I am definitely picky about singers, but I enjoy quite a bit of "real" (lol) singing. The music just has to be good too. Plus I find a lot of the vocals on this record to be forced. Not their voices, actually, their emotions. A lot of it just strikes me as people trying to be sultry by imitating cliches instead of genuinely being sultry. Also it's worth noting that I grew up in a musical household where everyone sang, so maybe I'm just more familiar with and in turn tired of such cliches.
