We were watching a local “American Idol” clone show tonight, and I had to turn it off. All those glissandos and trills make my ears hurt; it’s not so much singing as vocal acrobatics. God forbid these would-be superstars understand the concept “Less is more.”

(Worst flatting problem ever: Madonna in “Evita.” Poor Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and I NEVER thought I’d be saying that!)
