Terrible: "Not the place for bad youtube lip-synch videos, or other sub-standard amateur releases."

WTF: It's a dude singing karaoke. It's not that shocking.

Cult: Christianity is pretty mainstream.

Fear: Uh, what?

is it me or does the audio de-synch quite badly as the video goes on?

Lip synched?

>> ^flechette:

It's because they aren't synthed to shit and back. They play their own instruments. They do awesome live shows where they aren't lip synching their own songs. They don't depend on drama or sex to peddle their music. They make good music videos. They're a good band. That transends the spirituality/christian theme 'downsides' that an athiest may have for bands in general.

I'm surprised that atheists enjoy them, considering the explicitly spiritual and christian themes interwoven into their music



Also, they're not preaching.

Automatic upvote from me (I play TF2 competitively :3). If Tf2/fragvids are your thing then you might be interested in this: http://youtu.be/_xpoi4EhCIo One of the better video editors and tf2 players reviews the last months (and a little more) frag vids.

Oh, and two of my personal favorites from last year:
http://youtu.be/h_0x_00zgk4 - perhaps a little overedited, but great music and synch.
http://youtu.be/SctEKhiX5J8 - a lot of people didn't like the music but I thought it was great.

Aight, finished plugging my community now

Someone needs to synch this up with the Barbara Walters interview of Herman Cain.

No offense intended, however you might want to consider a snappier title.

There are almost naked men in this vid. There is BAD DANCING, bad lip synching. Toilet humor. Cross dressing. Military men and women having a great and somewhat uncoordinated time. While your title is accurate, I wonder if a grabbier title will get you the votes this vid deserves?

Or not. Maybe I am the only one that interested in half naked sailors dressed only in boxes....

And being that nothing happens in this video, it's really not #actionpacked.

Oddly enough, I much prefer this version, out of synch and all. There is a deeper richer quality. It is interesting that those two clips are 2-3 years older.... I think she is sinking into this song more, with time and maturity.

And thanks for the promote!

The video is a bit off sync.
Here are some different versions:

Guys, this is all fine, but can we quickly devolve into a redundant "he's really good / no he's not - I know singing better than you" thread?
Thanks.


<MilkmanDan> That was really good! He does sound a lot like Freddie Mercury, but I know Bohemian Rhapsody better than Somebody to Love, so this time I could actually be sure that it was him singing and not just lip-synch.

<MilkmanDon> You ignorant blowhard! My tomcat yowling at the moon at night sounds more like Freddie Mercury! And I'd know, I've been playing the milk-bottle xylophone since I was 4 years old!



How was that @kymbos?

>> ^schlub:

I've heard this song SO many times that every nuance of it is imprinted perfectly in my memory. This guy does a pretty decent job but, he still misses the mark for sounding like Freddie. There are parts where he's really close but, mostly his voice is too "breathy". Very good attempt though!
Get your ears checked, MilkmanDan
>> ^MilkmanDan:
1) First, to my ear it is just so spot on that it seems almost unbelievable.

I figured that someone who was a bigger Queen fan would have a much better read on it than I did; if, say, someone was covering Metallica I think I'd be better able to pick up differences. On the other hand, I'm not much of a musician myself (dabble / have fun playing bass and guitar, but not well and I can't sing for s#it) so I'd still trust an expert's ear over my own.

Still, I stand by my assessment that to my ear he sounds very much like Freddie Mercury, to the point that I originally thought it might be lip-synching (although I'm now willing to accept he was singing it himself). I wouldn't have bet my life on it or anything, so I don't feel compelled to "get my ears checked" -- but I take no offense to your suggestion. Just glad to hear your comment as someone who is better able to compare to the studio recording than I am.
