Subway could sing, breh
I swear I recall reading something crazy about how great singers aren't completely wanted nowadays in mainstream b/c the fans can't sing like them in their car when they're singing along. And so the lesser talented(studio made) singers are preferred b/c they can be more easily mimicked.
I know I didnt just make that up.
And if you think about it, all these shows like The Voice, X-Factor, Idol,etc...these ppl can really sing once they get down the finalist, but yet despite their talent, very few of them blow up afterwards.
