I'm not knocking your oppinion and I believe you when you say the recording sucked.
You don't like that mic? Fine, don't use it.
But I think your not liking it may have reasons beyond the mic itself, at least in that particular case...

I think what gave this mic a bad rep was that it was marketed as an affordable / entry level Neumann.
So it ended up in the hands of a lot of people who didn't know how to sing or record properly, whose other equipment was(and sounded) cheap and terrible, and who were counting on that mic alone to make them sound great.
