I started this in the Music Plus message area, but couldn't crosspost to Poll Suggestions.
TMP link Someone in Authority (ahem) on TMP suggested that I start a Poll Suggestion thread, and that somehow both threads would be consulted in formulating the honest to goodness real Poll. Rules? No stinking rules, but I am personally vehemently opposed to autotune. You don't have to be.
Beautiful voices are all I really care about. They can also be as nutty as a fruitcake as long as they're good singers. So….
