This basically sums up my thoughts.

I was just gonna start a topic like this. I think that in some songs, the vocals just ruin the whole thing. I have heard tracks with great beats, but the vocals just ruin the whole thing.

and sometimes the music ruins some mighty fine vocals, isn't it great that we can all have opinions

Well in the UK its gotten out of hand.. so i cant really speak to you about the us or other countries.. but i have had enough of "Ian Van Dal" and "scooter"....

Latest, and a horrible one, example of this trend.

Plastic Boy - Live Another Life (Vocal Mix)

It totally ruins the track!

When done well, vocals are amazing, when done badly, they suck.

Same as anything else in music really

Some vocal tracks are good (although I've hardly heard any this year) but some can ruin the track.

I'm talking about proper trance, euro-cheese is a different story altogether.

And then there are some tracks that the instruments ruin the vocals (like it was said)

And then there are tracks where vocals are used to their fullest extent as an enhancement to the track, which can take the track to the next level.

Vocals are much more likely to ruin a song than improve it IMO

Vocals are one of the key components that I love about Trance, I think what you have to be critical about is the cheesy songs that don't seem to have much creation to them. such as Mark Oh aka DJ Sammy aka Scooter who samples everything from past productions of other music, no originality whatsoever along with the other lalalalalala out there. I just ignore those songs, that simple.
