Ivy speaks about singers who can't sing

Singer Ivy shared an unobstructed word of advice for her hoobaes (juniors) on an episode of her own reality show on M.net IVY BACK that aired on the 16th. Having successfully graduated from Seoul's Dongduk Women's University, Ivy returned to the stage alongside her hoobaes who also aspire to become singers. The performer lent a word of advice to them: "If you can sing, be a singer, but if you can't, don't. If you don't heed my advice, I will punish you." She added, "When I see an aspiring singer who can't sing, I feel like that the person only wants to become a singer to become a celebrity." Even netizens, who are the bane of all Korean celebrities' existence, agreed with Ivy: "Dambi, Ivy is calling for you~~" "Honestly, Ivy sounds good live. I'm neither an anti or a fan, but I think she's right..." "This kind of advice can only be given by a capable person like Ivy herself..." "Gyuri, Goo Hara, Yoona, Jessica, Sandara Park, Seung Ri, Sohee, Taecyeon, Nichkhun, Chansung, Super Junior, Minho, Hyung Joon... are you listening?" In my opinion, Ivy makes a valid point about the artists of this generation. It seems like contemporary Korean music is only built upon concepts and trends that are constantly changing. With the prolific use of autotune that has been all the rage lately, many so-called "singers" have been able to mask their potential vocal skills--or a lack thereof. However, once you abuse the autotune, it is hard to take artists seriously. Even an autotuner isn't a shortcut to a perfect performance. If you can't sing properly, no amount of post-processing will make it sound like you can. At this rate, we may end up watching newborn infants performing on SBS Inkigayo. cr: sondemo But, of course, that is another discussion in itself.
