i've never considered singing a talent. its really not impressive, people just like music.

like you said. you can literally find a random taxi driver, some fatass making no money, who can sing amazingly. if that's true, then how impressive is good singing really?

a real talent is something like standup comedy. something you can have a knack for, but still requires work. no one is BORN with the ability to write perfect jokes, but people have a certain affinity for getting it close to right, then perfecting it.

i hate singers.


*quotes the delirious rant on singing* so good and so true

stevie you know that singing shit dont impress me, if you wanna impress take the wheel for a minute
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

I really hope you're trolling...


I never troll.

also I was a region qualified 1st tenor in chorale so its not like I have no idea what im talking about. singing is just no longer impressive, even higher level singing with proper vowel shapes and round tones takes little effort once uve been blessed with an affinity for singing

i agree with the singing for the most part, although i dont think it takes ZERO still. it still requires some, but just it's still not as impressive as fire jugglers, etc.

i dont think singers should be allowed to participate in these talent shows. they already have american idol or whatever other country idol. let the non-singers have a chance!
