As a child of the 70's I went to see Debbie Harry last year to rekindle my love.
She can no longer sing live.
Just awful.
Marc Almond's a better female singer than she is. (Saw him, too)

There USED to be girls who could sing, folk, folk rock and rock:
Sandy Denny, Celia Humphris, Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins), Sonja Krystina, Debby Harry, Jacquie McShee, Judy Collins, Judith Durham, Grace Slick.
None of them needed double tracking, and they could do it live too.

Is ANYONE else but me sick and tired of listening to some little biatch with the voice of a 12 year old, and the enunciation of a southern *****, being double, triple, quadruple tracked to a beat in order to give her some sort of a voice? Complete with fully electronic backing track played, it would seem, on a Rolf Harris stylophone.
Jeeeeesus!
Note to so-called pop gurus: when these little biatches are on radio, ie: we can't see how sexy they (maybe) are, it FAILS!!!!!!
Whatever happened to girls who could SING, Debbie Harry being one?
The present offering is lame, boring and bland. Get it gone, PLEASE! Does ANYONE actually BUY these tracks?
(alcazar: just tuned into Hallam to eat my tea, my wife having American Pap TV on AGAIN, and was bombarded with Kelly Clarkson, (is it Jeremy's girl? If so I now hate him 100% more!), someone just called "Cheryl" and Pink.)
Bland, bland, bland, boring, boring, boring and TALENTLESS!!!!!!!!

I totally agree Al and I've still relatively young 
I have didn't even connect up the aerial to my radio in the car as I have no reason to listen to the radio as it's all rubbish these days. Now if I had DAB that would be a different story.

What is your interpretation of "singing" though? If you mean note-perfect live then most, not even those in the past that you mentioned, can do that.
And what is talent? I'd rather have a not so great singer singing a song they'd wrote than a gormless model singing in tune someone else's rehashed trash.
Stay with it until 2:20 *In high heels as well*
I'm no Pink fan but have to bow to that....

You want dreadful lyrics? Who remembers Des'ree's 'gem' in Life:-
# ...I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast... #
Seriously, WTF.
It's beyond comical.

Eva Cassidy is overrated 
Nobody can say this isn't talent, on a huge scale
And this was an outstanding performance;

Tulisa really bugs me. Talentless and plain, but made out to be some kind of megastar. I think Cowell saw how big Cheryl Cole got and thought he could do the same with any girl.

I like some Blondie tracks but damn that sounded like a cat being strangled.

Plenty of great female artists, just don't expect the mainstream media to give them a minute of airtime.
Sarah McLachlan
Heather Nova
Alison Kraus
Beth Hart
KT Tunstall
Tori Amos
Kate Rusby
Michelle Shocked
Loreena McKennett
Paula Cole
etc etc

Pink has talent, she's great live.
I like lana del rey too.
When in the mood for some cheesy pop music i like britney, avril lavigne, girls aloud, rhianna but I can appreciate the different between someone singing along to some meaningless words put together for them, and someone who composes, writes and records their own music. The latter is talent, and seems to get massively overlooked.

I understand that being popular doesn't always equate to having talent, but neither does the fact that someone is not to your personal taste means they are talentless
