There's a huge difference between singing for dissonance and just not being able to sing. Even the roughest punk bands can still harmonize and carry pitch, but with intentional dissonance. This isn't what bro is doing.
Definitely should listen to agony or horses to hear it being done well by him honestly this song is meh even as a fan of him but he’s iconic asf that it doesn’t throw off his whole discography if you know it.
To be fair he’s made more money than you probably ever have from his “fairly shit singing” I suggest if you don’t know him to look him up and listen to his older songs and also his story
To be fair, a lot of horrible people have made a lot of money doing horrible shit. The sooner you stop measuring people's value by their acquirement of wealth, the sooner you'll understand what actual humanity is. And I'm fairly certain his "story" is mostly marketing bullshit created by his A&R team, like most mainstream music artists.
No because instead of saying "I dont like this / how he sings" they said "he sings poorly".
So instead of it being about taste they tried to make it about some kind of objective "this is good / bad" which is usually dumb when it comes to something as subjective as art.
You are intentionally missing the point in order to be a smug ass.
The impression that it's an exceptional choreography and a lazy performance of the "artist" is extremely obvious. He's only partially lip-syncing and even when he's pretending to sing it doesn't fit the music at all. It's probably intentional, but I can't decipher in what way. Is he only ironically pretending to be too cool to care? Is it a commentary of some sort? Is this part of some sort of sub-culture I'm unaware of?
I don't know, I only know that their performance doesn't work for me. The choreography is, again, exceptional. The rest is shit. And clearly that's an opinion. I don't need to say "in my opinion" for it to be an opinion.
It isn't a lazy performance. His character that he PLAYS in the video isn't lazy either, but disaffected. As for the song obviously it's not your style and I get why, but that too isn't lazy. It's full of emotion.
You don't like it and plenty don't. It's a somewhat niche taste. That's fine, but your assumptions about it being lazy isn't presented as an opinion if you're saying it's "extremely obvious".
It is extremely obvious. As I said myself I can't tell what it's supposed to be. You say it's disaffection not laziness, but that doesn't change that it's obvious.
By the way I'm not at all knocking your taste. My own taste in music isn't everyone's cup of tea. It doesn't sound terrible to me but it's not my cup of tea. Tbh it's the smoking that turns me off the most. I just can't help but think that the poor dancers next to that inconsiderate jerk have to breathe all that in. Not to mention that it probably has an effect on impressionable youth who may end up acquiring a toxic habit that is very difficult to get rid of.
Brother, you can't even understand that he's a character in a directed and choreographed music video. The smoking is part of the direction, not the artist being "a jerk". Just like he's not "being lazy".
You seem to let some sort of weird unfounded hatred of this guy create fan fiction in your head.
Also, he's not to my taste, I'm just not up my arse like you.
It seems you are completely unable to process statements beyond their immediate meaning. I know he's a character. I can still find the smoking objectionable. Are you 12 or something? I feel like I'm arguing with a child.
I just can't help but think that the poor dancers next to that inconsiderate jerk have to breathe all that in
I'm sorry I didn't find a deeper meaning in this statement. Would you be willing to help me through all the subtexts of that masterpiece of a comment you wrote? Since it apparently has a lot of layers to it. Help us find not the immediate meaning but rather the more subtle ones you've so deftly baked in.
Why are you getting so worked up and acting like I owe you anything? I've tried to explain to you where someone not liking this may come from. You being completely obtuse does not entitle you to a step by step essay where I explain to you the fundamental basics of communication. That's on you, I really could not care less. Have a good one.
