Sometimes Singers Make Me Sad
Posted by Kevin Haden in Other People's Music on February 1, 2010
Taylor Swift… Her duet with Stevie Nicks last night at the Grammys reminded me that singing is a bit of a lost art with many of today’s pop stars. I can forgive a mistake or two here and there. The voice is by nature an imperfect instrument. But egregious pitch inaccuracies for nearly an entire performance? Unacceptable. Perhaps I should give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was sick. Maybe there was a problem with her stage monitor. I don’t know… but it hurt my soul a little. What do you think?
