Recently, Rav Amnon Yitzchak went to Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman to discuss the problems that he feels have emerged in contemporary Jewish music and the effects of the non-Torah culture on the Jewish music scene and singers.
When Rav Yitzchak mentioned a certain singer, Rav Shteinman responded, "Is he secular?" and Rav Yitzchak responded that no, he is religious and that "there is no house in the religious world that doesn't have his discs."
Rav Shteinman smiled and said, "I don't have his discs."
For most of the video, Rav Shteinman does not respond to various comments of Rav Yitzchak, but listens as the latter shares his various concerns.

Why couldn't this article have been entitled " Rav Amnon Yitzchak against "Jewish" music?" Why write a title that screams "Machlokes!"? The singers just sing what sells. It is the goyish influence on the frum crowd that causes contemporary music to sell. I truly believe that most singers would love to sing music with a more yidishe taam if that's what would sell.
Why couldn't this article be entitled, "Rav Amnon Yitzchak against "Jewish" music"? Do we need a title that screams "Machlokes!"? The reason for the goyish influence on our music is simply that it sells. I believe that most singers would love to sing music with a more yidishe taam if it would sell.
Amnon Yitzchak created the said MACHLOKES, so there's no reason to beat around the bush in the title of the article. He doesn't like it when other elements in the Jewish world become more popular than his witch-hunt-style "yiddishkeit".
Enough said.
