John Lennon was a genius. Genius writer, musically inclined, and an amazing artist. now-a-days, unless you belt out a song and scream, with loads of verbrato or scales, have great back up singers and a great synthesizer, you're not considered a good singer.
I'd listen to John Lennon any day over some of the artists out there today.
"I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically—any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon
Another White Guy with a Guitar. Send him to "American Idol." /sarcasm
@crila - right on. Even Frank Sinatra wouldn't have done well on "The Voice" - and his nickname was The Voice! He was too subtle. Today's reality show singers just showboat their way through a song with no feeling.
If only this poor fellow had been selected for Team Usher he could've gotten an updated hairstyle, some jazzy new threads, and added some modern dance moves to his performance. Then maybe he could've had a lasting career like Bieber or Chris Brown.
(I'm kidding - any room for another roller left in that grave of yours, timebob?)
I'm going to dig a grave, and roll in it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously this is wrong on all levels.
also, Grammy winning singer Colbie Caillat said she auditioned for American Idol and never made it past the first round to get to the Judges.
ReplyDeleteNow the contestants use her songs to audition for the Judges.
This hurts. My heart rate has been momentarily elevated.

John was an asshole that beat women. Love that song though.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree Lissa. He was a musician not the savior of humankind. He didn't solve world peace or cure cancer. Get a grip people.
ReplyDeleteHe was human! And, yes, I say the same about Chris Brown. God, this site is overrun by assholes...back to lurking.
