no processing on the vocals....she seems to still hit all the right notes...I'm sorry, but it doesn't sound that bad.

I didn't know the term "tone-deaf" described a real thing...but it does. And you suffer from it.

owatadorkiam is not tone deaf. I'm a vocalist (yes I was paid to do it for a living at one time in my life) and sorry to say I didn't hear any sour notes. Granted she's no virtuoso, but she's not singing off key at all. What I expected to hear was horribly out of tune singing and heard nothing of the sort. And yes, I really wanted to hear her choke.

yes, he most certainly is, and it would appear you are as well. an avid musician myself, this made me cringe....BUT went ahead and had my mother, a pianist and classically trained vocalist for over 40 years, my brother, a professionally trained vocalist and avid musician (you should here his Faithfully by journey, hit it at karaoke this last weekend and he fucking OWNED it), and my good friend Mandy, a vocalist and musician by hobby who trained under one of Jessica Simpsons former vocal coaches.....
and they unanimously agreed that she fucking sucks. and not just the talky verses (cuz i know thats kind of her unique stlye) but the chorus and prechorus (especially the prechorus)
you didnt hear any sour notes? that sentence alone condemns you as tonedeaf. It wasnt chock full of em but there were PLENTY to choose from.
what i will say is this: she is certainly trained, she can carry a tune (sort of), but she is mediocre at best
but thats the music industry for you. me and my brother have been in bands playing locally trying to get exposure since we were in high school........and justin fucking beiber gets a multi million contract?
it has little to nothing to do with how talented or unique you are and everything to do with one of two things: luck/right place right time, or knowing the right people

"My musician friends can beat up your musician friends!!! Derp derp!"
Look, I also used to sing "Faithfully", "Lights", "Separate Ways" along with "I want to Know What Love Is" (Foreigner), some Skid Row, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Van Hagar, Van Halen, etc, etc. and many other songs from many other bands in my bands. I sang 6 nights a week 5 hours a night in one of the highest paid bands on the bar circuit at the time. I was told on a nightly basis that I covered the songs we played live better than the most of the original artists in a lot of cases. But yeah, whatever you say, I'm tone deaf. LOL I have been singing in bands since I was 17 and I'm 47 now. I'm pretty sure that alone qualifies me to have an opinion on her singing skills. So please don't try to lecture me on my ears, or singing ability.
My question is; Where exactly did I say she didn't suck? What part of me saying, "What I expected to hear was horribly out of tune singing" and "I really wanted her to choke" didn't you understand? Yes, I heard no sour notes. At least not any that made me cringe. Do I really have to explain my comment to that extent for you to comprehend what I was saying?
Sorry your brother couldn't make the grade. Life is tough, huh? And I'm glad he "fucking OWNED it" in a karaoke bar. (seriously? LOL) Sounds like you have a bunch of sour grapes to me. Period.

@shuac: true, Kurt would agree with you:

from wiki:

In a January 1994 Rolling Stone interview, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain revealed that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was an attempt to write a song in the style of the Pixies, a band he greatly admired. He explained:[4]
“ I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band— or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.

Something still isn't right. This video only shows 14 voters, but the vote tally says 25 on my Firefox browser and only 10 on my Chrome and Opera browsers. I don't know whcih number is right, but in both cases the tally doesn't match the number of voters.

Also, search doesn't work.

Observe: http://videosift.com/video/Nirvana-Come-As-You-Are is perfectly good, yet check out what shows up in search: http://videosift.com/search?q=nirvana+come+as+you+are

Not even (0) shows up in any category.

EDIT: Both problems seem to be resolved now. Thank you. >> ^lucky760:

For all of you who have been wondering what happened to the "Who Voted" listing on videos, it's fixed now. During our upgrade last night, a newer version of some software was installed, but in that version the cache deleting mechanism is busted.

I'm sorry to say, but it's become quite clear over the years who had the real talent in Nirvana.

What a bizarre comment Bit hard to say "over the years", considering Kurt died and we can't know what he'd be like.


LOL true. I'll say "in my opinion" then. I was never a big fan of Kurt's stuff.

I do feel bad for that Justin kid. Kid knows how to perform and give a good show which not many from his peer age group could do, let alone in the music business. But he has become this go-to-target and has become a scapegoat to all the things that people think are wrong with American youth today.
It's not the kid or their fan's fault. Before Justin there was Britney Spears, before Britney Spears there was Madonna, before Madonna there was Nirvana, Michael Jackson, the doors, the Beatles, Elvis, so on and so forth.
But I digress. This video ironically makes to be an open call for a flame war, with teenage trolls ripen with hormones and anxiety could unleash their rage against some silly kid on the internet. Well, there's nothing that I haven't seen before and the ending result is very predictable. Some teasing, kid gets his feelings hurt, rage-quits teh interwarbs for awhile, victory for the trolls.
Nothing much else to be said about this issue.


Not to be picky, but I'm quite sure Madonna came before Nirvana.
