Somebody to love cover by me

It's not his pitch that is the real problem with the performance, it's his overall lack of control. Somebody to Love isn't just a matter of vocal range - it's a sublime bit of soul singing (I've even heard people complain about FREDDIE'S pitch in that song, and it's his fucking song).

It takes a lot of panaché and style to carry off that vocal performance, and TM - you lack that. It's not just a matter of how much of the time you were technically on or off pitch - that song is all about expression. Expression is what you change from the note itself - yes, deliberately and selectively going a little 'out of tune'.

Your expression, control, and any notions of subtlety - are all AWOL. So what if you hit a couple of notes? Congratulations, you've done a very bad job of parroting a very good gospel song.

I think it's time someone tracks his family down and convince them to have him assessed at a mental health clinic. He's just way too delusional!

Mark my words Amir...you, your brother, and your band will NEVER, not even in 20 year's time, progress beyond the butt of a joke you've proven yourselves to be. You will NEVER gain recognition nor fame so long as you continue this negative self-serving stubborn arrogant path of yours.

Have fun living in your sugarcoated pitch-perfect fantasy land

Zebonka: I agree and disagree, i agree that it is not just about hitting the right notes but i disagree with you that i dont sing it with passion though. Yes i need to practice my voice to get more control and once that is done then you can bet this will sound with much more soul. But at me doing a poorly job is also inaccurate, i think its quite good for a non trained amatuer singer. Just wait when i get better control over my voice, then we can talk. I am sure that i will be able to sing quite well over time and people here will be amazed.

Who is amir, its not me, im Vincent and YES my music will make it. At least in a SANE world it should :)

My side by side comparison with freddie shows that it is NOT out of tune so whatever dude. This just shows that you are an sheep follower, agreeing all of a sudden with the herd. I dont care what you guys say, im a musician and i know if it would've been out of tune. By the way, the only band i think is good out of the bands you mentioned is Dream theater, the rest sucks and i know im more musical. You call it cocky , i call it the truth, take it as you wish. Stop being such haters,i mean really its pathetic ====================================================================================================== Then explain why you "challenged" them to a side-by-side comparison? Does that not at the very least, imply, that you think you're better than them? By the way, I'm not following the herd. I actually enjoyed your cover, but what they say still remains true. I'm not someone who likes to really put people down unless they've pissed me off. You tried to prove Greg wrong, which pissed me off, since Greg and I are good friends, and since he knows STL a heck of a lot better than you do. About the bands, you're a moron. You are not "more musical" than them; if you were, and I know I'm going to regret saying this, but if you were, you'd be the one with 5 Grammys. Now I know, album sales, chart positions and awards don't truly mean anything if you are superior to them, which you are not. You can't just have your own opinion to be considered good. You need others to like you as well. And at this rate, good luck to you my friend. Lastly, I'm not a hater. If I were a hater, I'd just tell you to fuck yourself, and I'd never check the thread again, because I'd think that what you have to say is all important. You are still a human, and so we all have our opinions, and in my opinion, you voice your opinion like a spoiled 5-year old with bad language.[/QUOTE]

Excellently put!

"but i disagree with you that i dont sing it with passion though"

I don't think I said that! Passion is an internal subjective thing - I obviously can't know whether or not you're feeling it while singing a piece of music.

I was only trying to address what you've been saying about being on key and all of that. It's a song with a lot of slides in pitch and it's not surprising that people usually make a mess of it.

Post removed.

Dictator mentality? Offcourse im going to challenge someone if i think they are wrong, are you kidding me? I KNOW they are all wrong and the side by side video proves it ,in the video you clearly hear that it is not out of tune, sure one or two notes might be slitghly off but hey , im no Mercury so chill out.

Look , there is NOTHING wrong with believing in yourself, if you believe you are better than those bands then more power to you. Stop being a victim with a victim mentality, like "who am ito say im better than them" Well they are just like you, only that they have made it, they got their connections and made it thru to the masses but that doesnt mean that they actually are more musical than others.

====================================================

Thank you— people seem to find me humorous most of the time. :P
I'm gonna be honest here, I don't fully understand what you're saying for the first part, but I think I get it (somewhat). I still have my opinion, and you still have yours. Can't we just agree to disagree on one thing, and agree that your video was enjoyable? And by the way, I'm chill; I'm Canadian, so if I'm not cold, there's a problem. :D

I do really like what you wrote in the second part. I still don't think you're better than the Foos, but hey, that's just me. Like the other one, can't we just agree to disagree on one thing, and agree that Dream Theatre is awesome?

Peace and love.

I wonder why people still keep responding. This cunt's just attention seeking, and he's just a fat troll. Fucking fat troll. If you stop feeding the troll, he'll be gone.

He DOES understand and know that he's a stupid, voiceless cunt and he just keeps trolling you all.

Page 4 already?

This troll posts at plenty of forums with the same old diatribe. Stop trying to get through to him. He is indoctrinated into his beliefs like a religious fundamentalist, and is completely immune to constructive criticism or any kind of critical thought.

The definition is insanity is performing the same action and expecting a different result. And that's hopefully food for thought for many people in this thread, not just the buffoon who started it.

I say that if you can enjoy your own music, no matter the level you achieve, then that is something to be satisfied about. I think Justin Hawkins said something (I don't have the quote and am too lazy to stop to look it up right now ... well, maybe I'll look it up later) about how he thinks that music should be about having fun.

"I think Justin Hawkins said something (I don't have the quote and am too lazy to stop to look it up right now ... well, maybe I'll look it up later) about how he thinks that music should be about having fun."

Erm.. having a bit of talent might be a help.. fun can only last a short while on its own.. look at Justin Hawkins' career

My point is ... (edited out because there is no point - ha)

Mad: What i meant is that offcourse should one defend what he/she believes in and not just accept it because someone is "supposed" to know better like Greg. They made a claim, i dared them to do something to prove what they were saying and they went and hide. So i made a comparison video myself. But yea offcourse we can agree to disagree even if there is obvious proof lade out. You might think FOO is more musical than me but even if you would compare this small classical piece i made sometime ago, then maybe you would understand where im coming from with my statement. Its not all arrogance, it is actually (in my mind atleast) the truth.

Donna: Exactly , as long as you yourself like the music then that is the only thing that matters.

Moghead: SO you think this is talentless? Interesting...

Nobody's saying you're not a good musician. You can play and compose well. It's your attitude that rubs nearly everyone the wrong way. The fact that you don't know how to look in the mirror is your worst enemy. It's called self-realization, and you have very little of it, if any at all.

"I decided to make my band cause i was sick of the crap they call music these days."

Step 1 is stop saying things like this. There is a ton of good music out there. Stop listening to Rihanna and you'll find it. Step 2 is realizing you are nothing special. There are literally millions of people writing good music and uploading it to youtube, just like you.

The day you decide to get over yourself and actually start communicating with people is the day you might start to make something of yourself. If you don't get your act together, one day you'll be wishing you'd pulled your head out of your ass 20 years earlier.
