harrypottermegan Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It wasn't too bad to start off with (not saying it was good, but not as bad as I expected) but from 1:12 with the scream and then the whole going up an octave bit at the end totally made it totally unbearable.

Namey Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 When you're the original, you can argue that that's how it's meant to be done. this sort of thing doesn't work if you take yourself too seriously. Matt knows how to laugh at himself. I don't think Mr. Durbin gets the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Singing an octave higher was definitely horrible advice! I hope Matt was joking. Or maybe he was trying to sabotage the guy to look good in comparison? Haha! That was what I thought! Wtf Matt! Oh my ears! The rest of it was okay, a bit karoke. The drummers!

Tofu Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 did you guys happen to come across the official Uprising video on youtube?

He also have the pipes for it. seriously wtf. DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE EARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrieB Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 This is what passes for a good performance on Idol these days? Good god. That's the annoying thing about it. I wouldn't mind it so much if there was some honesty there! And the singers were actually something special! But Jeez. How could the judges like that?! I don't watch it, but from the bits I've seen of it, it's total parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Didn't Lambert do "Starlight" once during his season? Nope. The comparisons to Adam Lamber btw are hilarious. Adam Lambert is one of the most brilliant singers around today when it comes to the facts(technique, I don't give a fuck if you don't like him personally), while James is off-pitch, nasal and completely dull unless he's in the higher register, which he can't control that well either, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is good. It's not the one I saw though. There's another, more rocky version, if I remember, which is terrible. I can't be bothered to look for it now though. Oh and I'm comparing Will to Adam. I prefer Will Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That version was only shown in shit quality, but yeah, it wasn't great Oh, well as I said, I'm only talking about technique, in which Adam Lambert beats pretty much everyone around today, and he ranks really high even compared to the big ones like Buckley(both) and Freddie Mercury. Just listened to Will Young, and oh my god I found his timbre annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girl of Cydonia Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The guy sang well except when he went to those high notes but other than that it wasn't horrible like you all make it seem. Why are you all so mean? You shouldn't make fun of someone who has disablities. It's not right and very rude to make those comments. I don't think Matthew Bellamy would be proud of his fans with these comments. James Durbin has talent. He's a good singer. He has his own style. Some people like it and others dont. I don't know why they even compare him to boring Adam Lambert. Lambert shouldn't even be given songs of Muse to sing at his shows. What a disgrace. What is great about this is that Muse was played tonight on Idol. You got to admit that was pretty damn cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleasure Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Why are you all so mean? You shouldn't make fun of someone who has disablities.

What is great about this is that Muse was played tonight on Idol. You got to admit that was pretty damn cool! Oh my god, are you for real? Okay, lets start with the singing. he was pretty off-pitch during the whole thing, and personally I find his voice incredibly dull. We are "mean" because he made a shit performance, no one gives a shit about his disability. I guess that you are homophobic just because you don't like Adam Lambert? Hurray, Muse was played on the most commercial pop show in the US, WOHOOO And please, the standard font and font size works perfectly, no need to be unique with a font that is barely readable.

Say what you will about Simon Cowell being a douche and all that, but at least he was honest with the people who couldn't sing (I always got a chuckle when people booed him for telling the truth).
