Why can't British people sing?

Have you ever noticed that British people really can't sing?
Every time I see a TV show where the theme is sung (mostly kid shows like "Angelina Ballerina" or "Mia and Me"), or even when I hear British cast recordings of musicals, the allegedly "good/professional" voices are so weak. I mean, listening to an Andrew Lloyd Weber "best of" compilation, there aren't any decent British voices, except maybe Sara Brightman. I suppose Susan Boyle has a decent voice, but she's not phenomenal. See also: every Spice Girl. Singer-songwriters get a pass because they are talented in other ways, but the British seriously have pedestrian voices. |

| The fact that you're basing your opinion off of stuff like the theme song to "Angelina Ballerina" tells us everything we need to know about this thread. |

Annie Lennox can sing, as can every other singer to come out of the UK including the opera stars.
OP you're basically just a massive idiot. |

WTF, op?
Given the small size of their country and population, the Brits have an outsized influence on global pop music. I'd also add Robert Plant to the list in here. Absolutely incredible vocalist. |

Great songwriters, great performers, not great singers. |
