    Why does Roger get that tonedeaf American idiot Jonathan Wilson to sing everything?

    I think the title probably says enough. Why the hell does Roger get that tonedeaf yank Jonathan Wilson - who can't sing at all - to sing all the vocals that he himself doesn't sing, when he has great singers like Jon Carin and Dave Kilminster in his band?
    Carin has proved himself very worthy as a singer, among other things at the In the Flesh tour where he sang a version of Dogs that in my opinion was better than the original album version, as well as on countless tours and concerts with Roger, Gilmour and the Bogus Pink Floyd.
    Kilminster proved his merits as singer on Roger's DSOTM tour. And he was without doubt much better than that yank idiot Jonathan Wilson!
    so why does Roger get that yank idiot Jonathan Wilson - who can't sing at all - to sing all the vocals he doesn't sing himself? I wondered about the same thing back in 2017-18, and I am still wondering about the same thing. I am yet to meet one person who actually likes Wilson's terrible vocals.
    so why does Roger have belief in him? I understand that Roger is a very kind old man who probably doesn't want to tell anybody anything they don't want to hear, but I have also heard that he is a perfectionist who demands a lot from his performers.
    so why can he accept Wilson's terrible vocals? I understand that he might find it difficult to tell Wilson directly the fact that his vocals are terrible and that he can't sing at all - but again, not doing so is an insult against Carin, Kilminster and any person in the band who (unlike Wilson) actually can sing! It's also an insult against us fans who pay a lot of money to see Roger, and - as far as I can see - universally dislike Wilson's absolutely terrible vocals!
    Why doesn't Roger just keep that awful yank away from the microphone?

    Don't poison this irreplaceable site. It doesn't matter where he is from. If you don't like his vocals, then you don't like his vocals...

      It doesn't really matter where he is from. What DOES matter, however, is the fact that he can't sing! And why the hell does he leave the vocals to the one who can't sing, when he has at least two much better singers in his band?

    Why does it matter that Jonathan Wilson is American? Also, I've seen a lot more mixed opinions on his vocals. I like them, FWIW. Although I honestly think the best singer who toured with Roger is actually Robbie Wyckoff from The Wall Tour and Desert Trip.

      Also, Doyle Bramhall II toured with Rog in 1999 & 2000, is American, and was fantastic. And Jon Carin is also American, so I ask again, why does the country of origin matter?

        It's not really the fact that he is a yank that matters - it's the fact that he can't sing. And it bothers me as a huge Roger fan that Roger gets a man who can't sing to sing a lot of songs on two tours that I am going to see.
        Jon Carin and Doyle Bramhall are both yanks, but unlike JW they can sing, and I think both did an amazing job. So I think that you misunderstood my point - the point is not really that he is a yank, the point is that he can't sing, and that Roger has got that yank who can't sing to sing all the parts he himself doesn't sing on his current tour - despite the fact that he's got great singers in his band. I find that as a major annoyance.
