I don't know what you're talking about. I don't prescribe to the theory that in order to disagree with someone you have to minimize their talent. Natalie Maines has a great voice and more music talent than most of us have in our little finger, so you can take me off your list.
I play keyboard and piano, so I DO have a little bit of talent in my little finger, lol....I had to read this about three times..you DO realize what you said, right? Maybe a smiley :) at the end?
Ummmm......that ain't much music talent.
My chickens play a mean piano.....with their beaks.

I do agree with you, and I did try to respect the talent possessed by "Molly" (oops) and Emily. I am very unimpressed with Natalie's voice. Part of the shock which inspired the article is the "injustice" of seeing Natalie made into the superstar while the others' talents rot.
By the way, I didn't think it a necessary part of the article to state so, but I certainly wouldn't want to denigrate the artistic talent of "studio" performers, either... It's just that they are so misused.
I agree with you, except for where you claim natalie has a "great voice". I particularly agree with you that I have more talent in my little finger, than maines has in her entire being.
I actually prefer Stevie Nix over maines any day... and she is not a "great vocalist".
