Evil League of Evil - Nothing

[jamesmason01]

This is really good - think it could have done with a bit of more in depth orchestration in the forte section to add a bit more variety, but I really enjoyed it.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@jamesmason01 I totally agree with you. I threw this song together in about 2 hours, and at the time, I didn't have much experience with classical orchestration. If I were to do it now, I would probably have a full string orchestra with some percussion and other bits in there, but I like how this came out so much, I don't want to risk ruining it by doing another version. Some of my other songs have more orchestration (such as Drop of Rain), as well as one I am writing now based on The Shining

[FedhaNyuni]

Nothing needs his own Sing-a-Long Blog. Fantastic.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@FedhaNyuni Thank you sir or mam, I do have my own blog (although I like to refer to it just as a website), and it has music which you can sing along to (or buy, if you so choose), including this very song (which is free, since I love all of you, but only in a very evil way (unless you are Tina Fey, in which case I am willing to give up my evil ways...maybe)). So, to recap, thank you.

[EveryDayALittleDeath]

Nice. Wow. Well done. Do you need a HenchChick?

[KindnessGrewUp]

@EveryDayALittleDeath Doesn't everyone?

[EveryDayALittleDeath]

@KindnessGrewUp I grew up near a river polluted by radioactive waste, I fell in it during a thunderstorm and was struck with lightning, so now I have lightning powers and I go by The Lightning Theif, can I be your henchchick?

[KindnessGrewUp]

@EveryDayALittleDeath Only if you can use your powers to toast bread evenly on both sides, or to jump start a car with a dead battery. Also, be careful with your aim. Don't taze me, bro!

[YourEverydayMistake]

Beautiful work! It's not funny, but despite the occasional cliche it really does beat the crap out of EVERY application that was sent (well, Mr. Terrible can hold a candle, but a less intense, emotionally-driven candle, lols).

[KindnessGrewUp]

@YourEverydayMistake Well, Mr. Terrible would likely fart into that candle and spew forth flames in a feeble attempt to defeat Dr. Horrible, so I think we should leave the candles at home.

[bainus90]

This was extremely awesome!!! Truly beautiful and amazing to listen to. You have a very rare gift and talent, a better singer than Bieber or any other of the bad and over-hyped 'singers' of this age.

[24cincyreds]

Perfect

[KindnessGrewUp]

@24cincyreds Aww, shucks, you're making me blush! I'll make sure you aren't on the list of people to kill when I take over the world.

[QueenMJade89]

oh wow. amazing.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@QueenMJade89 Thank you!

[JustJB2010]

O.o

[Burori1]

Truly beautiful singing Q A Q

[IsItTheBagel]

Wow I'm speechless

[oceanyingtonic]

what do the other applications have on this vid? ...nothing

[RocktheSocks]

Really? This doesn't have more views then that?

If your funny submission wasn't accepted, this would've totally been on the DVD. And it would have been better than the majority if not all of the ones there.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@RocktheSocks Thanks for that. I really like this piece, and I've though about changing the words to something a little less cheesy and re-releasing it at some point.

[RocktheSocks]

@KindnessGrewUp ,

Ha. I share this account with a friend who's also a Dr. Horrible fan. I just noticed that she posted below using this account. Small world.

Although I know little to nothing about music, the lyrics sound fine to me. It is a little cheesy, but you can easily get away with it, considering this is inspired by Dr. Horrible. Dr. Horrible is all about punny puns and cliches.

Great voice. Great performance. Great music.

[gabee594]

Is there an MP3 download link for this? it's kind of amazing.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@gabee594 Thanks for the kind words, it is up on my website. Youtube won't let me post a link here, but if you type in markblasco followed by a dot calm (you know what I'm sayin'), you'll get there, and it is on the audio page.

[soulleader9]

Hey I was wondering I wa looking for inspiration for a book , and this video inspired. May I use the character as the main character in my story

[KindnessGrewUp]

@soulleader9 Sure, no problem. Just send me a copy when it's done!

[Kaizerworks]

2 people have nothing now.

[Zeadman1]

This guy already wone with Mr Terrable....

[RocktheSocks]

I don't know if I have commented on this before.

But it is so. flipping. cool. Lyrics are brilliant, music is great. The whole thing is spot on and I love it.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@RocktheSocks Thanks!

[TheMooseSociety]

This is like.....orgasmic. PLEASE write for broadway.....now?

[KindnessGrewUp]

@TheMooseSociety I'd love to do it. If you are related to anyone important in the broadway world, let them know.  Either that, or send me lots of money. Now that I've thought about it, let's just do the second thing.

[MavrikM100]

haha, nice. any inspiration from Sweeney Todd?

[preachermuaddib]

Absolutely legendary mate, I'm a performer based in the UK and while I doubt our styles would mesh I want to stay I would be honoured to share a stage with you.

Masses of respect!

[sabbatdark]

Dude, you so deserve a seat on the ELE. Bad horse, move over.

[SabinaLuft]

Can I just say that you are amazing?

[KindnessGrewUp]

@SabinaLuft Yes, I will give you permission to say that if you would like! Thanks for the compliment, please check out my newest video if you like this one, it is dark and slightly evil as well, just in a different way.

[preachermuaddib]

Truly fantastic, captured the heart of the musical.

I am very impressed

[KindnessGrewUp]

@preachermuaddib

I'm glad you like it, check out the new one I posted a few days ago, it is another dark musical number.

[preachermuaddib]

@KindnessGrewUp

I checked it out, it was wonderfull, I love this piece so much thought I posted again ;-)

[CapnD]

...I can't stop listening to this. What do we have to do to get something, ANYTHING, else from you?

[KindnessGrewUp]

@CapnD Unfortunately, I've been busy remodeling the house, building a new studio, putting together a video for the UW, and having a baby (although my wife certainly helped with the last part), but I've got several ideas burning in my head, and I've started working on a couple, so hopefully I'll have something new soon.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@CapnD I just put up a new song called Drop Of Rain, which is another with a dark/evil vibe to it (and it's about turning into a zombie...sort of). Check it out!

[Loravyre]

A lot of people heap praise upon you but I... feel nothing...

Just kidding. This is an amazing piece. I like it more than your "winning entry", but I guess as someone else said it's too serious for the ELoE. I love your voice in it, it is really used for excellent effect.

[KindnessGrewUp]

@Loravyre I like this one better than the winning song as well. This is one of my favorites from the last few years. Thanks for the compliments!

[biop123]

THis story line sorta reminds me of the movie" man with the movie camera" But i like it.. Pure Awesome

[TheSirius333]

Sweet

[themousethatroared]

This gives me chills every time I watch. Wonderful work.

[Donteatacowman]

Ohhh my goodness. This is amazing. So sad, serious, dramatic, and striking. Very villainous indeed. And you apparently lip-synced this all in one take... Wow. Excellent job.

[sidewaysjsideways]

this is the best one

[lasotas]

so dude, when's the broadway musical coming out that you wrote? ;)

[KindnessGrewUp]

@lasotas I just posted another musical style song. It may not be on broadway, but the internet is close enough, right?

[DavidJoh]

Obviously not funny enough to be in an organization called the Evil League of Evil. But an excellent character in his own right, well presented.

[CobaltBlueProduction]

I think this is one of the best applications I've seen. Visually impacting, gorgeous voice, compelling story. I got chills at the end, even...most excellent, Nothing.

[EmeraldSky33]

Whoa. I LOVE this. I'm a big fan of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and certain parts of Into the Woods because that dark, chilling style moves me more than any other. And your voice is... WOW. Thank you for so much for posting!

[asharathehailer]

This was absolutely fantastic. Perfect voice, completely stunning acting and powerful lyrics. I was moved and I keep listening over and over. Keep up the good work!

[ThatTallRedHead]

I watched this video twice and I've listened to it about 2 more times. This is fantastic.

I don't know why I enjoy it so much but, the concept, the story, and your vocals make it eerie, calming, but angering all at the same time.

Great story, great song!

[CrouchingTigress]

That last line was amazing - my favorite part.

"When you find the time to call me, you can call me Nothing"

Awesome.

[divalea]

Fantastic! Your vocals are terrific, the song tells the story, and I think you rocked the simplicity of the video work.

It reminds me a lot of "Everything You Ever Wanted," straight out drama, no ha-ha.

Well done!

[WeirdFro]

this reminds me of sweeney todd (as Zen876 said) and, in the beginning and end, you look like rorschach

[WeirdFro]

Amazing? i think yes! they let you submit 2 videos for the ele application thing?

[Zen876]

amazing... reminds me of sweeney todd

[zelda7792]

This is just absolutely fantastic. It actually made me feel chills down my spin.

[Amberfang]

:O

YOUR VOICE IS AWESOME.

[Kazul9923]

Wow, that was fantastic. From one singer to another, your voice was flawless through the whole thing, no cracks, no weak spots, nice and clean. I'm loving the back story too, you have a reason for being evil!

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks for the kind words. I put a lot of effort into this one, and it is one of my favorite pieces as of late. I took about 3 takes for the vocals, and comped together a couple of parts. The video was the hardest part, since I'm not an actor, so I did about 15 takes of that before getting one that I liked.

[mb613]

That was FANTASTIC! I loved your other application too, but this was great!

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks! This was my favorite of the two, and I listen to this one a lot more than the other one. There is just something about it which I feel resonates a little more than the other.

[kerbeto]

Dude this is crazy. Your mightyily magic, you got a great singing voice, and really good talent. Go out and sieze the world with your music before its too late Lad. Before its too late!!!!

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks for that. I fully intend to keep putting out music, and I have a lot of different types of stuff posted on my website. If all goes well, I will have more videos coming before the middle of the year (I don't own a video camera, so I have to jump that hurdle first)

[kerbeto]

Ok, id love to see more, this is all really good.

[Skylermystwood]

Okay, I'm not usually one to post comments on Youtube or anything, but seriously... you got talent, dude. I've seen both your applications to the E.L.E., and it's no wonder you got first place on the dvd. You score a thumbs up times two.

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks for the kind words.

[deebaser]

sick application. one of my favorites.

[kw5ttl]

It's like an opening song to a Broadway musical and now i want to see the rest... please? xD

[KindnessGrewUp]

I am starting work on a musical, but considering that writing music is not my full time gig, it is most likely going to take quite a while.

[tatewaki2000]

Love the lyrics.  You are an awesome singer.

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks for the kind words!

[dominictemple]

Excellent stuff

[runescape332]

you're going to get famous!

[cricket801]

wow, terrific! great voice and chilling back-story. good luck!

[KindnessGrewUp]

Thanks for that. I was trying to write something a little more serious, and that would give you a real sense of why the character is evil, while making it easy to feel sympathy for him.

[CestTamora]

Also wonderful! You have an amazing voice. :) Good luck, my fellow evildoer!

-L'Enfant Terrible

[OShea42]

Wow. That was really impressive. Awesome song too.
