Timing, lyrical genius, phenomenal musicianship, sense of pitch, and knowing how to do a cool show.
Wow... that was just awful. I did hear some music but the guy with the mic was jibber jabbering over top of it. But I can acknowledge the talent of whoever composed the music over which he was barfing his nonsense. To your points, he broke timing at least three times in his set. I could probably find more. Lyrical Genius... I'll have to take your word for it. I only understood "Imaginary Places" and the rest was dibba dooba zippa zappa pippa blam blam something or other. Sense of pitch... have your ears checked. He was extremely pitchy and not a singer by any stretch of the imagination. Cool show... I would have walked out even if it was free. The guy running the equipment seemed well practiced and rehearsed. Other than that... didn't see a lot of musical talent there. Just some guy talking fast. Now he could probably get some commercial gigs... like at the end of car commercials where the fast talking guy tells you all the legal stuff. But that's not musical talent... that's just talking fast. His words may be poetic... don't know... couldn't understand them. But that's still more poetry than singing isn't it. Talking over someone else's music, Like I said earlier. But art is very subjective. I do not consider rap music. I do not consider 90% to be art (I think they get away with horrible speech most of the time by labeling it "Art"). But whatever floats your boat... it's obviously sold as music to people who don't know the difference.
Like I said, better musician than anyone on the boards.
I really didn't think you'd try something that stupid. You still have not identified that you can count, measure, or otherwise identify the extent of the musical talent of everyone on this board. For all you know I could be that guy in the video. For all you know any one member of this board could be the greatest musical genius currently living on this planet. The fact is... you simply do not know what your talking about. Ergo... you're full of crap. The video you posted proves only that you enjoy garbage. Nothing more. Strike Two!
