Those who can do - those who can't criticise.

I get great pleasure listening to anyone with what I consider to be a beautiful voice. It really doesn't matter what they are singing, but when you listen to an almost perfect rendition of what is obviously a difficult song to sing, that speaks to something, I think, in the heart of any true singer. Folk music is my main love but I will admit to liking musicals, classical and pop music. That gives me such a wide range of sound that can make me happy to sing along.

At the FSGW Getaway we have had doowop sessions that I am sure the purists would want to have run out of camp on a rail, but they were FUN. To me, music should be about enjoyment, singing for the sheer joy of the moment and Susan Boyle showed that with every fibre of her being. I'm glad that, at last, she is getting her place in the sun. It's about time.
