I get the feeling the almost-constant stream of talent and singing shows we have on TV these days has lowered our standards and our expectations.
That’s the only explanation for why some people are talking up Travis Garland, a virtually-unknown singer who appeared on American Idol last night. Is it just me or is he really not very good?
Despite what the title says, I do think this guy can sing. But he’s certainly not all there yet. His voice is all over the place, with the pitch and tone varying wildly between lines. And he doesn’t have a very strong voice either.
In a studio, with all the bells and whistles added to his vocals, Travis Garland will do fine. But live, he isn’t yet up to scratch. Perez Hilton, you’ve failed us again.
