You present this as proof the little whore has talent?!
Even if there is digital "fixing" on her voice, she still doesn't sound all that impressive. Not any better than hundreds of high school Glee-type girls singing in school productions or jamming in front of their bedroom mirrors into a hairbrush.
I mean, really? You think her voice is anything beyond "pleasant"?
It's like I say, it's not a good song to use as an example. She could have knocked it out of the park, but it's too simple of a song to be sure about. That's why you see it as pleasant - it's a pleasant track even in the original version. Someone could take it and really turn it into something interesting, but it would be a departure from the original which is moderate sacrilege when a pop star does it.
Yet you worship hackneyed metal music that any decent guitarist can play in his sleep....and the "singing" sounds like an elephant taking a shit
You're not going for the jugular there.
Whilst I'm not clear which metal "fortress" worships, being into some metal myself, I've seen vocalist after vocalist fall over in a steaming pile of turds, attempting to render live his uber processed, 12 takes spread over as many days physically impossible original version. Metal is possibly the least faithful genre of music when you go see it live for vocalists. There are a lot of metal bands where you go see them and part of your love for them dies, hearing the thin and hoarse renditions of vocals.
Pop music, despite being largely vapid has far far more talent than metal. (It has less soul, of course).
