STOP SINGING LIKE THAT: We all have little innocuous things that, for some inexplicable reason, just drive us nuts. Don't we? Okay, I do. And one of 'em seems to be gaining in popularity of late: It's that flugeling motion singers make with their fingers wrapped around the microphone, like they're playing a run on the trumpet. Man does that chap my butt when I see it. I can't like a singer who does that. I'm also no fan of syllable adding, like when a singer takes a word like "you" and makes it into "yew-eww-uh-ooo-woo-hoo-uh" or some variation thereof. Or when they turn "and the land of the free" into "and the la-hand, uh-wuh-uh-huh-uh-huv...thuh fuh-ree-hee-ee-ee-eeyee-hee!"
