I think these people don't have any idea who Dennis DeYoung is. One of the greatest and most charismatic vocalists and musician of the fantastic 70s. I am a dedicated fan of Styx and I think that Dennis is its heart and soul.
Notice how warm and on key Dennis' voice is. Notice how these kids can barely sing on key. Goes to show you can't manufacture true talent on a TV show.
CLEARLY, these f'king putzes are woefully incapable. They have merely shown that anyone can babble into a microphone, but it takes real talent to write such great songs, not to mention being able to sing and play an instrument as well.
Gosh I hope for Canada's sake this song was just an abberation, because the idols were awful individually. I am going to assume they are better singers when on their own, but wow that was bad.
They may be nerds as someone said but dang I still get chills from this song after all these years,regardless of who is singing it...A sign of a timeless classic!!! Good to see the youthful generation appreciate TRUE MUSIC!!

@skidoofr3ak144 yep. Those young kids really need about another 10 years of playing bars and paying their dues and honing their chops. It's a joke. No, I mean, the way they stand their and act like they have any ability is a joke. DeYoung was never a great singer technically (he misses his pitch often) but he was much better than these newbs.
@skidoofr3ak144 "your" a prick. HAHAHAHA YOU'RE a slimeball school dropout with no working brain. Even if I DID do better, you wouldn't be able to discern it.
What the fuck happened to talent like Dennis DeYoung? Most singers these days don't have shit on legends like him.
The problem now, is that it seams anyone can be a star. Back in the 80's, if you didn't have amazing talent, no one heard of you and that's now I liked it!
If I do a music search, I'm spammed with TONS of crap that all sounds the same. Its like the music world has been bloated with spam.
I blame teenagers and 20 somethings. They'll listen to anything and think its good, because they don't know any better. Most of them have no idea what real talent is cause they're growing up in today's world; bloated with shitty music that overshadows the rare good stuff.
They're the ones who record companies profit from and fill concerts, and they're the ones who give musicians millions of internet hits.
This video shows the difference between a true superstar with talent and a bunch a manufacured prefab "stars". Dennis lasts over 30 years later and the contestants will be forgotten in 30 days.
Oh my god, is that the best Canada can offer?? Pathetic that there is only one good singer on that stage, and he is old enough to be their grandpa. The rest suck big balls
I'm Canadian and I have to agree with you but it's not because we don't have talent, it's because the judges are tone deaf and sift out the good ones for the show.
This reminds me of when I used to play piano in church for the childrens choir and they had no clue what was going on or what they were singing. lol. Do they even realize who they were on stage with?
all the others sucked donkey balls big time. dennis can still belt it out at 60, and those young assholes can't sing a fucking thing. that's like getting frank pentangeli to sing that song.
OMG. I thought these were the rejects that had the second chance to come back on the show.. then I read the description and realized that they are finalists.
That is why I always thought that when they do a "cattle call" for singers to begin with.. the producers should start WEEDING OUT ALL the BAD singers that WASTES TIME for the judges to find REAL TALENT!
it would be allright if the other losers didn't sing too...lol.. in interviews he said he dislikes the sound of newer synthesizers for EP, right though, doesn't sound the same.i know mine don't
I love Styx and Deyoung but this is Shite
