i'm aware everybody's singing gets hated on. and since you understand this i don't get why you come down so hard on christina and now jermaine paul. you need to realize even though they scream there's something about screaming mixed with good tone that makes many people like/love them. i know one can be popular without being a great vocalist. i remember 'james brown' screamed like a cat in a trash compactor and his career spanned at least 5 decades or more ( i loved him).

so you gotta know that with all your technical skills as a "vocalist", there'll be a measure (maybe even a large measure) of the public that will prefer jermaine's voice over yours.

the only contestant on 'the voice' i thought was flawless was juliet even with her growling and screaming. chris' voice was somewhat flat and failed to soar at times. i liked tony but i definitely don't feel he sounded a single note better than jermaine.

mbd, if you cut everyone in the music with a not so great technique but are still considered great singers it would be a pretty vacant industry (i'm not talking about the britneys and the rhiannas...though i do like their studio voices and rihanna's live voice has much improved).

out of curiosity give me a list of who lives up to your voice standards. as you know i'm not a muscial expert but i bet i'll think a couple of them even with their techniques are nothing special.
