John and Edward (Jedward)
Just watching the twins on X Factor, they get a bit of stick from people who understand what it means to have a good singing voice.
A lot of people have called them "tone deaf" whatever that means, and a lot of people say they dont sing in tune, and that they don't sing with a lot of quality. If they are bad singers, exactly how bad are they ? Are there any musically trained people on this forum who can answer this ? To what degree could they improve with musical training ? To my ears, they sound quite good, I was watching them on sky news, and they sung "Under Pressure". I thought they can definitely sing better than me, or better than the average person on the street. They could hold a note, it was far from unpleasant to my ears. On the show they sing and dance at the same time, surely this is a really difficult thing to do, even for the most talented of people. And please, only answer this question if you are qualified to do so, i.e. you have a good understanding of what is a good singing voice. Last edited by Louisc; 19-11-2009 at 12:35. |

Whether someone has a good singing voice or not is as much a subjective issue as it is an issue of that voice conforming to some sort of rule...the variety of artists across all genres that enjoy success and support from fans when they don't have what is considered a "good" singing voice, would illustrate that the voice(s) alone does not affirm the ability of any voice artist. Tone deafness on the other hand undermines the ability of someone to voice in harmony with other voices, backing tracks or instruments and is glaringly obvious to any listener...no matter how good your voice is is irrelevant if you're not singing in tune... Anyway I am not the qualified person you're looking for to give you a proper reply so I'll bow out.

I've no doubt that there are millions of people in Ireland, in all walks of life, who can 'hold a note'.

Maybe move this to TV? No music to be heard here...
