Fawcett "I Want To Break Free" Vocal Audition

[misterfossil]

Well, thanks to everyone who watched.

[hrdottori]

Really good audition, liked it a lot... But no rating, since it was not the best of the best... =)

Congratulations

[mallymahalik]

this was really good. if you don't get called back then you should try forming a band or something!

[poprocks209]

I liked it! Sounds great Jim!

[SybilSmith50]

cool audition. Although I would like to see someone dance around when they sing, like freddie. Everyone just sort of stands (or sits) still. But you sound good, I'll give you a like.

[MsJapanino]

You are great! It was a relief to listen to someone who's on pitch. And ignore the "haters". If they are on Nigahiga and MysteryGuitarMan they are going to be here too.

[misterfossil]

Thanks again to everyone. I'll be the first to admit that this is by far a "perfect" performance, and it leaves itself open to liking/disliking it. If you would like to check out my channel to get a feel for my personality, musically, or otherwise, feel free. You'll most likely find both better AND worse singing by me on there, some drumming, humor, fishing, chihuahuas, gaming...I just realized how ecclectic it is myself. Just a tiny snapshot that is the weird northern WI life, right?-Jim

[thatisso80s]

Fortunately you have drum skills to fall back on.

[rumblefox40]

nice job, i enjoyed my listen

FORGET THE HATERS, I LOOOOVED IT! YOU GO BOY!

[misterfossil]

A final thank you to everyone who has viewed and chosen to voice their opinions. I'm just a guy who likes to play and sing music, and who submitted an audition through the only means available. If you like it, fine, if you don't, that's your opinion. I actually don't understand the "hateful" reactions, either. I need to walk away and let everything just run its' course--let the lovers love and the haters hate, I guess. Check my channel if you are interested. Long live Music. Take care-Jim.

[LordSauceness]

I was expecting great things when I saw the intro here.... UNTIL...he started singing. It took about 6 seconds before I made it to the toilet and barfed.

[JoJy54]

I started laughing and he hadn't started singing yet xD

[Mouserzz]

oh yes stroke that vacuum cleaner some more

[misterfossil]

@Mouserzz

LOL, thanks?

[MooCubeNZ]

I don't understand the dislike for this. I thought it was great considering the key the song is in, and that he's unmiked and sitting. He hit all the notes, why the hate.

I liked it, and thought it was great

[misterfossil]

@MooCubeNZ

A heartfelt "Thank You." :)

[Bartsk84eva]

Great voice but not suited to Queen songs in my opinion :)

[misterfossil]

@Bartsk84eva

Thanks for the comment and also for being accountable for your opinion.  It's refreshing! :)

[karlinsky7707]

Always love to hear you sing! Nice job!

[misterfossil]

@karlinsky7707

Thanks.

[ccaarriissaa]

He sounded good to me

[misterfossil]

@ccaarriissaa

Thank you!

[randymbender]

Nice high notes

[misterfossil]

@randymbender

Thank you.

[ElmaCannonPrieto]

you did this as a joke..

you succeed...

next in line please..

[misterfossil]

@ElmaCannonPrieto

You confuse having fun while doing something with doing something as a joke. Please let me know immediately when you submit your own audition for this project. I look forward to watching it and commenting objectively. 

[ElmaCannonPrieto]

@misterfossil when you summit your video you let your self be judge you don't like it GTFO i know that music is not my call so i dont go and try to be a something i am not, plain and simple.!

[Angieyt]

Maybe just for karaoke?

:)

[misterfossil]

@Angieyt

I think the last Queen song I sang for Karaoke was "Somebody To Love" around 2006? I'm in two working bands (Shotgun Betsy and Foreign Object--see my vids), so I haven't done karaoke in a while.  Thanks for the comment (it was a nice way of you saying you don't think I'm right for this project?).

[misterfossil]

@misterfossil

We cover "Under Pressure," "Fat Bottomed Girls," "Tie Your Mother Down," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in the midst of stuff by the Cars, Bangles, Police, XTC, They Might Be Giants, Guided By Voices, etc...it's fun.

[LooneyBlondie]

At the time of my watching this you were at 23 likes 29 dislikes. Keep on singin! Take a breath, belt it out and have fun! ^^ Cute laugh!

[misterfossil]

@LooneyBlondie

I was a little perplexed about the like/dislike ratio, but then I was thinking, well, out of thousands of views, there is still under 100 people who chose to like or dislike, so...huh??? Thanks for commenting on the "belting." I thought maybe someone would notice the fact that I wasn't using a microphone and just singing from the gut--I thought that was good for this particular song. I wasn't able to mic anything on my drum audition either, but that's the reality of money. :)

[HarrysSecret]

You have a nice voice but I can tell you're a little tense.

Good luck, and well done for putting yourself out there!

[misterfossil]

@HarrysSecret

Thanks--it was fun. I have a nervous little laugh.

[misterfossil]

Thank you everyone for the constructive and positive comments. For those of you who have attempted to make yourselves seem momentarily interesting at my expense, allow me to share one of my favorite quotes: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done everyday, but they're unable to do it themselves."

[waspjerk1]

A vacuum cleaner is appropriate to be next to you because you suck.

[BraziliAna]

good voice!

[GhastlyPeanutButter]

Stop... Just stop... Marty already beat all of you. There is no try.

[nbamock]

@GhastlyPeanutButter Who the hell is Marty?

[misterfossil]

@GhastlyPeanutButter

I really liked his (Marty's) performance, but I'm not going to hide under the bed in the fetal position, afraid to audition. Also, I didn't watch any auditions before I sent mine in anyway, only after. It didn't change my mind.

[lastco]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 

[PratzStrike]

That was pretty good man, you've got good tone and a good voice.

[misterfossil]

@PratzStrike

Thank you very much. I was concerned about not using a microphone, but I think my 13-foot ceilings helped!

[marekx372]

not bad

[misterfossil]

@marekx372

Thank you.

[kimosaby1962]

Great voice, and it really did sound like you were having fun. Good luck

[misterfossil]

@kimosaby1962

Thank you--I was/am having fun. I'm a drummer, but I love to sing.

[Sporora]

LOVE MAH BOI!

[misterfossil]

@Sporora

Love to you!

[FictionWhichWeLive]
