Music to Someone's Ears....

Is anyone else paying attention to the voices of the youngsters on shows, like  "The Voice", "X Factor", or "American Idol"?  I'm talking, 12, 14, 16 year olds!  Where are they coming from?  
The way they handle a song is way, way beyond their years.  I am always amazed when I hear that kind of talent.

It's a far cry from when my sister and I would stand on our basement steps, singing "Johnny Angel", using hairbrushes as microphones.  Sorry to out you, sister, but we were AWFUL!  We would have heard "you were pitchy" all over the place back then. We would've been told to keep our day jobs by one of the meaner judges of those shows.  But you know what?  It wouldn't have silenced us!

To this day, music lightens my mood and singing along to an oldie is sometimes just what I need.  My voice is thinner now -they say as we age, that happens -  (and might I add, that's the ONLY thing that has thinned as I've aged!) but I can still sing in the car or the shower with the best of 'em!

I'll never be on a singing talent show...I've resigned myself to the fact that THAT ship has sailed...  Hmmm...maybe "Dancing With The Stars" will call?
