I agree completely.

Not really a fan either, but her participation in Lady Marmalade rocked
the friggin' Casbah. I don't dig any of the women who sang in that
remake, but for some reason that collaboration did the trick.

It's all about look and the ability to dance these days. Most of them don't
even sing on their own releases or what they do sing is so heavily processed
it bears little resemblance to the original track.

I did some gigs for a well known girl vocal group. I had 5 channels on the
desk. DAT L/R then 3 vocal mics I only switched on between songs so they
could talk to the audience.

I also did some gigs with the Sugababes back when the Scouse girl first
joined them. ALL their vocals were completely live. Very talented bunch.

FWIW, I don't think that was a typical performance for her, and I'll give
her the benefit of doubt. Maybe she couldn't hear herself well, maybe she
had a case of nerves, maybe she was just having a rotten night.

No, she's not the most talented one out there, but she has enough talent
that over time I'll think she'll be able to do well enough even on her worst
nights.
