The playlist is littered with non-amazing vocals

Not that I’m being elitist and snooty. Speaking purely objectively: there are songs with okay vocals, but certainly not amazing
There aren't that many rock/pop songs with truly amazing vocals, that's more for genres like opera or classical which aren't popular genres here.

I'll probably just vote for the songs I like best anyway like I usually do rather than the songs which have the best vocal performances.

Dahhh I cooked it real bad. Been sitting on a proper ace number for ages and it would have flown beautifully in here but I didn't think of it.
What I have actually submitted is worthwhile though.

About to listen, hope it's a sizzla!

Enter it in the next round #Theme Couldashouldawoulda

If you give my song 5 that is, and at least 5 others

About to listen now too. I will be basing my votes on number of goosebumps received.
I've clocked three so far. Thought there was a fourth but it was a piece of quinoa.

Sure thing too easy.

It's a subjective theme. For instance I understand that sustained melismatic undulation (where a singer turns one syllable into twenty - synonymous with your Whitney Houstons and Mariah Careys) is supposed to showcase their amazing vocal range and be impressive on a technical level, I personally find it grating.

Yeah, that ****en shits me too. Even worse when they stick their hand out and move it up and down accordingly to the notes they're singing as though they're using sign language to explain what they're doing to deaf people.

I posted this earlier in the thread but it's so fitting:

I agree. I know it's a theme idea I gave MEB but would have been better as an earlier theme. It's one of those themes where you need to whore it up.
