What has happened to the music industry? Who is the evil machine in creating these fake awards, killing talent, joy and music? Why is this woman with a dead bull voice pretending she can sing? Her acting here as a singer is terrible – notice how she is pretending to hit the notes both high and low. Where are the beautiful voices of 2026? We used to have sweet sultry, powerful voices of Mary J Blige, Toni Braxton, SWV, JADE, En Vogue, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aliyah, , Patti LaBelle, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Mary Wilson, Karyn White, Anita Baker, Regina Belle, Sade, Donna Summer, Roberta Flack, Lauryn Hill and so on that were soothing to our souls…. This woman can't sing and the whole production is a morbid, funeral event not a live performance to be captivated by. Which tycoon corporations are behind destroying the music industry? There are millions of gifted female vocalists who are discarded while these industry plants are being masquraded as singers – do they really think we the public are that dumb not to recognise fake from real talent?
