Here's a little exercise for to experiment with. Try singing each of the following syllables for about five seconds eah - or choos a random sentence from a book or newspaper. The actual tune isn't important, so try "The boy stood on the burn ing deck pick ing his nose like mad"

I'm sure you'll quickly find that singing through the vowels and accentuating the final syllable makes much more sense. The positive side effect is that people can actually understand what you are singing. I like folk because of its storytelling nature. The performer is often wasting his/her time if their diction isn't reasonable 0r (at a tangent) the guy on the sound desk muddies the whole sound by adding reverb.
