Part of avoiding being a bad singer is avoiding bad songs. The American Idol philosophy is for circus acts. Music is an artform. If your paintings suck you're a sucky painter. If your books suck you're a sucky writer. If your music sucks you're a sucky musician. There's no argument.
I highly doubt if you will give these a listen. I think the music in both songs are incredible (imho), does that make the singers incredibly good?
