I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Although it's already been saidI just don't get the appeal of the new so-called R&B.
Look, old school R&B never did a hell of a lot for me either- Diana Ross and that lot just annoy me. But even though it's not to my tastes, I have to give them credit, as back then you had to have some basic raw talent to make it. You had to be able to carry a tune, to be able to project your voice, to have a decent sense of timing, to be able to sing harmonies on key.
But this new shite? You could take Alfalfa from the Little Rascals and make him sound like Barry White. There are enough electronic gizmos out there to take any crap that you put into a microphone and make it on key and on tempo, even if you're slurring like Amy Winehouse and croaking out sounds that don't exist in nature. All you have to have is a toned athletic body and a pretty face, and the studio wizards take care of the rest. They've taken the musical talent out of it in favor of models and technology.

I blame..Melodyne.
It's the application that's used to re-tune vocals, and it's also responsible for that 'Cher' effect which is used in practically every pop/rnb/clubland track.
Do you belieeeeeeeeeeeeeive..
I'm sure you get the idea.
