Sean Hutchins, director of research for the Royal Conservatory, recently told British newspaper The Guardian that only around 2 percent of the human population doesn't posses the skills needed to determine the right pitch to perform a song.

Learn More »Fox recently announced that "American Idol" won't get another season. Good riddance, I say. The show may have produced a few names with actual talent, but it felt like one of those reality shows where viewers get their jollies watching judges crush people's dreams like grapes in a stomping vat.

"There are some musicians who just go with the voice they have, like Bob Dylan for example, and some who really work at what they've been born with to style it in the way they want." Psychology also plays an important role in performance. Hutchins has found in his research that simply being anxious or believing that they have no musical ability prevents people from improving as a singer or performer. He noted, however, that "trying is the only way you're going to improve the skills you have." It's a shame so many people give up or even have phobias of singing or performing simply because they don't believe they can do it. The simple act of singing, no matter how good you think you are, carries some positive benefits. A 2013 study from Abant Izzet Baysal University in Turkey published in the journal Psychology of Music found that singing in a choir has "a positive impact on psychological indicators of affect and anxiety," according to the abstract. Another study published in 2004 in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that singing or even just listening to choral music has positive physical benefits, such as increased immunity to illness. So now I'm interested to see some studies on how canceling shows like "American Idol" is beneficial to humanity. This could finally lead to that whole world peace thing I keep hearing so much about.
