Third Eye Blind - "Never Let You Go" - Private Sessions

[norrismantooth3]

This song sounds better as an instrumental.

[norrismantooth3]

Stephan Jenkins is a faggot.

thumbs up if you still listen to this 2012 /m/,,

In response to those criticizing the vocals:

Ever been apart of one of the most popular alternative bands from the nineties? Never. 

[Mujave]

@rkht8709 What a weird comment. You can't criticise someone because they're from a popular band? :D Stephen was never a good singer, he's an amazing lyricist, though, and the songs sound fine when recorded.

[rkht8709]

@Mujave Anyone can criticize whomever they choose. It's a freedom of speech, what befuddles me is that there are people that badmouth him and at the same time wouldn't even be able to hold a candle to him---singing OR lyrics wise---he can sound lousy as some people say but how can that be true given the success a select handful have reached?

Flash in the pan or not, different strokes for different folks. This guy deserves his props.

[Mujave]

@rkht8709 The success of 3EB is due to studio recordings of Jenkins' and Cadogan's amazing songs. He IS a lousy singer but it works in the studio, so who cares?

If it isn't already completely obvious from my comments: I like 3EB, I actually like them a lot. I also have nothing against SJ (I don't know about the whole Cadogan farce but I choose not to let that influence my judgment of SJ's song writing skills). I do however think it's nothing short of ridiculous to deny his faults as a singer.

[rkht8709]

@Mujave I'm not a music historian and would like to know what happened to this band. Its a miracle to still see recent videos of him. if there is anything else that would need to be addressed, I'll say this, how did they drop the ball? There were very popular--now, they have vanished. *&@!

still watching this vid by the end of 2011,. wooh

[rogermorrison]

he lost his shoes

[DMB44182]

@rogermorrison he never wears shoes on stage

[ultragabe]

lol. jenkins has never been able to do it! he's just singing within his range and not over doing it. Watch some of his videos from the 90s... it works with a huge crowd to drown out how shitty it sounds, but not in a setting like this. I like this better than when he tries to sing a stupid falsetto he was never able to nail live anyway.

[creed777]

@ultragabe unfortunately he's right, i can't understad why they wouldn't find a good backup to cover those parts?

[sonic777111]

Why is he avoiding his falsetto?

[candysweet434]

@sonic777111 because he can't do it

[NickA399]

@candysweet434 I think he's just tryin something different melodically. He hits the falsetto at the end of the chorus of "Semi Charmed Life" just fine in the video from the same private sessions-so it's definitely not a case of whether he can or can't do it.

[ddcho92]

@NickA399 i think sonic is partly right its probably really hard for him, so he just wants to hit it once and make it special instead of trying to hit it every chorus and screw up the ending or something

[candysweet434]

@NickA399 really? then i guess we weren't watching the same video because he definitely couldn't hit it in semi charmed life. he just can't do it anymore, sad, but true.

[diperrimax]

@candysweet434 stfu hes a better singer than youll ever be so leave if you think he cant hit the notes.
