MICHAEL BOLTON LIVE - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER - ARETHA FRANKLIN TRIBUTE

[crystaldream1981]

I have had a crush on Michael Bolton since about 1984.

[crystaldream1981]

I sing & I don't need any damned autotune.If you can't sing without the machines by God you can't sing. A lot of the stuff that passes for music today is pitiful.

[pacboxing]

They are so amazed they can't believe it.

[universalsongster]

this is not autotune. hear how he went flat on 2:01. and with his age, i can say that he can still outsing every male young singers today. esp that bieber. lol

[prettypurplepixie1]

I think it's cool how people are learning about Michael through the Jack Sparrow song.....love Michael's sense of humour.....younger people are getting into his music and seeing what true talent he has, I have bought my 15 year old daughter 3 of Michael's albums for Christmas and she has bought the same 3 for her 17 year old boyfriend, who got into listening to Michael because of the Jack Sparrow song. People of all ages can appreciate Michael's talent, even though he is over 21, LOL.

[razordu30]

Wow, Michael Bolton aged pretty damn well.

[Joellen5607]

Dang, I think I have a new crush. Lol. =)

[JusticeNoobish]

he is a great

[kmayarovich]

Now back to the good part!

[TheRealLinkShady]

@YoungNMarried Seeing how we love him because of the jack sparrow song he'll make a new album with a younger feeling and giant squids references.

[compuadicta16]

[Thermalfusi0n]

DAVY JONES..... GIANT SQUID !

[Japanophobic]

[GoodGuitarSolos]

"Everybody's Crazy" - Bolton 25 years ago: hard rocker with great voice.

"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" - Bolton 21 years ago: soul belter with great voice.

"Steel Bars" - Bolton 19 years ago: adult contemporary singer with great voice.

"Said I Loved You... But I Lied" - Bolton 15 years ago: adult contemporary singer with great voice.

*Long break*

"Jack Sparrow" - Bolton 2 days ago: cool motherfucker with great sense of humour and great voice. He really likes PotC, it seems!

[hayleysamson]

wall don

[CaranLonde]

very rare to see a new gen singer perform something live decently....90% of the time live performances aren't really live :/

[Sarttimi]

i come to watch this video, and of course i go to the comments and see immature people who don't know music talking about auto-tune. I am 20 years old, and i am smart enough to know that this generation of music actually consisted of live, amazing, talented singers. So get you senseless comments about autotune out of here, and take it to a t-pain vid.

[HcWeaner]

woow what a bass player.. as always, nobody is listening to him :D

[sugarhoneyicedtea123]

OMG I LOVE ARETHA'S DRESS! Michael Bolton is pretty awesome too.....:)

[hansfranzmeier]

What a voice

[loveofallthingsmusic]

touches the soul

[AIKAN74]

all these references to autotune....i am going to assume that these are a bunch of younger kids/people..........the artists i grew up on from the 90s on back for the most part were live performers. auto tune is something that is not a part of my generation or the ones before..................these folks got talent!

[onlyoneman23]

P.S there is no auto tune in any of this you can his voice get of pitch sometimes because its live...

[onlyoneman23]

Michael Bolton was the truth on this song.....Dont see how anyone can be negative about this.....He's always been one of the best singers of our generation....When we have garbage now please dont hate on this...

[BeeFlannel]

I've seen Michael live in concert so many times, I can't count them all. I've also been priviledged to sit in his rehearsals and sound check a few times, and his pitch, vibrato and voice quality are flawless.

[farsah14]

hes not using auto tune because he is actually a bit pitchy at 2:00-2:06

[IronPillaz]

auto tne what is that?

[themillenia]

@IronPillaz You don't want to know.

[Pookspoons]

Look, having seen Michael Bolton in concert many, many, many times, he never sings out of tune nor does he use any form of electronic voice correction equipment!! So there!!!!

[SkilesASMB]

@Pookspoons: On his new album, he using auto-tune in spots, but more for effect than anything else. He can still clearly sing his ass off.

[manhead3]

If he was using auto tune it would sound alot more harsh than that!

I know because im a f++king sound engineer/

[Nevarrus]

@manhead3 And we're f*cking musicians mate; That's not auto-tuned for shit.

[manhead3]

@Nevarrus I did not say that he was using autotune!

[tormusfx]

Holy fuck, if I was asked for the kind of voice I would like to have, I would pick Michael Bolton's voice for sure.

[vinwillis70]

And Sometimes videos posted in youtube have troubles with a perfect synchronism of sound and image too!

[aurora1911]

i like aretha alot but she is sat their a little too ....im it for my liking

[KINNA65]

Please people, leave Michael alone...He has his ful right to sing whatever he want to sing.... And he`s doning it the way he likes...... And I LOVE IT.... and I know that I´m not alone...Love

[jhuvert]

guyz..let my michael bolton sing this song to his own rendition..

[youandmetube27]

They're running vocal pitch correction live...you can hear it...especially in the vibrato. There's just no way to use it live without hearing it. 2:10 2:38 especially.....2:50 lay me "DOWN"..goes up and down. too bad.

[JMCSD]

I'm afraid I don't hear it. -1.

[ToppaCat]

and...who cares... -2

[vinwillis70]

sorry but you're wrong!!

[youandmetube27]

Go back and listen to 2:38 if you can't hear it...then I guess it's true what they say about people not being able to hear auto tune in ANYTHING. Can you hear it in CHER'S SONG?!

[vinwillis70]

Yes I can hear in some Cher's song! But I don't agree with you in this time...maybe a post production that "all singers" around the world are using today...maybe with melodyne not autotune! This, after the show...man I saw Bolton singing in front of me and I live teachin vocal techs, recordin cds and I dubbin stranger movies 20 years of my life and with respect I really don't agree!

[onlyoneman23]

Youandmetube27 must be very young or not familiar with past generation singers or anything from the 90's down...Majority of artists voices rattle in a rhythmic way even little michael jackson all the way to grown michael jackson had it....I believe he doesn't understand music very well or not familiar with an artist playing with his voice but Michael bolton was very good on this......He's always been great to me.

[dazzyd77]

he is so good live, cant think of many people to rival him singing live,

[Lauranis]

Aretha need to teach him how o sing this song

[aurora1911]

just like pavarotti has to teach her the way to sing nessun dorma

[akdyer03]

Ouch!

[mcid2001]

hahaahahhaahhahahahaahhahaahah­ah awesome!!!!!

[MrStyle23]

I really liked him on this!

[aurora1911]

its a melodic song and just watch him sing with patti la belle like no other black afro carribean male could ever do or has done .

[thompsont908]

He really needs to sit down and let the african americans do their thing. This White boy aint got the rythm
