well the singers sound way stronger in person... the drummer....mmm mmmm mmmmmmmm hotness! too bad he's so hidden...

[Jazman1942]

wow, kudos to this group for still working. Kudos to them on their polished band. Hass is a big name in the drum world.

By the sound of their vocals I'm really not sure they should still be out there. It's nice to see artists that know when their day has come and gone. This isn't the type of music that is forgiving when a vocalist is out of tune. Here you have 4 vocalists out of tune, and too loud. Maybe if the sound technician mixed them with the band, the bad singing wouldn't be so obvious.

I wish they live 4ever!!

I saw them perform this song last night, and it was way better than this, so I'm guessing either this was kind of an off-night for them, or maybe something is lost in the video. Paul and Hauser might be losing their voices just a little, but Siegel and Bentyne (the girls) are still 100% for sure.

This song called `Sina´ performed by the great Djavan

@Drumfreke Listening to it again I do see your point. Oh dear. Oh well, I'll stick with the original.

[Drumfreke]

Funny how some people need to put down other musicians. You really think this sounds better than most groups? You're deaf. Sure at one point in the late 70s-80s they were very good. That's irrelevant. If a singer stops caring and isn't talented enough to maintain their level of musicianship, they should retire. End of story Keith. If they want to keep going, they need to lock themselves up in a room and practice.

[Drumfreke]

@AcousticUplift No that's a livesound if I have ever heard one. Not playback. I agree with some of these comments. I pay good money to hear the bands I love reproduce their material in a live setting. These singers have no respect for music. I understand being off your game, but this song was released in 1987. Meaning they have been performing it for 20 years. There are plenty of acts who are older that still sound great. Professional people in any field do not do their jobs this poorly.

Not getting any younger, to be sure, but after the Manhattan Transfer have been dead for a week they'll still sing better than most groups.

[AcousticUplift]

@Jazman1942 I don't think it's so terrible. Not as much as some comments on here suggest. I think they're singing over playback anyway. It could be better but it's passable. Not bad considering they're clearly getting on in age.

@klwewf there are plenty of example of this group sounding awful on here.

[OddMeeter]

@jrlaven48 Gifted singers sound good. This sounds terrible. How do you figure? The studio is filled with options to make even the worst singers and musicians sound good. Live performance tells all. They make Taylor Swift look like Aretha Franklin.
