I can appreciate talent, and I can appreciate young singers with vocal talent whose voices have not yet fully matured. What I cannot respect under any circumstance is overproduction in the vocal department.
Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' has been one of the greatest, chart-topping songs this year alone. With previous songs such as 'Seven Things' and 'Fly on the Wall,' it was surprising to hear an inspirational piece on such a scope come from Miley, whom I never expected to attempt such a theme. But, despite the lyrics, and despite how well done the song might by done musically, it fails vocally, if only because it is overproduced. Compared to the studio, the live version is filled with so much nasal singing that it makes it almost unbearable to listen to.
Miley Cyrus, while an ambitious young woman, is no one to be admired musically. There are many more talented singers out there that deserve to have a record deal comparable to Cyrus'. Sadly, though, many of them will never get that chance because they don't fit the mold the music industry is trying to fill with vocally-untalented Disney Stars who will appeal to teens and preteens.
'The Climb' is beautiful--lyrically, not vocally.Get more detail about The Climb.
