Have you come across an example of The Emperor's New Clothes?

Watching Kimmel, the last act was some band I can’t be bothered to remember nor look up. Normally, I either like or dislike an act, sometimes even unsure and need to hear them again in the future.

This time I thought to myself what the f? The woman lead was barely comprehensible, and played a poor guitar. The song was a slow, painfully slow, almost ridiculously, needlessly slow Reggae beat – and her voice was terribly unsuited for it.

She had three back-up singers and a 10 piece band, including wind section.

Even if she’d written the piece of crap herself, and had the most amazing A. Talented family who played back-up for her B. inherited enough money to finance something like this or C. is the leader of a musical cult – she still should not have been on any kind of Prime Time TV. She sucked.

I just thought to mself: The Emperor’s fucking new clothes.
