Mick would never have qualified for the first round of X-Factor.

Which is not a criticism of Mick but speaks more about the modern day industry.

Janis Joplin, Mick, Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, you name it - would never have qualified for the first round of X-Factor. On the other hand - X Factor, Idols etc, - kinda shows will never, ever never have anything REAL in the show. It´s fake, plastic, radio friendly whimpy square products to kiss and lick the record companies...As a fan of music - those TV shows have nothing to offer.

janis joplin would have impressed them. you can feel her pain when she sings. i think jim morrison would have been ok for a round or 2. even if iggy pop doesn't have the greatest voice ever didn't american idol have him perform live on the show one year?

i was right. more than likely just out of respect they had him on the show:

Yes, that was an unfortunate performance.

I agree. That's one of the best songs on the album hands down, and it is Mick at his best. Doesn't sound forced or as they say on this board, too "nuanced." I always feel like Ronnie had a big hand in writing that song, though I'm not sure why I think that.

No singer at 68 sounds as good as they did when they were 30.

Tell that to Johnny Cash who made his best albums just before he died
or Leonard Cohen who seems to be getting better all the time.

Leonard has gotten lower, I don't know if he's gotten better. His voice did have a slight nasal quality in the 60s which is gone now, so maybe that's an improvement.

Leonard's voice is wonderful these days. It's lost the whiney 60's thing and has become some kind of softspoken alternative preacher sermon thing.

Live he is fantastic.
