Everyone's voice is unique and most of the time we should celebrate their differences. (After all, how dull would this world be if we all sounded alike? It would be like living a nonstop dinner conversation from The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps.) But the price of aural uniformity actually starts to look pretty doable when played alongside some in the music industry who insist on being called "singers," despite every scrap of available evidence proving that term to be an incredible stretch. A lot of times we're able to overlook some vocal shortcomings, so long as the music produced around those deficiencies is enjoyable enough. But remember folks, there's a difference between making good music and being a good singer. And it's time we throw down the gauntlet on the voices that have been grinding our eardrums to pieces for far too long. Because let's face it, there are plenty of bad vocalists out there. Some are bad in a quirky way, while others are just outright terrible, with little to no redeeming qualities. And I'm not saying those people should be shunned, but maybe they could be shushed?
