(


R.I.P. TRANCE
 
here are some opinions from the most awful ASOT Top 20 of all times.....even the die hard ASOT fanboys were disappointed LOL
thats how bad it was. did you see my last post. ha ha. i was so mad that i didnt wanna post bad things, i might of gotten banned. lol. meh, i didnt cared for ASOT afterwards. dont like playing around with cheese
 
That just saddens me...It really ruins my day that it'll be harder to find good trance..

But it makes me love Afterhours all the more for keeping it real

thats what i was thinking, it also ruined my day, i was happy that i got to hear it since the begining, and that school, finals, and today being the last day of work of the year, but the pop noobers killed it with their votes:P
 
Oh well i am really tired with the whole subject ! the conclusion is people have to be carefull what they are going to vote and they have toTHINK AS edm Fans and not like ASOT fans or Armin fans etc
 
the entire globe went insane again with this anyway i didnt tuned in to be honest

16 vocal tunes out of 20. really sad.
glad i wasn't tuned. but what's going on really? everyone talk about asot like it's a pop show, and even thought they are still listening to it!! there are way better shows then ASOT. too bad really. but still it's the show witch have the most number of listeners :wall::wall:
 
come on people, keep real trance alive, it's all just pop music these days, the real trance is elsewhere! kinda funny when you look back, armin saying things like -> YouTube - Armin van Buuren funny interview (2004) and now he's doing exactly that himself. he's a money making machine, it's all commercial, he doesn't care about trance any more, he's doing what the masses of people like and that's pop(ular) music. so screw it, asot and armin aren't trance any more (and haven't been for a long time)l, so lets move on!
 
i have nothing against vocal tunes i like ALOT vocals tunes but the one that really supriced is that alot of people this year was talking about the uplifting trances that it was playing in most radios shows and many thought that this year top 20 will be full of them!So what happend really and we had the opposite?does this means that the whole feeling for uplifting trakcs worked exactly the opposite and many went to vote all these vocal songs?or it might means that we are going to have more and more uplifting songs since alot of people as i have seen now complains for the number of vocals in this year top 20 and they are going to vote for uplifting or maybe other genres in the next year voting?

the voting has been always weird such as elections i guess!
 
unfortunately there's quite a lot of people around that think that the asot vocal crap IS uplifting trance...

yes they do and i wonder why!and i am still trying to have a conclusion how this went so messed up!

I believe if asot continues will get worse and worse - at least to someone and i dont want to know if the show ends or goes for a break..

i still miss the old episodes to be honest :(
