Breaths in the vocal for an intimate personal feel are certainly a necessity when the voice is the primary element. But, in most contemporary music production, the vocal shares focus with many other things. Ditching the breaths is nothing more than removing an element that doesn't serve the end result, and there's nothing clinical sounding about it at all.

Are we disagreeing here? Not sure from the quote and the emoticon...

Let me put it this way. The statement "No breathing at all is too clinical" seems to imply a lack of experience in many musical genres. While it is understandable coming from someone who does jazz or classical, it has no bearing whatsoever on most pop, hip-hop, rock, metal, etc. production. Removing the breaths does not make the vocals sound too clinical when in context.

Ah. I agree. No one would notice breaths in those contexts.
