    Well, I guess I have to say that I do not care at all for the music of probably the past 10 years ... at least.

    Perhaps I'm being biased but there just aren't any musicians like the those of the bands that were around when I was a young guy.

    But, I've given up on rock and roll, and have moved on to Ambient and Baroque Music....

    Beyonce is an Obama boot licker anyway. She could sing like Joan Sutherland (and she doesn't) I'd be inclined to call her a terrible singer just the same.

    Then what is singing? Dancing? OF COURSE singing is all about singing, it's all about the voice.

    Others today are performers in addition to singing perhaps. But the singing is still nothing more than singing - and THAT is what Santana is speaking of, and he's correct. Adele can sing like not many before her, she has a GREAT voice. Beyonce isn't bad, not my style, but she relies on the choreography and dancing as much if not more than the singing.

    There aren't a lot of PURE singers left anymore. Even rock n roll which is awesome, even many bands rely on stage antics and less so on their singer actually being able to sing.

    THAT is Music. Today's so-called music is generally, either redone, or changed in tempo. But sadly. THERE IS NO MORE ORIGINAL MUSIC being made where the words can be understood, or the music actually danced to....CHANGE for the sake of CHANGE has ruined society, top to bottom.

    Singing, like all forms of art, is about making a connection.

    Two years later, we are so racially polarized, I doubt Santana would now make such a statement.

    Your focus will improve. Your reality will be true. Deception will be a thing of the past. Hollywood is dead.

    Their lies will make us sick. The end is so near. Brace yourself. Share the love. Share the goodness. Be

    righteous..........

    Maybe two years on Santana has learned that he can compliment someone without talking someone else down.

    I wonder how Santana would feel if SRV said he couldn't play guitar?

    I wish this was true for a lot of people, but human nature seems to just go that way.
    Though the comparison between the two singers kind of makes the compliment “sing”, lol.
