Not my obligation. Go educate yourself; there's a whole interwebs with access to reputable medical and scientific sources out there at your fingertips; try reducing the volume of your posting and instead increasing the quality.


Here's a hint: try researching whether it's possible to increase lung size, which is the only thing that would increase chest size past the age of maturity (Groban is 31, FYI) other than building muscle mass or adding adipose tissue.

Singers learn to maximize utilization of lung capacity (something that also cannot be increased, but only decreased by disease or underutilized by lack of exercise); the breathing exercises that singers do don't create a barrel chest.

Think of some of the female singers of recent decades with the most powerful voices and vocal range - the late, and always scrawny, Whitney Houston comes to mind.

A fantastic natural lung capacity utilized to the max by years of voice development does NOT a barrel chest create.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Sad news...
Britain's Got Talent winner Pudsey the dog has died, ITV has confirmed.

The border collie, bichon frise and Chinese crested cross won the contest in 2012 with owner Ashleigh Butler.

The pair became famous for their dance routine to the Mission Impossible theme, and were the first dog act to win the competition.

Paying tribute to Pudsey on Friday, Ashleigh described him as a "beautiful boy" who had changed her life.

A post on the Britain's Got Talent Twitter feed said: "We are saddened to hear that today we lost Pudsey, a most marvellous winner. Our thoughts are with Ashleigh."
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

All things must pass. With the power of Dog's grace, Pudsey now awaits Ashleigh at the Rainbow Bridge.
