  • i seen him in others hes amazing but he did need ALOT OF REST before he sang this

  • I like this song. A lot. BUT why is voice so bad?!?!

  • The whole band are trying to back his vocals up. Still one of the best bands out! Least they recorded amazing tracks before his voice started to go.

  • I love how everyone sticks up for him. I think it's clear he can't sing.

  • This guy is obviously tired, he can kick any vocalist's ass if he's fully rested! =)))

  • awesome! from philippines!

  • woah you guys are pretty picky,I barely listen to their music but come on give them credits this is what music is like- not always perfect but real. this is way better than some of those crappy pop artists doing playback when they are not feeling all right

  • @KristyClear What a sensible comment.Thats what 'Live' music is about.Not sounding exactly like the cd! Sounds OK to me, even though he can sing a lot better!

  • i sing better than him

  • I think its the mic.

  • i like this band, but this live performance vocals is terrible!.....

  • Seems like he is stressed and his voice is gone.

  • Damn Tyler Ward sings better than him in acoustic. This is sad.

  • @bigdaddyquey watch his other live videos, this is a one off where his voice was strained or tired

  • maybe he is not feeling right.....that's why.........but i stilll love you guys...and still love this song....

  • :3

  • It is not good anymore, you have to admit it.. 

  • He is eating his words

  • @jobbiejobs24 Can you count? There are 4- but I mispoke, because the bass player isn't singing.

    I like this version better than the original- if only he had kept his pitch up through the whole song- especially the chorus- the performance would be freaking amazing!

  • the lead singer is so stress. .his voice dont have time to rest maybe bcoz of pressures of schedules. . .huhuhh. . but all in all they are good. . here in the philippines they are adore by musicians, their songs are on the hit chart. . .bless up guyz. . .

  • Why can the other 3 guys in the band who AREN'T the lead singers- SING beautifully IN TUNE??

  • @windwardpro huh? there are only 3 members in The Script.

  • I think you have to remember that honestly, the vocals on the record in the song are some of the hardest he has written. they skip notes and jump around alot. it would be incredibly hard to sing live. so come on cut him some slack I bet if you could listen to his hear during this song it would sound better then any of you people who hate could ever sing. and honestly thats really all that matters. the heart of your music.

  • Great crowd........

  • Lol ... What happened to his VOICE ?

  • not as good as the music video, but i very like them <3

  • adoro eles mas não gostei do vocalista no acustico nao :/

  • Guys, stop it with the hypocrisy Danny clearly can't sing live, and in my opinion if you can't sing live you can't sing at all. Look at all their other live performances in each and everyone of them he just sucks. He is a good piano player, a good songwriter but not a good singer. Their recorded songs ROCK but that's because they use computers to fix his voice, when he sings live that's where his real voice shows up. I don't even know how this guy made it, he must have had a lot of money.

  • @malacif Well, I disagree my friend. I've seen the Script live and the only place where Danny doesn't sing live well is the US. I really don't know why. I saw their concert here in Lisbon and Danny was pitch perfect, and I can say that because I know what I'm talking about.

  • Chorus is.......different.

  • Y dosent anyone like the script live?????

  • @lizardbyrd cuz basically there are lots of professionals who actually hit all notes on live

  • @lizardbyrd hes not really good live wesp the chorus at the start omdz!!! that was jus too much for the ears

  • horribly singing live dude!! :(( off key, and the chorus sounds weird as! =.=

  • o.o really big different !! WTH

    x.x i don't like the Live version :(

  • r u drunk?

  • Whats wrong with the guitar?

  • I dont care you guys saying but i love script and Danny :)

  • what happens with his voice? :|

  • I think his voice needs a rest but it still sounds awesome!

  • Dont you guys know they performed it at morning usually we dont have a gr8 morning voice

  • i've no worlds, you're the best!

  • not exactly acoustic..good song though

  • i salute the bald guy, he's good.

  • This song came out exactly the same time I got my heart broken.... its exactly how I felt then, now I moved on... 3 years since... Happy 2012 :)

  • he sound like he got a cold

  • I admitt that this is not his best preformence, but its not that terrible and he gets better as the song goes on and that doesnt matter anyway coz he is amazing in all the other live vidios and still verry gorgeous in this one xxx

  • I know this guy is good but in this vid... Ouch

  • you should watch other live perfmonaces, they are much better, he must haave had a bad day here

  • Looks like he's really falling to pieces.

  • Danny sometimes has neck problems but he's a good singer:)

  • WHOOOOO,yea =, you are fallin to pieces O_O

  • Thats not how he sings cuz wen i went to his concert he sang way better .

  • Better in the video.

  • this band needs a new singer:( damn it, he's soooo hot. and his accent <3

  • on the same day they sang we cry on billboard if you hear it you realise that he got tired or something happened here just check it out it is on the right ! :)

  • late night.. drunk ... it started raining he got a cold woke up and went to do this all THE SCRIPT FANS will agree to this :) this is still amazing :' )

  • Yes. He is literally barely breathing!

  • hello wher's the origanal singer

  • Comment removed

  • Yea he was definitely sick..they probably booked this a while ahead, so he was committed..that's just part of the industry. Being sick sucks when you have to sing..

  • How´s it when a little girl (Maddi Jane) sings better than the songwriter?? :D

  • @guelle1612 please clean your ears..thanks

  • @rence089 done. Sounds still like shit ;)

    Maybe you should clean yours...

  • First i loved the Officail song ,, Now i listen this ... Is sayD O my God ,, WTF !!

  • he look tired when he sing this song but this song still beautiful ,i like it

  • I have seen these live and they are so much better than this!

  • Even with the voice not so good, You're the best singer I've ever heard, Because you sing with your soul and there's no comparison to that, I'm your fan, Thanks for every single music you sing.

  • i turned this off as soon as he started singing to listen to Justin Beiber! thats how much it sucked! D:

  • the percussionist looks like he's saying..."wtf" lol!

  • preloš je lik....nešto ne štima :(

  • I actually think the 'bad' vocals go back to the billboard magazine.. they just didn't master the song too good..

  • The back-up singer sings better then the lead singer.

  • wow, he wouldnt have made it to top 60 this year on Idol

  • I guess he was sick ;)

  • terrible live performance

  • He drunk on that night and got nothing. But still, I love it.

  • wow that was really ... disapointing  =/

  • meaning its not them its the sound system or video

  • Its them its the video sry but I can tell video is off

  • ive never said anything bad about singers....but this really did sucked

    cuz i sang along and none of the notes hit where i hit.

  • the lead singer always reminds me of randy orton for some reason..

  • His voice isn't falling to pieces, it's just a litte choked up.

  • ..... He sounds better autotuned..

  • He's still "the script" i love him :))

  • This song shows some, if there are, imperfections. And imperfections mean nothing more than that he is human, and he is not perfect. That is NO reason to cut him down for it. Hell, at least he's got the courage to show it to the world. Give him that. I personally adore these guys <3 Cut him some slack, please? Thumps up if you agree..

  • @GuinevereCaffrey I totally agree.. this band is amazing and i love them but yes, in this video there are a few imperfections but like you said, he's human.. nobody's perfect and his voice can't be top of the class all the time

  • On Graham Norton they sucked too! The singer sucks.

  • WtF .. :(

  • perfectly imperfect.

  • Can't seem to add a video response to this video. Here's my cover of The Script's "Breakeven". It ain't much but this is such an awesome song and to be able to sing it is just great!

    watch?v=PO3bx0uom-c

  • ...am i missing something? are we all watching the same video?

    there's nothing wrong with his voice...?

    he's obviously not gonna sound the exact same as he does on the album. duh.

    they clearly don't have to change much in the studio.

    he still sounds like a freakin angel.

    maybe i'm just watching the wrong video or something, though...

  • dude, this is not good...

  • the lad is hurting his voice, gigging so much. He was very good live in dublin but he had a few days rest b4 that i think

  • He sucks

  • Amused at people who expect a live performance to sound like a studio cut. hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • It such a pain to watch :(

  • jesus i have seen covers better that this?

  • every single video of the script has a comment along the lines of "is he sick, tired, etc. cause his voice is rough?". EVERY SINGLE VIDEO. people--that is how his voice sounds! production in the studio takes his voice to what you hear on albums. its not a off day, it's what his actual voice sounds like. its very easy to make it sound different in the studio.

  • Awesome band but this version is a mess

  • there are so many better singers that has better voice. But they don't have singing emotions like Danny has.... This is still great!!!!!

  • he got a flat tone on the other parts. but i think it's still pretty good. :) maybe he's having a hard time singing while playing the piano at the same time.. or maybe he's tired from all the touring and stuff. :P

  • Comment removed

  • he looks like he's having a hard time hitting the notes. :p

  • I LOL'ed so hard watching this video. They suck on acoustic. but great on originals.

  • Stop judging. Script is awesome for their music. They get millions of views on Youtube and many people enjoy their music.

  • OMG THIS WAS SO BAD!

  • you don't know how to use that voice if your danny xD so for the bad comments peace ....

  • This was a disappointment...

  • I saw them live a few months ago, and they were falling apart on stage as well. Started off ok, but 30 minutes in it was a hot pitchy mess. Maybe they should consider not drinking so much on stage if they can't handle it musically.

  • I don't really know if you can do a better job, but this song is extremely hard to sing. Upon that fact he might be ill or something else. If you can do a better job you're more than welcome to show me. It's extremely hard to sing, it really is. Check out my version of Breakeven and tell me what you think.

    This song stays one of the best The Script ever made and it just means so much to me so don't go posting stupid comments that it issent good or he can't sing. Show some respect man...

  • looks like his voice is......falling to pieces

  • @Paopao369 lolol

  • autotune is way  better

  • what the fuck.. i love this song but watching this makes me feel a little screwed...

    fucking melodyne, autotune whatever .. fuck every single studio effect! -.-

  • @hArKhAnGeL haaha I know

  • Its painful to watch him trying to hit the notes... I can imagine his frustration...

  • yeah theyre usually better than this live.?

  • This is aweful..

  • aw... what d ****...

  • see some gay shit going on here

    out

  • i don't see anything wrong?

  • Sounds like he's singing with his chest voice on the word "what" in the chorus, which is a high note that should be sung with your head voice. Thus, his voice is straining. Hopefully he gets some rest and be back to normal in no time.

  • watch?v=5GF1jKHBKgQ

  • i've seeeen them live and there way bettter then this. but everyone has off days!

  • @xXxletmefallxXx i love them:)

  • The guy is hot.

  • :( bad bad bad

  • I don't care how he sounds, as long as his heart and soul is still in the song it'll be beautiful.

  • "Danny, Mark, Glen" almost like poetry in a way as the greatest blessing to music, lead by the gradnest pf the trio Danny . To just meet them and here them sing in alive concert...its changes you.. they are angrls from heaven

    Sing on guys sing on

  • his voice is weaker here, coz he's an amazing singer usually

  • this kind of sucks..... BOYCE AVENUE FOR THE WIN!!!!

  • Well why did they put this online?? It was obvious he was having an off day, I know I do when I am sick or sick a whole lot. I think billboard should have known better than to put this online.

  • to be fair his voice is mint!!! one of the best ... recording wise , havent heard much of them live ... dont think billboard should have put this on line... its a bad performance but do they give a fuck .... no cause they are already massive!!! put the work in early doors and can now sneak away with takes like this ... its all about the songwriting to get to the top and they can certailnly write a tune !

  • What am I sposed to say, when im all chocked up and you're ok?

  • I actually feel nearly sick reading some of these comments. no disrespect to anyone at all but i would like to see any of ye sing day in day out perform and have perfect vocals! this band has saved me and it really really gets me upset when i see people putting them down for one performance which is nowhere near as bad as anyone is saying! sorry i really don't mean to be disrespectful/ start any drama but it really gets me down when i see people commenting like this about the script!!

  • y is everyone sayin this is bad? its pretty good, better than most of the lip sinkers and auto tuner siningers like justin bieber

  • DANNY <3

  • the best

  • er kann ja gar nicht singen

  • Don't be put off by this performance! When your at there concert, it sounds great, Danny had amazing vocals for most of the songs songs! When your in a gig atmosphere who cares if the odd note strays here and there.

    The script is a great band, I would watch them over and over again!

  • Wtf ! 

  • Take him to X factor and i would love to hear Simon's opinion about this guy's perfomance.... it would be priceless..... what a disappointment !

  • i love this song.. but this dude is kiling it!!!! please bring some pro-tools ASAP and fix this guy's voice... what a terribel version!!

  • He's sick or worn out or something. I saw them live this year, he sung amazing live.

  • MILLI VANILLI LOL

  • esta muy desafinado

  • this sounds .. "different" live O_O

  • Comment removed

  • People make mistake sometime:)

  • Maybe his voice is weak due to sickness, if they have been traveling he could be tired. I sing too and when you sing and sing and sing your voice gets weak. He has an incredible voice so something must be the matter here. BUT, regardless, The Script is the freakin bomb!!!!!!

  • @kingdomanointed He almost always sounds like this live....

  • ok did anybody seem them live in concert ? b/c if hes kinda flat here...is he like this in concert ?!?! i might go see them.

  • Voice is weak live..

  • He is really falling to pieces!!

    The guitar man is trying to save the song all time!!

  • He is really falling to pieces!!

  • This live session ruined the band for me - luckily i heard them live to a festival where his voice was spot on .. I think he might be sick during this record :)

  • This is not acoustic.

  • i saw them live a few weeks ago, dannys voice is absolutely great live. they put on one hell of a show.

  • Given the fact that he IS in a band , it's understandable that his voice isn't fully rested here simply because yall KNOW he's been performing every where and i've seen WAY better than this from him... he's still good though

  • @trybeeMUSIC thank you for stating this. but remember performers are supposed to always sound like their cd voices. :p they aren't allowed to have sore throat or have naturally occurring symptoms of "tiredness". haha. XD

  • some band sucks at live... their one of them...

  • I saw their show here in Portugal and they were great!! He's singing in a weird way here, like he has a cold or something like that.

    Because he sings wonderfully live, i promise you :)

    Loved it so much, i would pay to see them again <3

  • ur d best ,dis s ur fan from Bais City Philippines

  • After :50 it becomes a nightmare.... lol
