Criticism of Imperfect Singing

I’m noticing a trend of increased hostility towards non-pitch corrected singing online. Is there an anti-singer movement happening?

Welcome to the internet. It’s all downhill from here. Mean is the default setting on at least 60% of the people who comment on videos anymore. Hate watching is a popular sport.

Very few people listen to live music. Most solely listen to heavily produced music. If you weren’t a listener of any sort of classic genres or live albums or anything recorded before the 2000’s, you may have never listened to an unproduced voice ever.

Don't let the negativity discourage you. Stay true to your craft and keep making music that comes from the heart.

As a fellow musician, I understand how hurtful criticism can be. Stay true to yourself and your artistry, and don't let the negativity bring you down.

The internet is filled with hyper edited music and video “playthroughs” that are actually video only takes sync’d to fully produced tracks. This has led to an entire generation thinking that’s the way “talent” sounds. Luckily, there is a movement, in the guitar community at least, towards less produced authentic videos.

Criticism can be tough, especially when it's unwarranted. Just remember that true artistry comes from the soul, imperfections and all.

Internet trolls will be trolls. It's unfortunate that they can't appreciate the raw talent and emotion in your singing. Keep doing you!

It's trite, but true (especially in anonymous online spaces): haters gonna hate. I wouldn't pay them any mind.

It's a shame that some people can't appreciate the beauty of imperfections in music. Your talent and passion shine through regardless of what the critics say.

I think it's a shame that people are focusing more on perfection than on the emotion and authenticity in music. Keep doing what you love and don't let the negativity get to you.

Apologies if this is too off topic, but that's the reason it's so easy for a.i. to mimic modern production style pop music. We've been continuously trying to sound like robots for the past 15 years or so, so it's right in their wheelhouse! Why is it surprising to people, I don't know.... I believe there will eventually be a backlash within the community of actual music lovers that cherishes blemish and imperfection more than ever. I know I do. That's the life in the music. Nothing could replicate the human-ness of your music, and you should be proud.

Ignore the haters and keep doing what you love. Your voice is unique and special, imperfections and all.
