Not in the least---someone with a great voice, but chooses to let it grate (see also Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey).

Anything by those god-awful old blues guys, Blind Boy No Talent Lemon Peel, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and other stupidly named can't sing or play for toffee but we've been around so long and we're black and we were one of 87 children and we play da blues man, so that means we're credible type crap.

Beb,Ben,Ben,i'm still chuckling to read that you think michael Bolton is talented,could it be the matching hairdo's between the pair of you?
A coule of years ago a man in England got a life sentence for strangling his wife to death,the reason?she played his godforsaken shite morning and night for months on end and when he finally objected she looked at him and said you're nothing compared to Michael Bolton".
If i was the judge i'd have given him a bloody medal!

I thought you guys would leap at Rolf Harris doing "Stairway to Heaven" but like me you must appreciate the genius of our antipadian uncle.
Good old Rolf but if he ever had the gall to record "Anachy in the UK" I would have to say "Rolf you lovely sylophone playing bearded genius............NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Gareth Gates or Robson and Jerome's version of "Unchained Melody" - I won't waste my breath by saying what I think of them.

I remember seeing Buddy guy, a few years back, and leaving, he was appalling, as was the sound, all hype and no substance, thankfully we had not paid for tickets.............as usual.
