Some of the best songs that artists perform year after year are ones they hated.
I'm a native New Yorker, so I'm edgier; I kind of tell it like it is.
I looked a little pasty. But hey, at least I didn't wet myself!
Songwriters tell the truth.
Look at someone like Ke$ha. I wouldn't say she's got the most rangy, incredible voice, but she's got a thing. She stands for something, and people are buying into that.
I can make the argument that people who don't have the biggest ranges but have very unique voices, even if they may be pitchy at times... with the right record that's really unique and distinct, they can have big hits.
