More mediocre singing being accepted as good simply because pop music doesn’t often include singing in tune or projecting the voice. If you can do that at all, you are hailed as brilliant, especially if you’re a socially maladapted dingbat.
Skyler, quit being a poop head! It’s refreshing to see that the Brits will at least allow an eighty year old (or a doughboy mobile phone salesman) anywhere NEAR a stage, less mind ON it, for something as harmless as a national ‘talent’ contest. It’s not the Metropolitan, you know. But it’s ALSO not the United States, where anything but you standard, shrieking, cooing, anorexic twenty something doesn’t make it off the sidewalk. And where we’re looking for “idols” as opposed to just “talent”.
At 80, that was far from mediocre, by the way. She rocked the house, pal.
Too cool. Loved the way the audience went crazy when she said she was 80.
I loved hearing her talk!
Not sure I understood any of it, though…

Eh. Didn’t do anything for me. I couldn’t hear a melody anywhere in her caterwauling. But at least she was close to being in tune.
I didn’t realize there was a geriatric handicap being awarded.
