I just wanna' 'hear the words', OK! I really don't mind what sort of a voice the singer uses, although what happens if these 'quiet breathy' singers has to perform a set in a club with no mics?
Too many times I listen to a recording and the backing to the song is so out of sympathy with the voice that the singer may as well be singing 'la la la la'. I don't care if it's a 'folk' song or any other genre,if I can't hear the words, what's the point. Yes, I know mouth music is different.
