Got talent??

I was invited to an artist showcase on friday evening and I must say in just a few words there is a war going on out there in the new artist arena!! Dont get me wrong the new artist are not fighting  eachother.. They have formed alliances  to help eachother  reach for the stars. I have seen a few although, that needed to get a clue or find a note and a vocal coach. I dont know what it is about these tone deaf artist  ...  Its either they have a whole lot of friends and groupies supporting their beliefs that they can sing or  they just mistake criticism as negativity "haters trying to stop there shine." Either way you see it their persistance to make it to the top is not to be ignored. It reminds me of the plight of  the now great R Kelly's career when he first came out with the group The public announcement  which was a flop. Then Mr Kelly came out on his own shortly after and got critisized  for sounding like Aaron Hall the lead singer if Guy who got his sound from Charliie Wilson. Nonetheless Mr Kelly puts the R in persistance. New artist could learn something from  this man  minus the sex tape. (which probably sold more copies on the underground market than his albums did in his music career). I wouldnt be surprised.
