Michael did an excellent job with the vocals on this performance. A few unique nuances from the recorded version, plus his falsetto is pretty spot-on for most of the performance.
although this wasnt the best, i have nothing against them, love em, like can you imagine needed to sing that high live without any editing, so i dont blame him for going low on parts
the reason this isn't good is because the singer is not good live. the way they make their records is based around the recording process and achieving beauty that way. the band is okay here it's just the singer. they need to figure out how to make the album vocal sound live

For all you peeps knockin his voice where is your album? Music is emotion as long as he portrays the emotion it doesnt matter if hes the worst sounding thing in the world, as long as it moves you.
@BabylLajf you have to remember that musicians are artist, what they put on an album is there idea of perfect, in a live performance theres no way to be perfect. especially in vocals, hes still a great singer
@EricWWE985 Absolutely! I am a musician myself and always tries to think about what will work live and what doesn't work live. If I were the singer or in the band, I would fix another singer that could do the live vocals, because such live vocals is extremely hard to do!

@conallmc1 roland juno 60 and 106, yamaha sk10, moog little phatty, microkorg xl. that just what i can spot in this video. michael also uses a wurlitzer 200a alot :)
These people are astounding. Greatest band ever.

I looked up several live versions of this curious if he could actually sing like on the record. Nope.
He may want to use a different singing style if he wants a lasting career. His lower voice sounds pretty good too.
