Portal - Still Alive at Video Games Live by the Spoony Bards

[Xaja50]

Thanks guys, I'm in tears of laughter here. Not in the least because you call yourself the spoony bards... well, it helped.

[MarioVsKoopas]

GLaDOS: i loved used to love my song but then she showed up you know before she came my life was so easy just listen to my awesome song now look at me

[HELLOCHEWY]

Spoony Bards, your singing is false

[bluedrache]

She sings out of her nose. :( Uck.

[Natman890]

GLaDOS would be dissapointed

[TheJo4an]

She used to sing better, but then she took an arrow to the nose.

[zanecreations]

i would hate on this video, but first, does she have a nasal problem?

[Aoscadin]

What the fuck is this shit?

[akuma12349]

Holy crap is the anouncer jeff briges

[thirdsecond1]

Wow myspace XD

[lex224ification]

Wow, so fucking nasal....

[echoimpulsivesound]

did anybody else think the announcer sounded a little like Jeff Bridges?

[Jaden1291]

@echoimpulsivesound Won't fall me out

[Jaden1291]

@TheSpoonyBards Could you clean up all the spam there? They're complaining about Jamie Hatten trying to imitate my computer GLaDOS.

[Jaden1291]

Oh, she's like Rebecca Black...

[Jaden1291]

@Noob131429802 Jamie Hatten forgets all her vicious voice, won't Portal 3 be out? You just told Valve about this...

[Jaden1291]

I drank Aperture Cola while watching this

[Jaden1291]

I guess it was time for me to eat the cake when GLaDOS was away.

[xXJonestarXx]

sounds horrible

[Nislo12]

@xXJonestarXx Get yourself a new speaker set (=_=)

[sugarcubed]

There's always a 'Freebird' douche.

[snazzytieguy]

Nope

[FtNinja]

WTF

[picarret42]

I think Orange is actively trying to sabotage your success

[Hallucinagene]

She sounds like a sick Disney Princess.

[Jaden1291]

@Hallucinagene Maybe she sounds like a real GLaDOS after I went to the Aperture Laboratories!

[nomnoooom]

This is the lamest thing I've ever seen.

[nairbgolden2008]

no wonder i came from ff4 to this

[Calabacin]

You know if people know something about music if they can keep the tempo. Anyone can hit keys or pull strings; doing it in rithm is what makes music.

[DE4715]

lol he shouted freebird, classic.

[Jaden1291]

@DE4715 He won't be back anymore, subject 4715.

[DE4715]

@Jaden1291 ok.



[ether11111]

did anyone else notice they changed the tempo a couple times

[zanecreations]

she suuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkssssss

[BrackHatake]

I don't know why you guys are complaining, I think it's very good!

[Jaden1291]

@BrackHatake That girl is GLaDOS' sister.

[speedysweetheart]

the music was the only thing good about it guys...if you truly sang this would be 10 times better

[Il315]

lol myspace FAil

[F4T4LITY1000]

Fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UberGooose]

terrible



[communismkilled]

I think this was amazing. I'd like to see all of you people saying all these negative things attempt to top this amazing performance.

[PivotEasy]

@coderlyoko he would explode

[coderlyoko1]

lol i wonder what happen if justin biber sings THIS SONG LOL!

[ParodyParty1231]

she sounds like a 1st grader who just had their tonsals pulled

[xJomppa]

Why is Justin bieber singing in the video..?

[PointsofData]

I think it was cute guys. Why so harsh? >.>

[animepowerlove]

sheeeeeeee suck sorry..

[AntonGFA]

xD FAIL



[TheCcrack]

no one sung along, they where to stunned by the sight of a real girl

[plasmidsheep]

The singer annoys me... so much...

[UnnamedSeeker]

For some strange reason her voice gives me mental image of catgirl GLaDOS.

[Jaden1291]

@UnnamedSeeker Are you sure? I've had my Portal gun in an old box after watching this.

[istealsouls4soup]

I sing this song better, and I'm a dude.

[paperoization]

To the singer:

I "Want You Gone". After that performance, I'm surprised that I'm "Still Alive".

[Jaden1291]

@paperoization I am "Still Alive" so we "Want You Gone".

[2000Dil]

and everyone just sucked to

[2000Dil]

did anyone notice that she hiked up 

[2000Dil]

she wold be good at want you gone 

[2000Dil]

she sucks oranges

[pokemonfanxfi]

fail. she was off-key

[timbolino22]

Why does no one like this? I love it, GLaD they covered this masterpiece.

[TranslucentChao]

u spoony bard

[Bruno153153]

The intrumental part is good but.... the vocal it's creepy...

[sex0saurus]

Let's hope this band isn't "still alive".

[Gegeratsu]

... ._. awful, just awful.

shes sounds like an awfully high pitched anime girl.

not a computerized Ai named GLaDOS.

plus her tone wasn't right, and the guitars weren't......just..oh god.

[Jaden1291]

@Gegeratsu My god! you've got shot by a turret!

[Jaden1291]

@Gegeratsu Um, must anyone remove this video and reupload it with a better version and original video?

[epicawesomesauceguy]

AWFUL!

[suprtommyman]

So, this is what Black Mesa sends to try to outsing GlaDos.

[lucianwindgates]

i dont want to sound mean. but my ears bleed hahaha no wonder why they had some1 else sing it last night.

[canofpopproductions]

She was trying way too hard to sound like GLaDOS.

[MrCheeseWire1]

Singer is tone deaf, not enough bass, guitar part is wrong. Very BAD job. Bad form.

[dragonbut55421]

No. I'M making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS

[Jaden1291]

@dragonbut55421 I'm making a note here: EPIC FAIL

[shadowslayerQ]

Flora is better. Why? They're a Russian rock band.....

[kchrchk]

Sorry I actually like the singer's voice, better than most can do, so she really doesn't epically fail. At least she gets up on stage and does it.

[MaxRideFanfare]

Not trying to be an ass... Maybe I am but that singer is really tone deaf

[Turpisumbra]

Edward = Spoony Bard.

[Miirgoz]

Nice one bands, good job and good vibes you've been sending :) Thanks !

[Poeish]

I don't see what everyone is bitching about. It's a cover, it's not supposed to sound the exact same. I like it. So, quit your bitching or do something about!

[sevillana9]

I've just realised that she sounds just like Kate Monster from Avenue Q. xD

[Jaden1291]

@sevillana9 She sounds like Rebecca Black.

[killercrashFR]

Cake is a lie !!!!!!

[Jaden1291]

@killercrashFR My chocolate is a lie

[Missymgish]

She should've just sung it normally. No one can sound like glados....NO ONE!

[Tallest9]

@Missymgish 'cept Ellen McLain. See?

[jimmybobjesus]

rrrrrrrr her voice pissing me off

[jimmybobjesus]

fail band is fail

[koloboko]

pretty cool!

[iiKagoKitty]

The way she interacts with the audience (When she points at the beginning) makes it feel like she's singing to little kids.

[d34d10ck]

Love the song, but her voice wants me to staple my ears shut.

[VmKid]

good music, bad vocals.

[Kerrsch]

more annoying than fred...

[zlink1802]

These guys have been epically raping every video game song cover I've heard so far.

[roflchips1]

MYSPACE PAGE >.<

[CaptainCaveman656]

Lol Fail band is fail.

[neo12344]

Lol I was here. xD

[TokyoZeplin]

Why is it so hard for all these live version of this song to simply use just a bit of vocal effects to get it like GLaDOS?

[Guernicaman]

The cake is a LIE!

[C0DZ0R]

@Guernicaman No, it's moist and delicious.

[AnikiGeelong]

my Gooood, tears came out of my eyes now... I loved it!! ç_ç

[XDrandomname]

We're you trying to sound like GLaDOS? Cause if you we're, I bet it could be a tad better just being you.

[Hypnosekatze]

wonderfull Video

[nitroxelerator]

I really don't like the singer... she tries to imitate GLaDOS and epically fails.

[R4ph43110w]

@nitroxelerator TOTTALLY RIGHT. she has no voice for higher notes.

[ironsniper13]

@nitroxelerator but she is cuteeee haha

[yogreeniscool]

@nitroxelerator i agreey

[fulvioramos]

@nitroxelerator no, she is singing the portal theme and you want her to imitate beyonce? retarded

[RiddlerMiddler]

@nitroxelerator Same here, she sounds congested or somthing.

[VampireofEpicness]

@nitroxelerator I think the funny part is that glados voice is not even a normal voice, so its impossible to do it without tech enchancements :\ arent they able to fix mics like that?

[stonetheforbidden]

I like her voice. She could do cartoon voices I bet.

[marty7044]

great job!

[sneed347]

the vocals were pretty good. they're supposed to sound like this. nice job!

[NikkiRose]

Shes nasally.

[sammywombarra]

she should have sung normally instead of trying to be glados

[rayzor753]

uhhhh the vocals suck balls

[silverwings21]

Surprised not one of them in the audience knew the lyrics.

[masterknowlege]

they should have hooked up the mic so that way her voice was auto tuned

[HearTheLightning]

Vocalist was quite a bit sharp =/, but asides from that, it was decent.

[valakin]

Knowing these people is a real pleasure.

[TobiFan13]

It is. I met them at Anime L.A.

The vocalist in this video was having voice problems, sadly. So she sold stuff instead.

[UberDoomi]

vocals are a little nasal for my liking...

[jevansturner]

She was trying to imitate the voice of Glad0s, the computer.

[FlyingDwarfzz]

you SPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOO­OONOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOO­OOOOOny BARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!­!

EPIC WIN

[dragonbut55421]

What is this song about? Btw great job!!!

[16Nire61]

Answering that would be a little spoilerific. Try looking up the game "Portal" and see what you find. :)

[alexlandsbergs]

[mingebag94]

it's about some robot singing about sience...

[slajmkorn]

goosebumps!!!

[MetalheadSen]

[RdKurama]

[GaijinTenshi]

MC Lackluster

[sagz11]

[MisterAwesome7]

This is awesome.

[NameIsPANIC]

First I've heard about you guys since a Nintendo Power article... That was a triumph, if a little fast.

[Khorino]

Come to Brasília on the next Video Games LIVE and, please, play this great song!

[OneNightStans]

i was at that concert, and in the front row, right next to y'all. i think you can see my hands clapping in the first few minutes. you guys did a great job at the concert. i'm so jealous of y'all. any room for a tenor sax player? lol

[TheBackyardigan]

I saw you guys there, and at Anime Central 2007! XD

You guys are awesome. Great job with "Still Alive" 8D

[Jaden1291]

@TheBackyardigan I think I "Want You Gone" now...

[ShadowHeartsFlight07]

I have a questin. how long have you guys been doing this? this is whsat I want my carrer to be but I want to play flute for videogame soundtracks. Have you guys recorded for anyone yet or are you still very small time?

[TheSpoonyBards]

We have been playing music as a band for four years, but it has always been a side project of ours - each of us has normal day gigs, and we haven't been involved composing/recording for the game industry (though that would certainly be awesome).

[ShadowHeartsFlight07]

well that's great thanks for the quick response mostly I decided that waztching my brothers and sisters get jobs that they ended up hating, I had to find something to do that would make me happy XD. I finally found it in videogame music! good luck to you guys can't wait to see you at next years ACEN I'll keep an eye out for any other gigs you guys have too!

[hsflik]

We're playing at Kawa Kon in St. Louis on Valentine's Day weekend. :D

[ShadowHeartsFlight07]

ooh how'd it go? I'll officially be at ACEN this year ..unless my grades go horribly wrong.. which I doubt ACEN this year will be the weekend in between finals' weeks AGH!

[Alycorn]

In case you didn't already know it from other fans, you guys are pretty darn awesome ;3
