The Singer Family says these people can't call themselves Singers anymore

Posted by Brett Singer

Miley Cyrus is no longer allowed to call herself a singer. Why do I get to make this decision? Because my name is Brett Singer. SINGER. That's right.The Maverick family has decided that John McCain and Sarah Palin should stop calling themselves "mavericks." Well, if the Mavericks can do it, why can't I? Here are a few people that I, Brett Singer, have decided should no longer be called "singers".

Miley Cyrus: You are, at best, an entertainer. I do not find you entertaining, but clearly billions of others do. Fine. Whatever. No accounting for taste. But a "singer"? I think not.

Celine Dion: Come on. It's possible that she can sing, but if that's the case, she hides it really well.

Paris Hilton: She has a new album coming out. The last one sold about four copies. This time it's tied to a reality TV show. So maybe this one will sell six copies. Even if it goes triple platinum (which would be a sign that the apocalypse is nigh, as if we needed any more evidence), she's still not a singer.

Anyone else you'd like me to add to this list? I'm willing to use the power of my name to protect your ears, and the ears of our children. If we work together, we can make it happen.
