[...] professional sports cheerleader of all time. Before she sold more than 50 million albums despite being not much of a singer, and sat as the mumbling and perpetually drunk/stoned judge of American Idol for eight seasons, she [...]

it amazes me how these so called “artists’ get ahead in the music biz.
As a professional musician and recording engineer for over 20 years I never grasp the insanity as some of these chimps march into the recording studio, (straight from the rain forrest, ordering a Gin Tonic) believing they are God’s gift to us earthlings.

There is quarter tonality in many advanced 20th century orchestral compositions as well as Indain music.
These are time proven standards to our ears
BUT: 99.997 of singers / song writers can’t sing a phrase that is in any of the tempered 12 keys known to western music.
The songs they have ‘written’ (LOL) can’t even be interpreted by cutting edge correction software such as Autotune, Melodyne, myself or schools of other ‘relevant’ human ears splashing around the mixing console.
Gobs of half ass rubbish falls from these mouths; they make my skin crawl. None of them ’stars’ ever took lessons, bothered to practice, pick up an instrument etc. They believe a 3rd grade lovey dovey rhyme will make them a superstar as the technicians waive their magic wands.
Unfortunately in cases such as Maidonna, Jay-Low, and Kinky West this went Yo Yo Shizzle Be-dizzle Jumbo Jump Oooh Yeah, pretty darn well. (with many ‘Thongs’ to boot)
– the consumer is the dumbest sucker, sorry to say.
I spend countless hours at the DAW picking vowels, samples and and snippets from one hundred lousy takes just to create one verse, (yet still sounds like shit)The process is followed by tons of manual pitch correction just so that correction softeare can identify which note to support for this wicked next so-called ‘radio ‘hit’. Think of a vision impaired patient who requires contacts just to see hi”s glasses.
It makes me sick that this industry sells on sub par shit like this. – Did Miles Davis, Janis Joplin, John Williams or David Bowie just get out of bed every day, head over to the the recording plant and recon that they are gonna record music without any talent, technique or sacrifice whatsoever?
Every dude in the band had to practice (even da drummer), take lessons, read books and work on his/her chops for years
-but not the LEAD SINGER / ‘ARTIST’ !
The most important element of a Pop/Rock track is dependent on the person who doesn’t even recognize “do-re-mi’ when played to him/her on the piano.
I love it when Autotune goes bonkers (ala Cher) as I play the track back soloed to the ‘Artist’. I laugh even more when they come back the next day: “hey! that doesn;t sound like me! What the hell did you do to my precious vocals?” or: “wow I really kick ass, I am the ‘Chairman’ Sinatra!”

the miley cyrus one makes sense, but britney, avril, janet, and madonna are the best singers ever! don’t write about music if you’re deaf.

THIS PERSON WHO WROTE THIS ARTICAL HAS A PROBLEM!
Avril NEVER EVER EVER CLAMED TO BE PUNK!
Some person out there just gave her a nickname ‘punk princess” and it started spreading!
and she can sing fine! listen to keep holding on….
more than half of these singers can sing really good
and there is a reason why they got multi platinum!

Oops, I meant to type “live” performances…though come to think of it, the sentence seems to worth either way.

Hilarious, obviously 4 posts from one person defending the same mediocre teen pop trash singers. How deluded. These names are pretty much notorious for their poor life performances. It’s a joke to try to argue.

“Can’t really sing” is rather an exaggeration for most of these people.

I’d agree that Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Paula Abdul aren’t really singers at all and show very little, if any, vocal range in their records.

The others are basically try hard but have limited vocal abilities.

In the case of Madonna, she has at least tried to expand her range (Evita may have been a flop but she at least took the risk, and I thought she did a respectable job), although with age her range has naturally diminished.
