I actually listen to VOTP for pleasure you know! It's all I ever listen to really. But I did say SOME recordings were out of tune. And they are. This could be due to the recording quality, or the singer. And "raw" will always be a compliment.

Ps. To Nathan: I think Bob has made the best point, if that helps you at all! Just sing whatever you want to sing and you'll enjoy it more.
