seriously, i am extremely good looking and hung like a horse (lol) (right?, RIGHT?), but i cant hold a tune to save my life. no one is "marketing" my music because i most assuradly do suck as a singer.
to me, lets agree they may not be the most technically gifted, it takes immeasurale talent, charisma and balls to be able to translate medium singing skills into a huge music career.
i think its jealousy to critisize these entertainers.

You aren't saying they suck compared to a mechanical engineer or something. You are comparing them to others in the field of music that you like when you say they suck. Its like saying Luongo sucks. I'm not comparing him to the fat guy who works at McDonald's, i'm saying it relative to the NHL and because of the fact that I don't like him or the team he plays for. Should we spare sports stars the scrutiny of saying they suck too? After all, it takes elite talent to make the NHL. Like I said before..oversensitive. If you like it fine, but I can still say it sucks.
