Seaking Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It sounds more epic that way. Can the real Sippe come back. Please. It kind of worked on Bohemian Rhapsody but it butchered We Will Rock You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Honey, we are just realists. Has nothing to do with whether or not I'm a "realist". I just wasn't expecting everyone to think it sucked so bad, mimed or not. It's not like they had a choice. But oh well, this IS the Muse board after all. And don't call me honey!

EXOPOLITICIAN Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I left after the board went down, whats the general consensus so I can be annoyed with you all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitton Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It's even funnier when you're a musician. The fact i said i wasn't sure if they mimed or not because the guitar sounded different.. Honestly, i have no idea why you ridicule people for a different opinion or making a mistake. There's no need in the slightest to be a cunt about it.

sade Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Exactly. "omg One Direction are soooo bad ugh I hate them" Fuck off they did nothing wrong with their performance. I thought One Directiona and Take That had one of the most solid performances of the night, which comes from having good (lead) singers and having that group harmony thing going for you. It's a different question whether that type of music is particularly interesting, but I thought both did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyroma Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If anything it's one of the most vocally dynamic songs Muse have done in a long time. Not to mention that the song covers more range than every Muse album put together aside from The Resistance. It may cover more range, but the majority of the song is just the same 2-3 notes. I know nothing of singing, but I can't imagine it's easy to go from 30 seconds of the same note to a high falsetto. Fair point on the range, but I'd disagree with the dynamism.

Seaking Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 And don't call me honey! I'm sorry. I just want one day to be cool enough to pull that off. Not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Can the real Sippe come back. Please. It kind of worked on Bohemian Rhapsody but it butchered We Will Rock You. I thought it sounded quite bad on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different question whether that type of music is particularly interesting, but I thought both did a good job. So 1D actually sang did they? Sounded identical to the record to me. All 1D did was a bit of generic contemporary dance which they probably didn't even choreograph, and pretend to sing a song they didn't write.

I know nothing of singing, but I can't imagine it's easy to go from 30 seconds of the same note to a high falsetto. Fair point on the range, but I'd disagree with the dynamism. First part is generally low for his range, then breaks out into practically the top of his chest range, then it's a bit of a climb up until the big riff. Then the final note which is the same one from Showbiz and Micro Cuts aka highest note hit in studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I thought it sounded quite bad on both. It only slightly worked on Bo Rhap because of the time between the vocals. There was barely any overlap. That being said it wasn't needed. On WWRY it was retarded though. More delay than a fucking U2 concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitton Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 1D had a vocal backing track as well as an instrumental backing track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 1D had a vocal backing track as well as an instrumental backing track. Yeah, how anyone can say they 'performed' is beyond me. They did fuck all. And for the record, I'm not saying Muse did much either, but at least Matt has balls and a decent vocal range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand, are you saying that the song is hard because it lacks dynamics? If anything, dynamics makes it harder. A song like Stockholm Syndrome is hard to sing simply because of the fast changes between chest and falsetto. And the verses of Survival aren't lacking dynamics much more than any other Muse song. The first verse alone covers an octave(two octaves with the high note) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_ Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 1D are your typical shitey pop band. Nothing against them personally, but the stuff they come out with is terrible, to me anyway Has nothing to do with whether or not I'm a "realist". I just wasn't expecting everyone to think it sucked so bad, mimed or not. It's not like they had a choice. But oh well, this IS the Muse board after all. And don't call me honey!

At least Matt sung without a vocal backing track. 1D sing to a backing track every show they do, and its louder than them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahG123 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Things I loved about the performance: Matt's piano Marts suit Matts hair The fact that Matt 'played' the piano and the guitar The transition The fact that Matt hit that damn note Doms arms Chris union jack bass Chris head banging Doms tshirt Matts tshirt Doms legs Doms smile Dom Chris bad assery How much they clearly enjoyed it How much enthusiasm they put into it Did I mention Dom?

This basically automatically renders their performance lower than anyone who actually sang/played anything on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 1D did was a bit of generic contemporary dance which they probably didn't even choreograph, and pretend to sing a song they didn't write. I have no idea what the record sounds like as I've never heard a single 1D song, but weren't they formed as the result of making it to the top at a SINGING contest? Why would it be beyond their talents to sing a song live? Again, it's commercial pop music. To have some "against in principle" attitude about it is ridiculous. Take it for what it is.
