It is the soundman who needed to turn down the backup singer's voice at the board and his voice really needed pitch control and effects to make his voice more blending in the mix.
this happened at one of my hockey games the band was doing the anthems and my mic for gameplay was for some reason turned up a little bit louder you could hear me breathing and talking while the anthems are going on LOL
your reply to RXRKIDD. Yes it was funny especially when the idiot had to get off the bench and tell him to shut up because the whole damn arena can hear him..... Oh wait I was that idiot! lol
I think it is actually more of a technical problem, seems the soundsmen didn't made the right balance and so the backup's singer's mic was higher when the mix was done.
You would hear it just fine if you were in that room.
your right it doesn't right, but it's not his fault, there is a sound engineer that doesn't know what he is doing, they always either have the backing singers turned up to loud or not turned up at all. this happens to my backing singers all the time, so annoying :D lol
I love this live version! It's so heartfelt. As the Lead Representative of the ET Teenage Mimickers, I feel so proud of people sometimes. It thrills me to hear such wonderful music. Great singing and performance.
.... they didn't. A bunch of Hollywood execs and record label CEOs did. I mean, it was quite unoriginal, and the theme of "Girlfriend" has been repeated a million times. It's simplistic and Avril sounded like she's that annoying girl begging to be yours... which captured a whole demographic of teenage girls... while she loses her credibility that she gained from writing and recording "Complicated" and other earlier tracks.
maybe u shud read MORE. "Girlfriend" according to Avril herself is a RANDOM and FUN song and she said in interviews that the meaning shudnt be taken SERIOUSLY. GOsh duh~ she's SO married to Deryck. she sets boundaries for herself too ya knw. im not so keen about her new image but at least she hasnt turn into britney spears. ( which she wont. )
But she did effectively capture a whole demographic. The lyrics can be traced from a thousand different songs written for teen stars, like Skye Sweetam, Lillix, Atomic Kitty, so on...
Wasn't Girlfriend stolen off some random Hispanic band? Not sure if anything came of it, but the original is stunningly similar. Except, y'know, listenable.
Anyway, sorry about the off topic. THIS song is beautiful.
You don't know? Avril's Under My Skin are co-written by Chantal with Avril. Don't you find Chantal's and Avril's voices quite similar, or the lyrics they sing?
Anyway, Avril herself is genuine enough that she co-writes every song in her album.
yup!!! i luv avril!!! and if u think just cuz i like avril doesnt mean i hate chantal i just dont know her not really interrested.... but shes really really good at piano...
