Wait a minute. Live performances is what music is all about. Everybody can have a good voice after a serious amount of editing in the studio.
Live songs are crappy by definition? More than 75% of my music collection are live songs. Looks like we have different understandings of music. I want to hear the real "live" voice of a singer, not the one after tons of editing.
Agree, live performance you start to see who really has a great voice, compared to a good voice.
My favorite singer is James Dean Bradfield, lead singer of the Manics, and when I listen to is live stuff it's just wow...up there with the best, along with the lead singer from Muse (Matt Bellamy :shrug. On the other hand I go to some live gigs (last one I remember being really disapointed was the Red Hot Chili Peppers) and I come away thinking , well he was ok...but not that good.
As a rocker (my old man grew me up on The Stones/Beatles/Dylan/The Byrds etc etc) this just cuts deep into me. It just saddens me to see Status Quo downgrade themselves, but thats in IMO only and shows how subjective the subject of bad/good music is.
Heck the old boy would play this to get me too sleep.......some may say that this is the reason the why I am just now
It's ok, I have the whole Good Girl Gone Bad album and have heard various other random tracks. Of course I've barely heard it, but I don't wanna argue, that's my opinion and we don't agree.
Since where on the britney spears stuff, heres a much better version of toxic...with a voice which suits it more than that deep deaht metal voice of doom
and you said xfactor was shit. the only person not to sing live on that show was britney spears. not saying i'm a fan or anything but leona lewis sang a snow patrol song live in the radio1 studio and it sounded like a CD. the foo fighters also sang live in that same studio and again it sounded better than any cd that was played that day. the stereophonics played in their kitchen and that sounded mint.
i smell bullshit lol
