OUCH!

You're right...it's REALLY FUNNY (the non-auto-tuned version).

Kind of think that no one is dumb enough to allow something that bad to be broadcast if it were for real.

I don't think it's funny at all. I think it's sad to think that maybe other radio artists are nothing more than audio photoshop singers too. Sure, the kid is cute, but she'll never be a singer, so why polish up that turd and try to sell her as one? This is what's wrong with show biz. To quote a line from one the the songs in "Miss Saigon" ( just saw it again this week - mmmmm )
"You can sell s**t and get thanx ... that's what I learned from the yanks". Maybe she can dance, maybe she is charming to talk to, maybe she has oodles of other talents, but no one should ever, ever pay to hear her sing. It shouldn't even be allowed.

Hey Guys,

This is not real life as we know it!

Hi Tony,

I think it is...more than you know. And I totally agree with UD. Have you ever heard a live vocal performance of Taylor Swift - the hottest young female country singer in the USA?

She is dreadfully off key in public, but her records are spot on vocally. Her fans don't give a hoot because they can all relate to her lyrics and her cute 16-something attitude. But musical purists roll their eyes and shake their heads at this stuff.

Grrrrr!

Al,

It’s like selling refrigerators to Eskimos.

UD, love that phrase "audio photoshop". Beautifully put. I think people can be taught to sing, but it's not difficult to tell the taught from the naturals. You either got it or you don't.

You're right, Al. I was shocked at how horrible Taylor was live.

That says some pretty sad things about talent ans success today.
