Some of you people don't get it at all....let see hes not 18 years old anymore....artist don't stay frozen in time just for your ears...its easy to see that these negative comments don't come from musicians that have been around the block a time or two ...Todd is still awesome
I also sang this at Karaoke - tonight - and must say that, although I hadn't practised it at all and I was worried it was going to be too high for me, I did fine. I really enjoyed it and will definitely do it again.
I sang this once at Karaoke, and luckily I had practiced it a lot beforehand, so I actually managed to nail it down right. A guitarist friend of mine, who I'd jammed with a lot, asked WHO wrote it! I teased him about that !
"Dude, you're too YOUNG to remember TODD RUNDGREN? He was a genius, a true star!" "We're ya born yesterday, kid???" LOL!
Definitely heard him do it worse! All the harmonies are there, and his guitar player is nailing that slide-y part. Also he's doing it in the original key - nothin but respect for that as so many people half his age drop things by a tone, sometimes more when playing live. By the way anyone who's never heard A Cappella should check it out immediately! Mid-80s TR album that will blow your socks off, it's really something special...
I was raised on Todd, he is so tailented and the Fact that he's still willing to do "I saw the Light" is good enough for me. Un like Eric Clampton who gets a pissy when the Fans request one of His old tunes! Todd is the BEST!
I came to say this. His voice is wayyyyy way way way deeper in this video than I had even expected. I know that your range diminishes somewhat as you get older, but this is almost like a completely different singer.
He sounds GREAT. Really strong and awesome vibratto. The man is a singer above all - he really knows how to deliver and send it straight to the heart. LOVE YOU TODD !!
Great singer, songwriter, musician, producer....And a really nice guy! Ask anyone who went to his 60th Birthday, Toddstock, at his home last June!! Brad the Dad
you wonder if artists get sick of singing their old hits. whenever i see cheap trick i think, i bet they never want to play i want you to want me again lol.
He did this song on THE NEW CARS LIVE cd. It was very good.

Hmmm...I guess that's one way to spin it. He's not declining. He doesn't sound like half the singer he was. No, he's "aging". Like fine wine. LOL!
