If you will notice he most always sings with his eyes closed he needs to feel the music and not be distracted. I don't believe he is drunk his performances are the same even in Growing Up Besides You he closes his eyes and that stage looks like it is daylight. I don't think he is drunk. His band members feel the songs too if you look closely at his performances he is a real artist.
I've saw him 5 times and he drinks before he comes on stage, its part of Paolo. Does it take away from the show? Not a chance. Does he forget his words or fall? Nope.
he`s feeling the music, all the great performers and musicians act ``weird`` on stage, they`re just living the moment gees, and people automatically assume he must be drunk or on drugs? xD
LOL...he isn't drunk. Or stoned for that matter. That is how he performs.....he has been doing that for years now. Paolo Nutini sings from his heart, not his head.
I don't think he's drunk. If he was drunk as much as it seems in every prefromance he'd poperly be dead by now because i don't think he would survive 5 years of being as pissed as he looks during shows
thats just the way he stands when hes playing, ive seen him more than 10 times and trust me its just his stance! but he always gets a bit drunk before a gig everyone who likes paolo knows this
as we all know the quickest way to ruin your voice is drink plenty of alcohol,or smoke or take drugs,in whitney houstons case she did all three and her voice is well and truly gone,so nutini beware of the scotts drinking culture,save your voice its well worth it ,
@MarcB134 Lol, you'd better check that again.... He's a massive drinker my friend... He drinks Strongbow Black and Red Wine... He turned up to a doctors appointment last month hung over.... He's a big drinker..... .
Drunk, Stoned, High or sober... this man is so into his music and he touches people in the heart with his voice. I think this makes him even more special... not acting like he is perfect... he is just being himself..
He is not drunk. He reminds of Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain was go into a trance when he sang, as if he was oblivious to who is around him. He just gets lost in the music and it is a beautiful thing.
johhny cash was takiing about fiffty pills a day to help his nerves...look at the brialliant way he was on stage and the class music he wrote especially big river fucking class....its not getting in the way of his performance so paolo gets a bit pissed....he still perform well and sing well....i hope my comment doesnt come across int the wrong way...
He was pretty drunk when i saw him on his first tour, but apparently he was drinking before he went on to settle his nerves. fair play i say. if he can drink and sing like this then good on him.
@lydialearns18 I totally agree. so the guy is a bit crowd shy coz he know's they may not understand what he says to them, and he stoops over as he sings, he's got a habit of facing to his right also - i think it just shows he's really into his music! and if ya can't have a beer, then what has the world come to.
He is amazing, I am not convinced he was. Its how he sings, and he was just stood lent forward. Not saying he was, but even if he is drunk, so what, it was probably just to calm nerves, it is scary performing, I should know, I have before many times, and he still sounded amazing so stop being horrible.
Yeah I agree he is not as drunk as he appears. I think it the way he gets his art across. he performs like that. He is probrally shy on stage and has a drink but he wouldn't remember his words and could not sound so amazing if he was so drunk! Plus right after the concert in Houston I got to meet him and he was totally sober when he just appeared stoned on stage so I believe its just the way he performs. He is the best !
MASSIVE fan of paolo speaking, He's ALWAYS drunk at gigs, He gets very nervous before shows, he drinks it away. . . Really, its not a massive deal, He's still INCREDIBLE at his gigs.
He's drunk at most of his shows. Trust, he is not drunk at this point. I've seen that, and it's pretty, even if he does start slurring more than when he's stone cold sober.
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight im sorry i relly hate these things :'
he might of had a drink, but in scotland you'r only classed as drunk if you cant get up off the floor after you fall! hes still stunning and sounds great! x
i dont think he appears to be drunk, he may have had a drink, but he is not drunk. I am scottish.. your only classed as drunk when you canny stand up or when you speak it becomes incoherent...
(or when the polis breathalise you when your behind the wheel n you've had one too many)
Gi the guy a break, you can clearly hear what he is singing unlike other folk when they are drunk. I genuinely disagree with that statement sayin he is drunk!
paulo does drink, admitadly, and he's almost always on the odd glass before he goes on to stage, but he is never drunk! He always acts like that at the end of concerts. Trust me
people say that he was drunk because que celebrated a little to much before the show because he's really loyal to his team, which had won earlier that day.
There's a "fan" watching at a brilliant artist and then post a video with as title "Paolo drunk on stage" .. I mean .. He just have his own way of performing .. and ofcourse he drinks sometimes or get stoned.. but.. who doesn't? And even if he was drunk .. than it's even more brilliant what he was doing there !
i saw him once n he said he lyks to get pissed bt i think he just has a couple of cans of beer which is the same as any other musician so why is it such a big deal
He is not drunk, he always does weird things when he sings but that's the way he is. (And we LOVE you Paolo). And anyway, if he is drunk that's nothing 'cause his voice is still amazing. See Amy Winehouse for "terrible drunk-or-whatever-she-is state" on stage. That is sooooo sad and not this
I pray he never changes. He has his own style and feel for the music. He feeds his own brand of passion into everything he does and that is why he is UNIQUE! What makes him GREAT! If he was drunk he still remembered the words to the song, stayed on beat, looked great, and sounded even better.
Actually i KNOW that he is not drunk on stage..I met him personally before and after gigs and he wasn't, not at all !
It just drives me mad that people judge him saying things like "Drunk on stage" without knowing him at all. That's just the same like the SUN writing all that shit about him...but we should do better than the SUN !
ummm i dont think hes drunk, i read that he has a drink before preforming cuz he is so nervous but i dont think he gets drunk, even if he does PAOLO ROX and he still sounds amazing
he is often into the smog... it's not alcohol ...
