i think it started with diana ross. she is a weak singer at best. as the critics used to say, she had the perfect am radio voice. nevertheless, she was more appealing than the better singer, mary wilson and she looked good in the clothes. but i could go on forever...

Totally argree with you.
I'm a musician.. a trumpet player. I was a band director (dont fucking laugh) haha of one of the top band programs in the country... Plymouth/Canton Centenial Educational Park, in Plymouth, Michigan. I have a pretty good grasp on talant and can enjoy someone that displays a degree of talant regardless of the style. There are talanted artist in Rap, Rock and all of the styles inbetween and i like most everything... including a Mahlar Symphony or the Brandenberg's now and then.
All I ask is for some of these new groups or solo artist actually take some time to study their craft. Is that to much to ask?
Jessica Simpson is a good artist... she actually has real talant. Ashlee.... well all she has is a name. Sad.
