Definition for Mash-up: A mash up is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another.
Mash-up is great thing to do, and it sounds awesome. In my opinion, for a good mash-up, you should choose the right songs. Also, have a steady beat that goes with those songs. Some ways you can make a mash-up go horrible, is by choosing songs that don´t have anything in common. Another thing is choosing the right lyrics to pull out form the song, and combine them. It should sound fluently and nice. I think that people that make up mash-ups are real musicians. One reason for that is that no everybody can do a mash-up. It takes time and you need to know a lot of music. Also, they are using an instrument, computers, and even in other, they take real instruments in, like the drums. Mash-ups are great, if you know how to do one.
I agree with you about the making of a good mash-up. Yes, if you choose a song that has nothing in common it won't sound cool. A lot of people can try to make mash-up but the can not sound all good.
