Yuck!

@nairda37 I agree that Luke is probably heading down a dead end road with his modelling. But I suppose he's only a young bloke who's trying his hand at a few things to see what cuts it and it what doesn't, and it looks, at this stage, like modelling doesn't. Singing his originals seems to be the go at the moment, seems to be the area he's getting the most positive feedback. Who knows if he'll get anywhere, but at least there be no what ifs? Cause he's given it his best shot, and thats admirable.

@TheAlan39 I actually completely agree. To be honest, I'm a convert. The first time I saw introvert I thought it was hilarious rubbish, but it's actually really catchy and I've now watched the video heaps of times. It's entertaining which is what the industry is all about. I just really don't like all the modelling photos...Really bad taste and unnecessary

@nairda37 I see what you're saying now. You make a good point. I suppose I just get a bit defensive on Luke's Behalf because, in my view, the constant negativity directed at him regarding his performances is undeserved. He's no way near as bad as some people infer and he sings in tune when he's singing his own songs and can be quite entertaining.

@TheAlan39 I'm not having a go at the live performance. I'm suggesting there is no need for the lead vocals to be in unison on the backing track. He can obviously sing it without it and it makes it sound like there are timing issues which wouldnt be an issue if it didnt have the lead vocal on the backing track

[TheAlan39]

@nairda37 To be fair though, it's rare for any live performance to be absolutely perfect. If you ruthlessly analysed any live performance you'd find fault in it.

Luke stayed pretty much in tune throughout the duration of this song as he did with his recent performances of "introvert extrovert". But it still seems to be the thing to do to be negative towards him even when there is no real justification for it.

terrible. just terrible.

[nairda37]

also it makes it sounds weird when you don't end your notes at the same time as your backing track. i'm referring to 1:48

[nairda37]

just a tip. your backing track is in unison with your vocals at times which is unecessary and means that often you are out of time. sounds heaps better when the backing is a response or a harmony

Woo! good stuff !!
