Just having watched the lovely Nina Persson live on Swedish tv..She sang badly, though perhaps she just had a cold. Her girlish vocals sound good on record, I wonder how much she's amplified..or if it's just the rest of the music that's kept low so she can be heard. I liked the last A camp album, but this was just bad singing. Oh well. Elsewhere the Pet shop Boys revelead that a Chris Lowe vocal was made better with autotune. I doubt this comes as a shock to anyone who's heard him sing.

In this case if they can use software to make their voice sound a little better I don't see anything wrong with it (and no I'm not referring to Britney :) ) anna maria stjdrnell wrote: > Hi. > Just having watched the lovely Nina Persson live on Swedish tv..She sang badly, though perhaps she just had a cold.
