Does it really matter if it sounds good?
They add distortion to guitars in rock music, they use hand held cameras in movies just to make it a bit off. Same way over produced and pure technicality sounds boring.

Most hardcore vocalists aren't actually vocalists and tend to be so-and-so producers wife / girlfriend / sister... and they're usually shite. Like someone else has said before it's usually post production in hardcore that determines a vocalists talent. It's VERY hard to find a professional vocalist that will sing over hardcore songs because (a) they've never heard of it or (b) it'll give them a bad reputation.
Saying that though, I havn't studied hardcore vocalists too much so I could be generalising here and missing some raw talent, but whatever :P

A lot of MCs can't rap in time and are they still receive awards. So I'm sure if there is an award for MCs there can be a Hardcore award for vocalists in scene:) Will probably never happen though.
Tracks like Slide Away, 24/7, Shooting Star and Your Shining would never have been so popular if it was'nt for the good singers. Not to take any credit awy from the producers also.
Why is'nt there a best vocalist Hardcore award?
