You all can say what you want about Jimmy sounding like Jeff (blah, blah, blah....such a booooooring, drawn-out topic), but the point is, the man can sing, and with a passion that 9/10 artists out there today do NOT have. So what if he sounds reminiscent of Buckley or Bono or Yorke...I can think of a million other worse artists to be compared to. Jimmy Gnecco's voice is sublime with or without comparison.
okay. he has a GREAT voice. it's a terrible shame, however, that he is completely ripping off jeff buckley's vocals...and...well...he sounds like bono too. :( annnd i'm afraid the band's songs are mostly mediocre too from what i've heard.
obviously you've never listened to jeff buckley sing before then...
the opinion that jimmy gnecco sounds like jeff buckley (with a dash of thom yorke and bono, for that matter) is widely discussed, not only by fans on the internet, but by critics as well. (check reviews on iTunes or rollingstone for that matter.) i even watched a video on youtube of jimmy discussing jeff and meeting him and recognizing how much they sounded alike.
Obviously you're wrong, considering I own every Buckley CD and over 300 MP3s of him. SOUNDING like someone and RIPPING OFF SOMEONE'S STYLE are TWO COMPLETELY different things.
Buckley's style is so completely different from Jimmy's it's not even funny, and I find it even funnier when uneducated people talk as if they know anything about vocals. Like I give a fuck what the critics say.. critics also say Nirvana was good and Kurt could sing. Hah.
that would be because that kind of stuff is all up to opinion. one person may find what kurt cobain did genius, while others still may find it to be horrible. the same thing applies to what people hear when they listen to someone's voice. some people may pick up on things that other people don't realize until it's pointed out. and people may have differing opinions on those things.
i happen to think that there are style similarities in the way jeff and jimmy sing. i can't imagine those things are purely coincidental considering the brief history the two shared. and it is, of course, obvious the two don't sound EXACTLY alike. that's a given. the similarities, however, are too obvious to discount and merely say that they simply sound alike, in my opinion.
also, i'm not sure who you're aiming at with the uneducated comments, but a)these are comments on the internet; anyone can CLAIM they are educated on vocals or anything else for that matter. and it's open to anyone with an opinion anyway.
and b)people always disagree with critics. because once again, it's all a matter of opinion. but when critics, whose job it is to listen to music and write about it, point out these kinds of things, i'm afraid they have a little more expertise on the subject than any random person posting on a video on youtube.
The usual music critic's credentials are that they've been in a band that wasn't good enough to make it out of their dad's garage, so what do they know. :D
hahaha are you sure your ears work, cuz i and a lot of people agree with this "idiot" Jimmy can sing, but once he hits those higher notes, the falsetto range-- total Buckley. but, you know everything and everyone else is an idiot.
really. just listened to the jt version, and likely woulda passed it by. but jimmy can pull out a melody and make you *really* listen to a song. he is a genius...and that voice, that voice!

Why are they laughing? He's intentionally being *funny* and trying to make them laugh. That pretty much explains it. :P
