Not really, no. I meant that the quality of the vocals were about as
important as the colour of the jumpsuit. The fact is, he's singing in a
silly way. He's also wearing a jumpsuit. The latter would, I hope, help
you in coming to a judgement about the former. The quality of the singing
is such a minor part of the whole package.
>If the vocals suck, I usually won't bother to investigate any further.
I wouldn't agree, to be honest. And I don't think it's relevant with regard
to the Darkness. It's obviously a reason why you don't like them, but you
don't seem to have the thing in your head that counters this by saying,
"It's a joke; they don't have to be great at singing. It's still funny. In
fact, it's funnier because of the ludicrous falsetto and posturing." We're
just wired up differently. Vivre la difference.
