you obviously haven't heard him live.... I have numerous times and I can assure you he most definately DOES still have it! In this clip when he shouts "guitar" he sounds croaky, that's not losing your ability to sing, that's having a bloody sore throat! We all get ill for goddness sake! I would just like to say that I agree with you, if you were judging by listening to this clip, you would think it's gone.... promise you it's a one off! ;-)

I agree. Midge has been touring non stop and of coarse it takes its toll on your voice. Our singer went through the same thing when we where on tour last year. Often caused by the stage levels and the singer have to push his voice over the top of the music to hear himself.I have seen midge Uvox live many times and their was not one gig i didnt enjoy. At least midge sings live. You would be surprised how many bands play to backing tracks and dont even sing live.

[hypnoticwarning]

Hes lost it. Age has effected his voice. its a shame coz he used to be a really goos singer.

[spottydogg]

True in some ways. He still has the talent to play and perform live...But the voice does struggle a bit live.

Also he only uses a bit of delay/Chorus on the vocal live with more natural effect... so at least you wont hear him sounding like cher (Alias Atares Autotune)

PS: you dont get many midge ures to the pound that can create so many great songs.

Legend in my books

Midge ure is the best love it and this song this song

[GJHughes999]

Well Midge you have not lost any talent. The voice and talent will not be forgotten. It is great to see this man and ultravox play their own instruments and not fabricated from TV. Midge and Ultravox rules forever.

what a crap...so bad compared to the original:(. But companies can't get enough money and locked it to german users. For what do they punish us?

[mortegi]

I have been lucky enough to meet Midge Ure.......They say never meet your heros......he is still my inspiration....just love the guy

[conradheidi]

one word................. BRILLIANT !!

[peterpetersnbg]

@hypnoticwarning i `de go and watch him with any chance i get when it comes a long.. ime sure the crowd enjoyed it and his voice doesnt sound that bad in fact its sounds good

[liebstmohnbroetchen]

Used to love him so much.

What a pity some do not find the right moment to leave the stage.

[bzyk1975]

Damn, people! He's still good! This is exactly the same old Midge! He's fantastic!

I saw Ultravox in Stockholm Apr 28 2010 and was quite worried how Midge would sound. I was totally stunned when his voice was as strong as ever and better in this clip. He really sounded fantastic live! He definitely still has THE Voice!! Love Midge forever!!!!

Gutes Lied und schöne Live-Version, doch die Qualität ist, mit Verlaub, beschissen.
