Great point...these kids can't possibly imitate the sound
their pop heroes make through technological means
in an acoustic setting.
An afternoon in a recording studio would open lots of
eyes...the tricks they can manipulate are unbelievable.
I once recorded a children's album and one woman
could not sing in key. They did many tracks and pieced
her together using the best parts from each track and
sometimes doubling the vocals. She sounded much
better in the final mix. The rest of us soon left the
group and formed a new group of people who could
actually sing well acoustically. Our second recording
was a testament to good technique since we did many
of the vocals all on one track with each singer doing
their own harmony or melody and the blend was GREAT.
