...How the hell is it a biased opinion? It\'s true. The point of hard rock music is to scream, and have hard beats, NOT to sing. Not that it\'s all screaming, but what singing there is usually does NOT have a good voice. And that\'s not biased. It\'s fact. It\'s pretty hard to have a negative biased opinion about music you like =\\. Well, some of it anyway.

That is, of course, assuming you writer your own songs =\\. Not all of them, or even most of them, do. AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TALENT OF THE VOICE. ...Does anyone know what talent IS? It\'s what you were born with, that\'s what it is. If you had to work at it and originally sucked, then it\'s not talet it\'s... manufactured talent. Or something.

Yeah, NFK. That\'s the point... and not all of them lip sync, and if they do, it DEFINITELY has nothing to do with the type of music they sing, since ALL \"brands\" lip sync while on stage, and ALL have ones that do not. And since nobody knows who\'s who, there is no more or less of it in any genre. And the Backstreet Boys can actually SING. You shouldn\'t be making music if you can\'t sing =\\. That doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t like them. (Except some rap and some hard rock (screaming). Those you aren\'t supposed to sing.)
..And no one said Greeny Day was talentless. It said they diodn\'t have a good voice, at ALL. ...Or at least they\'re not using it. Of course, with some groups, like They Might Be Giants, it\'s better when they don\'t have a real voice. But then They Might Be Giants doesn\'t have many \"good\" songs as it originally thought. Just that
one so far, actually. Of course, They Might Be Giants is SUPPOSED to be that way. Green Day is making actual music.
\"Doesn\'t always work\"
When has it ever worked? Will Young? Where is he? Where is Hearsay?

No actually,
Star Search couldn\'t POSSIBLY be \"just another reality TV show,\" because \"reality TV\" didn\'t even EXIST at that time. And many current celebrites DID get their start on
Star Search, NOT like Kelly Clarkson, or Justin Timberlake who nobody would have ever heard of if it weren\'t for *N Sync or any of those other \"stars\" who make less then the rest of the music groups/bands/singers make in a week and nobody should have ever heard of.
American Idol is really the only one that can go in that catergory with all that \"reality TV\" crap, and that one they did fake where they choose the worse singers, and any other shows spawned off of it (that one with the kids....?), though really
American Idol can\'t even go in the same catergory as the rest of them, since they\'re not making anything or fooling people or being just completely immoral like
Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire?, for instance, all they\'re (
American Idol [is]) doing is taking up useful T.V. time with their worthless airspace and double-T.V.-shows, which, in it\'s book, makes it even worse (Hey!, those people AGREE, and
Fear Factor doesn\'t do anything bad either). (For the record, the double-showing of something so useless that not even the
fans care to see it was what made it worse, not the fact that it wasn\'t bad such as making people marry people.)
