Singing, allegedly

OK, so I was going to write some long diatribe about this, and I will probably still do that, but take a look at this article first and you will get a quick survey of everything that is wrong with singing today - or at least when people pretend / attempt / struggle to sing today.

When I read the entry on Michael Bolton, it was like, "Amen!" I am not alone.

Choice quote (again, about Bolton): "Who else can take a love song and turn it into a hernia? When a man loves a woman he doesn't do so by screaming in her ear--so why should it be acceptable for a man to sing a sensitive love song as if he's directing traffic for the hearing impaired?"
