I didn't linger long after 1.10. My own mother told me as a child that I couldn't carry a tune, and stopped me from ever wanting to sing in public. Until the 1960s. Another reason to be cheerful. I might not be able to sing opera, but a tune is definitely within my range.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Auto tune is for pussies.
ReplyDeleteand for people who can't sing.
DeleteWhat is this world of zero talent that we live in ? I think that Peter could have done with a bit of auto tune as well !!!!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they both had some.
DeleteOMG! I really didn't need to know that video existed. It just goes to show that people with zero talent can still make the big bucks.
ReplyDeleteIt's all part of the modern world of entertainment.
DeleteThis is so bad, that I think there may have been a bit of auto out-of-tune involved by some naughty engineers.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she needed any, she's the real thing!
DeleteHow awful to the ears is that!
ReplyDeleteNow think of all those boy bands, and girl bands; hardly any of them could sing in tune.
DeleteThat was...that was......that was.... Beautiful!
ReplyDeletepleased you enjoyed it John.
DeleteMany people would say I need a bit of auto tune. Grown men have cried when I sing.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a nice choirboy voice.... NO MORE.
DeleteWhat a shame, or perhaps not, the sound didn't work.
ReplyDeleteYou woz robbed.
DeleteNothing you see and hear today is true.
ReplyDeleteI fear you may be right.
DeleteDreadful - preferred the Ultima ad that preceded this !
ReplyDeleteThat's true criticism.
DeleteO dear, that was painful ... Just as well she has so many other 'talents' to keep her in the spotlight!
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe she's also very good at getting married, and does it quite often.

ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
I sing a lot, as I wander about. I've done it all my life. It keeps me happy.
