How do you do a documentary about the voice as an instrument and leave so many great artist out? Even more importantly, how do you include minority artist so sparingly? The first 20 minutes has only one black artist, Bessie Smith. The next has a sprinkle of Aretha, and Ray Charles but then they feature black artist the most when they talk about AutoTune???? Featuring T-pain and Kanye West. Huh???????
Marvin Gaye did so much for vocals and vocal recording that wasn't mentioned at all except for 1 minute of his duet with Tammy. Al Green was featured in the promo but not the documentary. No Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole, NO WHITNEY HOUSTON or Luther Vandross. But yet they spend extra time on Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga.
It also missed some great opportunities to talk about other greats that are not pop or rock singers. No opera, no gospel, no folk singers. I guess they don't count. I know you can't include everyone, but at minimum feature the best of the best.
