wow! I fucking love chris corner!! as he was becoming x and now he as X! extraordinarly talented. Ive seen iamx twice live. I think all of you need to see them! I fell in love instantly
Ha, just noticed at 0:52 he's asking the sound guy to boost his vox in the mix. Hand signals "vocals" "higher" "hear". I don't think people really appreciate how much multi-tasking is going on when you're performing on stage.
What a shame he let his jealousy of Keri over take him. Ego is a easy thing to have bruised. He can never do 6 Underground or Spin Spin like the Ali cat.
@Skelliosis who can spell when your'e tanked......lol....or cares...still she brought a better dimension to the group....that's all or is it awl or is it owl
This is such an incredible song and Chris's voice is ALWAYS powerful, sexy and seductive...just like his state presence. He reminds me of Jared Leto for some reason :)
I prefer Chris, but then, I've always preferred male voices to female - except if it's exceptional, like Nina Simone, Bjork, PJ Harvey, etc. Unique, powerful ones. Male voices always suited my tastes more, no matter the range. But again, as thedeak said, it's just my opinion, no better or worse than anyone else's. Plus I think Chris has an enormous stage presence and charisma I personally prefer. Not that Kelli Ali didn't have her own - I'm just not into women much....
Agreed. He's also got a really kick-ass stage presence with a guitar. I used to hate the strangled noises he did here, but it's really grown on me. There's just an attitude of not giving a damn behind it, which is probably what makes his performances so impressive.
Yes, she left, but not of her own accord. They did ask her to leave so Chris could pursue his role as the front man. Also, I agree it is a matter of taste. I don't think my opinion is better than anyone elses..it's just mine :)
No, the original front-person was kelli Ali (used to be kelli Dayton), and she was the original sound of Sneaker Pimps. Shes the one that made them big. In my humble opinion, they should have kept her because i don't think Chris Corner can sing.
Kelli Ali best?? They are different but she isn't better than Chris...The voice of Chris is more expressive and he has a dark style that was better for the songs of splinter. Why Chris can't sing? Songs like Low Five or Loretta Y.S. are very beautiful!! And Kelli isn't the one that made big the band, because all of songs are written by Chris. I think that this made big them (the lyrics and songs)...Have you listened IAMX? :D Sorry for my english :PP
Being the song writer isn't a valid argument. Many artists don't write their own music or songs. Just because Chris wrote them doesn't mean he's magically a better singer. Yea, I think he has a more expressive style, but I don't think he pulls it off well.
I think the songs are very important, but also the voice, and Chris has a fantastic voice which tansmits very much. When he sings the songs that Kelli sang at first CD he does it well too!!
@thedeak Ha ha, Corner's got one of the best voices in rock music these days, technically his range is more varied and skilled.. this is not debatable. You can't pose the argument that Kelli was a better singer... sure you might like her style more. But you're a moron if you think she's actually better. She's generic... She's hot, I'll giver her that. But no way in hell does she emote the energy and technical virtuosity that Corner has proven to master. Listen to some IAMX. Flawless live too.
Doesnt really matter but where are they from? They are awesome. The audience doenst look like they knew what they were in for, except for a few kids. Maybe its a festival?
pimps classics....if only they had stayed together, i think they had plenty of unfinished monkey business. i know from first hand sources that other pimps think chris is being a 'style before content' pouting tit nowadays with his iamx "image". i'm not slagging chris, i'm just saying what i know to be true. maybe they shouldnt resent his newfound "success"; he means a lot to gangs of european teenage girls now.
Hmm, I think music needs more style than content to make people like it, but it needs more content to make people love it. So in a way he does good by his IAMX music. At least the music is awesome, ; )
Yeah that guitar must have been cursed because it pretty much ruined this otherwise great performance. Hahah.
