When you go to a concert you go to hear music of course, but you go for the experience more than anything. There’s that rush of seeing one of your favorite bands in person, but it’s a total let down when after hours and days of listening to their CD and becoming so passionate about songs that you cry and commiserate along with the lyrics; the singer opens their mouth and not only does it sound nothing like the CD, but it's almost painful to listen to.
If you're a music lover like us, it's completely heartbreaking. Welcome to the miracle, or disaster, of music technology. Today's music is all about enhancement. Whether enhancing an already gifted singer or enhancing a seriously untalented wanna-be. For example, a new teen star, whose concert tickets many pre-teens are spending there hard earned allowances on. Who also ironically won the Country Music Award for Entertainer of the Year, but falls short of the ideal when singing live.
This raises the question of whether building the ticket buying fan base through radio play and CD tracks that have been edited and voiced is ethical. Regardless of the intention, when an idol actually lacks the qualities we admire, the effect is always the same: Fan devastation!
