The truth. I think the reason i dislike shows like the X Factor and what have you isn't due to their authenticity or whatever but the fact that it seems to be promoting singers who just seem to
bellow half the bloody time. When you think about it doesn't actually sound good at all!
My favourite singer is Tom Waits though so you can take what you want from that.
