Thread Name: Shirley Collins - can she sing?
Subject: RE: Shirley Collins - can she sing?
This a a subject close to my heart. I do not know the work of Shirley Collins at all but I like this subject of ' feeling and sincerity' that people bring to a song.
Nearly everyone we hear singing is a performer of some kind. Singers sing the same song a number of times. They step up to the mic ( or not as the case may be ) and put on a performance, an act so to speak. We hear the song and are moved by it ( or not ). We probably all have favourite singers who we think have more feeling and sincerity. But is it ?
