Nina, Lauren, and Ryan at HHS Unplugged. Song is "Just Pretend" by The Bens! And yes, I'm aware that I am not a man and have issues with those low notes.

Trained voices find it more difficult to rock out. You have to sing as if you were talking your song. Not as if you had a pineapple up your arse and are trying to please the queen. Get it? No. Most people who get formal training never "get it". This world is full of conventional American Idol type singers who try to be perfect instead of trying to be themselves. Use your accent. Annunciate your syllables the way you do when you talk, not like a British imperialist.

I'm not sure anyone "has to" sing exactly how you tell them to. Just because you think it sounds better when people are untrained doesn't mean you have the authority to tell people how not to sing. I'm not sure you "get it".

[Cr8zyCanuck]

You are contradicting yourself. Simply by stating people shouldn't sound "original" you're inferring a bias toward the more classical pronunciation. Good job sir. Would you like that shaken not stirred?

[devilishlypure]

I haven't stated that people shouldn't sound original. Everyone has biases, but everyone also has the option to sing the way that they want to. What makes you above that?

I did enjoy the performance and the timing is solid. However, the girl in the orange can't sing and the piano sounds a bit out of tune. Just minor complaints otherwise good performance.

[Cr8zyCanuck]

No I get it. I was formally trained as well.
