He began with apologies that his band was not with him... for this song and the rest of the weekend - we saw that it did not matter. =) see his website for more info: www.jimmydemers.com
And I'll spare everyone my own music resume, but years ago I DID sing this song, many times, as part of a choir. Again, Jimmy's voice is fine, no complaint -- just don't like his choice to extend those notes. If it feels wrong, it doesn't matter what kind of vocal control he uses to do it.
Meh, this is not an industry message board and no one needs "qualifications" to make a remark! If the guy's holdin' a note too long -- he's holdin' a note too long. Go back, listen again, and keep your cheap shots to yourself. If you disagree, say so, but heaven forbid someone should call YOU a name too!
what is your background? are you even remotely qualified? why defend a moron? Let me break it down for you-there is something called vocal control which you are apparently unaware of. Jimmy has been around a lot longer than Clay Aiken so to use Clay as a reference is poor.
It is funny how people with very little background and no experience comment ike buffoons-you do not know enough about this business to make a valid comment.
What ignorant? Yes, he is a very competent singer -- but that is certainly a legitimate criticism. By doing that, he loses the tune. It's a little bit of cheap showmanship -- this guy is talented enough to make the song his own without having to wring something out of every vowel for goshsakes!
Awesome !
