"Carly Patterson wants to be a pop singer"

hey, maybe she should try out for American Idol

 

[nuggetr]

Hey! I wish her luck, but I will have to hear her sing before I can say I hope she makes it to the top. There are to many out there now that are there on their name's only. :agree:

 

[R.D.]

It's true that we haven't heard her sing yet, but...if she is looking to Hilary Duff as a role model...(no offence here HD fans)...I dunno...

My implication here is not so much "Hilary can't sing" as "she (Carly) wants to go into POP music!" As if we don't already have enough "teenybopper" music clogging up the radio airwaves... :frown2: :sheesh:

But if it's something she REALLY wants to pursue, I say let her have a go at it. I mean, if J-Lo could do it...

 

[RealtorGal]

Prior to the Olympics, she said she wanted to be an orthodontist. That's quite a change in plans!

 

[R.D.]

Well, maybe she could do both! so if her singing career tanks, she'll have something else to fall back on.

Well I love Hillary Duff and considering that Duff is a former gymnast herself, I think Carly picked the right role model. I think it's so cool that Hillary has the broad shoulders of a gymnast and has such a nice wholesome image. Whil I'm not a Carly fan, I definitely see the similarities in both of these girls.

Ah...one tidbit that I didn't know about. I understand now. Still though...

Britney (a girl who admitted that she had never taken a proper singing lesson...and Realtorgal, you're a vocal coach...you be the judge of Britney's talent), whom I don't think can sing either, but is getting by on OK looks, and OK dancing...was also a former gymnast...as was Sporty Spice.

When I hear Britney, I am really glad I have a remote so I can change the station or mute it.

Never has less talent achieved greater success... with Hillary Duff being a close second place.

 

[BronzeisGolden]

Amen, Realtorgal! Hillary is a pretty girl, but she couldn't sing her way out of a paper bag. The same goes for Britney and the hordes of talentless teen queens that elbowed their way in through the door behind her. I can stand some cheese or even some eccentric behavior.....as long as someone can actually sing!

Personally, I would not sing out of a paper bag...I would just rip the paper

And I would not be caught dead listening to Hillary Duff.

Realtorgal...what is your impession of Christina Aguillera's (or however you spell it) VOICE? Not her appearance, actions, or videos...just her voice. And if you don't like her, then whom do you consider a talented vocalist? Just curious. I really would have to rip the paper bag to get out of it because I cannot carry a tune in a bucket. But hey, who cares, I know how to skate!

 

[BronzeisGolden]

LOL, I'd have to tear my way out of the bag with you, Glacier. I am a horrible singer. I'd be interested to know what RealtorGal thinks of Christina Aguiliera, too. I've always thought she had a powerful voice and some actual talent...but I think it is sad she had to go through that unfortunate "pole dancing tramp" stage. Is she done with that yet? I haven't seen her or listened to any of her music since last year.

 

[Glacierskater]

Actually, I was on my soap box in the kitchen the other day preaching to the fiancee about Brittany's poor choices and how I hope that Christina is getting her act together and that she is not fun to look at, but she has talent. I have seen pics and read that she is getting is together. Apparently her beau of late does not take to her trampy looks and she is cleaning up nicely....almost in a 1940's glam sort of way. RG...your thoughts on the voice please.

 

[RealtorGal]

Christina actually has a lot of talent. The voice is powerful, flexible--it's the real deal. Britney and Hillary probably have 5% of Christina's natural vocal talent. Combined.

She acts and dresses like a hoochie/ho. Too bad.

Carly Patterson is good at gymnastics, and she is only 16, why don't keep train and compete four more years? There are so many young pop singers out there, they can sing, dance, and acting, mostly they have the outstanding chrisma. I feel Carly can sing, but she does not have the power to grab the audience attention when she sings. Tara went into acting, and so far she hasn't landed any magor role yet. Hopefully Carly wouldn't repeat it.

 

[Lotta]

Carly should go to hip hop music instead.

 

[MinnMan]

I may be old, but I am slow.

I have lost it. I am trying to remember who Carly is.

Where did she skate???????????????????????/

Not a skater, but a gymnast. She won the all-round gold medal at the 2004 summer games.
