Not to mention that our national anthem is fucked. “Girt”? Girt?!?

I think part of this issue is that the music consuming public can usually only recognize volume, duration and range as praiseworthy attributes of a singer. All of the many, many other elements that make a good singer are ignored. So when vocalists want to impress a crowd they go loud and long and as low and high as…
