Realistically, I believe those of us that sing and perform nearly every day for a living can be the judges of vocal talent - Hell, it's what we've been doing for a living for decades. I we can't be the judge of good, or bad, vocal talent, then who can? Gary

I think you guys missed the point. We’re not talking about a local talent show. This is a major appearance on a well-viewed, and well-respected by many, NEWS show. It's not enough to just be "pleasant".....as Donny would say, you need to have something unique as compared to being a nicey-nicey average night-club band.
If you feel this fellow deserved that spot on the show, then I think every one of you should send your own demo in and make your own guest appearances on the different networks and give a percentage of your paycheck to Nigel!
My goodness, Don Mason at has worst, when he was pregnant and had daily morning sickness, could outdo this fellow.
Well, if YOU think he’s good, then he’s good! If you think a Ford is better than a Chevrolet, then it is.
Anyhow, I never said this, but I had the good fortune (or the misfortune) to study opera and I took opera lessons for 2-3 years a while back. I also listen to opera often. An opera singer or an opera purist who deals with absolute precise notes that are right on the money, would cringe at the first note this fellow sang (and he WAS off key)!
So, I don’t know if I’m better off now or was I better off BEFORE the opera lessons. My ear has become so acute now in how I hear sound, that I hear differently than most. I’ve had to walk away from some summer park concerts this season, because either the vocalists or the instrumentalists (or both) were so out of tune that it shook my brain loose and caused my ears to turn inward. My friends didn’t even notice!
