It's so absolutely weird that you guys played it in 3/4 when it's a 4/4 song. It mostly worked, but you definitely had a few lines to rush through at light speed!!
For all the people bashing this cover, I thought it was pretty good. I mean, Alex's singing is a little off (understandably), but it sounded great. Singing live is hard, especially after doing a whole set, and people need to realize that a cover isn't supposed to sound exactly like the original and whoever's singing it should have some creative freedom, like speeding up the tempo.
I wanted to give it a chance but these guys fell into the common cover trap of speeding up the tempo and calling it a day. She was better than him but she had a bit more range for one. Also it sounded like she new the song alot better than he did... missed the mark.
And too all of you fans out there, don´t just trow all you got on ppl just becose they critisice someone, the best way to improve is to strengheng youre weeknes and those how critisice often have some points.
Last of all too you guitarr guy take the critism right, I critisice becose I DO LIKE what they are doing and if I see a way wich i think would make it better I ll say it to try too help. Most ppl think like me, they are only trying to help.
Guys. If you think she can't sing this song, look at her other video singing this. It's just as live and totally great.
You can't base an opinion on one performance of one song.
So get over yoursleves
I doubt many of you perform at your own shows or have written and produced your own albums. Let alone have the balls to put this all on the internet for the ridicule of the likes of you.
Sorry I don't sound like Felicia Day. I wasn't trying to. I'm of the opinion that covers shouldn't sound like the originals, so even if people have different vocal styles than the people who sang it first, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do your own thing with it. Whether you like it or not is your deal.
@devilishlypure I guess I'm coming into this quite late, but I just found this. :-) You don't sound like Felicia Day, but your voice is great. Except for the fact that dude couldn't stay on the mic, this is one of the better covers I've seen. It seems to me that the tempo was a little off. Or maybe that's just because of your different style. I'm not sure. But given that it was live, and that live is never perfect, this was great.

Girl: You keep missing notes. It kind of sounds like you're yelling it. You're flat. Taking the song slower would help a lot. This song is almost ballad like. It's suppose to not only convey Dr. Horrible's anger to the world, but Penny's joy. Her voice needs to have a sense of hope and a bit of being smitten to it, which is something that's pretty hard to achieve that quickly. Jst don't make it so aggressive.

Guitair Man: WHOA! Take the tempo down a bit.
It would really help you to have a much more solid sound. You sound whispy. It needs to be a bit more full voice. The girl does a pretty good job with this, so it makes the song seem somewhat backwards. Normally the guy needs to have the fuller sound.
When the duet hits, you kind of start sounding like an angsty emo. :) (Check out The Emo Song to get what I mean)
I shouldn't have to take this kind of criticism. Taking constructive criticism, however, would help me out. If people are just telling me that I suck, how is that constructive at all?
I agree, certain people are being rude. But there are a few things that you can take from them though. Perhaps you shoud ignore the BS and improve your game if you're a serious musician.
I am constantly improving my game... I practice for hours every day because I love playing guitar and singing. But it is definitely really fun taking my anger out on people who have nothing better to do than to harrass me on YouTube... it's way more productive than bottling it up because then it might accidentally end up in the direction of people who don't deserve it.

Wow that was bad. They didn't keep the beat to well. The guy couldn't sing into the mic, and the chick just can't sing, she sounds flat all the way through.
I don't use a studio; I record everything myself. And I seem to be doing just fine. Nobody's making you listen to me so why you're being such an ass is beyond me.
Pimpinkdark 7 omg! stop being so close minded and learn who she is before you start dissing her, she has thousands upon thousands of fans who love her because she CAN sing you idiot. I really hope you have an amazing voice that somehow gives you the right to critized people so horribly grow up!
I just have to say I didn't like the change of tempo, it really threw me for a loop. You and Alex did wonderfully regardless. I STILL don't know why I didn't go to the Wizard Rock Festival... *headdesk*
Not to be mean, but that guy just didn't come across as a very good singer/guitar player. I much preferred the Lauren & Nina version which blew me away. Sorry but this made me wince, probably cuz my expectations were so high...
It's on YouTube everywhere. If you're not crazy picky about getting the best quality, you can find it. It's not on Sidereel, I don't think. Just search "Dr Horrible" here and I'm sure it'll come up. Good luck!
Well Lauren, everyone-else-in-my-life-including-you wins this time. Just watched the thing. Spent $10 I shouldn't have spent on the soundtrack by way of itunes. Yeah it lives up to the hype. Love it! love you and Nina performing this! Love you and Alex performing this! ugh, just love I tell you!
Yay, Dr.Horrible! =) I can imagine it's a demanding song to sing (what with even Alex being nervous...), and you both did an awesome job! You two sound great together!

your other cover of this is better. i liked nina better cause she looks like a female dr horrible. this guy looks like nick schwardson. can you do "brand new day"?
Lauren, I love you. Like, fersiriusly. :) Watching this made me happy, and I really hope I can go to Azkatraz and see you again!! I'll message you on fb when I know. ;)
Yea and it worked! I just rather the other =]! Oh and by the way, i still cant get things like accio bodyguard and guacamole ukulele outta my head for monthsss =D!
Nah, the tempo is way too off :/ It is nowhere near as melodic as it should be.

I'm not a musician at all, but i'll tell you what i think about this.
This is (i think) a VEY DIFFICULT song to sing (2 voices, with parts together, ect)
BUT
I found it really bad. I've seen some covers of this song on youtube, and i'm sorry to tell you so, this one was the worse...
