There's nothing wrong with a bit of frothy water old chap. Clichés are
clichés, I agree, but as long as there is something different there's
art in it. I'm no singer, but I understand that vibrato on the long
notes is considered a cliché among the cognoscenti but that does not
stop an audience enjoying the skill and the aesthetics of the
performance.
Now, this is nothing to do with the fact that I might (or might not)
have spent some spare time on my recent holiday by the sea fixing ND
filters and polarisers to a lens to induce a long exposure ... ;-)
