I am hardly a purist, but I just can't see a person who sings over pre-recorded tracks (Karaoke style), and who plays his instrument (guitar, keyboard, whatever) very little, or not at all, as being anything close to a "power single".

To most people, the words "Power Single" conjures up a vision of an exceptionally accomplished solo musician, not just a singer/entertainer who uses tracks.

Using a few tracks to enhance a performance, is understandable...using nothing but tracks, just smacks of Karaoke, in my opinion.

Of course, as we will see, the meaning of the term "Power Single" can be interpreted many ways, and can even be twisted enough to suit any one's present (or past) situation, but, in my opinion, McRorie comes far closer to it than anyone else I've seen or heard on SZ. You may not like the genre he plays, but there's no denying the cracking musical talent and coordination needed to pull off such an impressive solo act.
