Ne-Yo should have kept this song for himself! The NKOB voices were crackin'- just a HOT MESS! I'm sure he was just as frustrated as I am right now! LOL! The version he sings by himself is the bomb!
During the first song they sang, I was able to hear all five of them, but, during this song...all I can hear is Joey. Jordan and Ne-Yo....maybe the other mics had a malfunction or something.....
I have no clue what you people r talking about. This performace was damn horrible. If it weren't for Ne-Yo it would have been a song with no vocal talent at all.
What is the sound guy doing for a living? I mean, this is a huge TV-show! Every kid mixing shows in a small club does a better job! They should sue him!
i'm pretty sure it's the issues with Today's setup, plus the quality of this video, that make it sound less than perfect. because all of their voices are amazing usually. so stop hating..
The Today Show really doesn't set up their audio very professionally. Each performance has been so unbalanced. No diss to the boys, just think it doesn't do them justice is all.
This is totally true. They did better this time than in May (when Donnie's mic didn't work AT ALL in any of the sound checks, all the guys were asking about the levels, hearing the wrong feeds in their ears, etc.). I think the guys feel they owe the Today show, but honestly? For about a million reasons, they should go elsewhere in the morning. They AND the fans that turn out for them would be MUCH HAPPIER.
Just to be clear, I'm an NK fan that's been at every Today Show appearance (4/4, 5/16, 9/4). My complaints are ENTIRELY with Today, not the guys. I love them, they're great, it's Today that's got a whole boatload of issues. Can't wait for my concert on the 23RD!! LOVE NKOTB!
I agree. You can barely hear Donnie...and Joe sounds almost too loud..and Ne Yo too...Makes you wish you were there live to enjoy ALL the sounds equally.
I mostly only hear Joey for this whole song. It's like his mic was turned up way higher than the rest. weird...not complaining though, he has an awesome voice!
The Today Show has the worst sound crew in all of TV production. They even make Leona Lewis and Kelly Clarkson sound like shit. No one sounds good on this show. The sound crew can't mix shit.
Donnie....soooooooo sexy!!! Joe doesn't have that squeeky voice anymore, so it's gonna sound alot different. Still love them though. Can't wait to see them when they come home to Boston on 9/28!!!!!! There's no place like Boston baby!!!!!
I love Joe's voice--but I agree that his mic was not set correctly--which made the chorus sound a little off. Oh ladies--if only we were the sound engineers, we'd get this stuff taken care of! I love these guys no matter what and can't wait to see them in Boston later this month. Thanks for posting this, koya106!
I'm sorry but for some reason I'm not liking Joey's vocals on 'Single' anymore!!! He can't ever make the opening lines sound good which ruins the song. His voice is weak in places and then to loud and out of key in other places lol
I agree, he did start the song slightly off key. But I won't say go as far as to say that he ruined the song. Still, we all expected more of Joey. Maybe he'll do better next time.
I agree. Joey started off that way too when they performed this same song on The View. On here he's the loudest drowning out the rest of the guys. It's like the only one with the smoothe voice in this performance is Ne-yo and Donnie, but that's live tv for you. lol Either way, I can't get enough of this song. I'm so happy the boys are back.
They are all not always perfect, but this time - you can't blame Joe for anything - when you onstage, and your part is first, and backsound is suddenly falls down - and you alone with your microphone - you can't sound rerfect! It is awful situation. I believe he would sing better acapella if there were no any backsound at all! And he was singing live in the musical - i think ofcourse he CAN sing.
neyo is way better than all of them.
