What is worse is when new or auditioning singers do it, its clumsy and inexpert and they do it only because they think it is expected. Why sing 1 note when 8 will do?kyser_soze said:It's because they mistake talent, power and vocal control for Mariah Carey. Ululating on really long & high notes isn't necessary at all for a singer with good control, but it's often what people who know dick like to do/hear for 'effect'...
