Martin	Very nice Jerry Wexler quote. I don`t mind an obvious vocal tuning phrase left in by a producer, as a vocalist gets themself ready for a track, but I detest the rehersed ones. Aretha just sang the songs the way she felt them. If you have to reherse to sing like an artiste as massive and heart-wrenching as the aforementioned, you are a karaoke singer, and it doesn`t matter how many hits you have either. That IS the genre if you do not believe in yourself and what your body enables you to do naturally.Even naturally "bad" singers can raise emotions in a listener by doing what they do naturally.
JK2006	Time and again I have found that flagrantly artificial attempts at melisma are either a substitute for real fire and passion or a cover-up for not knowing the melody. I have encountered this frequently in the studio and coined the term "oversouling" to bring the offending performer back to reality. Please, learn the song first, and then sing it from the heart.

Colin Collinson	looking at it this way, yes, the public want and build over night stars... longevity... Will Young, Girls Aloud & Liberty X(although where are they? Apparently back in the new year?) Soon to be on Reality TV? Gareth Gates, Darius Danesh*, Michelle McManus, One True Voice, Hear
Martin	I agree and disagree Colin at the same time, with all due respect. We all have to look at where the industry is going, what the public wants, and try and steer it our way, there will be no overnight revoloution.
Colin Collinson	Are you guys mental? Having four guys picked from In The City?! In my honest opinion, i think X Factor is tacky, and the idea of a star over night is so , puke inducing... I think if a band works hard enough, it doesnt need to lower itself as to join the countries biggest talent contest... it could do more damage than good...
