the issue of sound is really REALLY fundamental i think

does anyone apart from themetune composers actually give any thought to how what they're doin sounds on a TV? (ok yes soundtrack composers but cf WHO for the level of thinking applied, which is NOT VERY MUCH)

This is why miming was generally the best option.

And why even the hoariest of fifty-quid men remembers the CLOTHES and LOOKS and impression of general COOLNESS when they think of "legendary pop TV moments" rather than remembering the magnificent interpretation of a song.
