Pizzas don't scream when you put them in the oven.

Although I know a worse one, that is still terrible taste.

If you were a good singer your song would be good. That's the only way it can work.

When they sing good songs they become good singers when they sing bad songs they become bad singers.

Nope. Sports are sports. Music is music. I like Space Jam so I consider him a good actor, as well.

Hmmm

So I'm not supposed to judge a singer by his song. OK.

But if I don't like your song I don't like your singing. I don't like your singing because it's constructing a bad song. Bad songs are bad that makes your singing bad. Part of avoiding being a bad singer is avoiding bad songs. The American Idol philosophy is for circus acts. Music is an artform. If your paintings suck you're a sucky painter. If your books suck you're a sucky writer. If your music sucks you're a sucky musician. There's no argument.

Who is and isn't a "sucky painter" is still objective. Some people like Cubism, others don't. If you think it's "sucky" it doesn't make it "sucky" for the fan of Cubism, and they more than likely will think Cubism painters are talented, not "sucky."

Sometimes this place goes completely off the rails.

So just because you have the opinion that a song is bad means the singer is also, by default, bad. Dumbest thing I've read in a long time.

I already know what the comeback is going to be about what I'm gonna say next.

Maria Carey has the longest running number 1 song in US chart history. She's sold 200 million albums worldwide. She signed the largest recording contract of all time, $100 million. She's had more #1 hits (18) than any other solo artist ever. She's won 5 Grammys, 19 World Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, and 14 Billboard Music Awards. She's in the Guinness Book of World Records for her vocal range. She has 12 RIAA certified platinum albums and 2 diamond albums.

Point being a whole lotta people worldwide like her songs and have for almost 30 years. So in the grand scheme of things the fact that a few of you folks here think she's a bad singer with bad songs is, and of course your entitled opinion, kinda dumb.
