Quite!. I've always thought the shooting of Lennon and Morrison's O/D, did the whole world a favour, in regards to us not having to listen to the utter brain pollution that they both thought they were good at. And don't get me started on that depressing **** Cobain, if he hadn't done himself in, i would have done it for him as i was living near him at the time.
Nirvana and Cobain in particular were ****in horseshit. John Lennon was crap and a ****in hypocrite. Working class hero my arse. Imagine no possessions, aye right you are ****in *****.
That turd Ronan Keating is on Australian X Factor. ****er. Some bloke on the show got into him. Said something like " I don't wanna be in no boy band chief." He didn't take it too well.
It isn't hard to point at almost all "singers" these days and say they are sh1te. Practically anything off X-Factor and the like are going to be woeful as they must fit to Cowell's ideal of a commercial product. I'm sure I heard Jedward are worth £14million or some such even though they won feck all. Can't say as I blame them for stretching what little talent they may have to carve out a career as the male version of the Cheeky Girls, they've got more cash than I'll ever see in my lifetime that's for sure. For me I'd have to single out Christine Aguilera as having the worst singing voice. I've worked with singers and have also known a couple of voice coaches so I know she has a technically awful voice and makes up for it with a load of unnecessary vocalisations. It is all in the back of her throat much the same as Anastacia from a few years back. Altough Whitney Houston was a crack fiend I'd say in her heyday she had one of the purest voices going and I'd also have to say when she isn't warbling up and down the scales Mariah Carey knows how to sing properly. Good old Jon Bon Jovi had trouble with his voice a while back and he learned how to project his voice without straining it with the belting shouty style he used to do. It relies on using the tongue and the back of the palete to create the note without the force of pusing air from the diaphragm. As a result he doesn't give it the beans with Living on a Prayer the way he used to back in the 80's. It all has to come from the diaphragm and not by squeezing the vocal chords at the rear of the throat like Aguilera does. I would love to throw my muck down her neck though, she can't sing for toffee but her ring-piece would get beaten like a ginger step-child.
Difference is ER that I've had a classical education and know a thing or two. I'm saying nothing that is technically incorrect especially about wanting to off load my goo into Aguilera's mush. You don't have to agree with me and I would prefer it if you didn't as it adds to my feelings of moral superiority. Fact is there are technically excellent singers but it doesn't mean they have to be "better" than others. Take Madonna as an example, she can barely hold a tune in a bucket but she has to be one of the most iconic performers of her generation. I can't stand George Michael but he has an excellent voice (all that man muck gargle perhaps?). Anyway, it's lunch time. What did Meals on Wheels bring you today? Something soft I hope, wouldn't want you to choke on it.
