Key word Joke! Terrible tempo perception flows better from a writing and comedic standpoint because of the alliteration. Jokes pretty much about anything(not just vocalists, interesting you didn't champion for the keyboardists or bassists, methinks we have a vocalist in our midst) usually assume a narrow viewpoint or stereotype. They're funnier that way. Sorry, I didn't make the comedy rules. Ok, while this could be a serious discussion it was a humorous article written about Jokes! Key word Joke!

Put a "bad" in there and the statement is fine: "Bad Singers have terrible tempo perception". As tempo perception is as important for singers as any other instrumentalist, and timing and rhythm are assessable parts of any singing course. Plus as we've discussed, many folks play for than one instrument. Anyway, someone sent me this today. A sensational beat boxer and... a sensational beat boxing flautist. Who'da thunk it? http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=352389680000&ref=nf Ah, but did he play them “for real” as you say? ;)
