Doctor J Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Marcella would put a US National Anthem singer to shame, there. That was textbook over-singing, delivered with as much emotion as ordering takeaway on a Friday evening. Other than that... not too bad, I suppose.

Seems he's knee deep in a new, all-consuming musical project. Well, that's what he said. It's probably because he just hates us all with a savage passion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't sound too bad to me at all. Considering even the recorded version was a screechy, whiney vocal in the first place, I think it was a reasonable reproduction for a live performance. Maybe it's been through auto tune since the original airing!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I didn’t think it was that bad, sure the high pitched stuff was a bit too present in the mix for me, but I thought it was much like the recording, just less well mixed/balanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked the band back in the day but I used to really fancy their bass player, Claire Kenny! Good bass player too. Played for quite a few pop acts back in the 80s and played a lovely Aria SB just like mine. Wonder if she’s still playing? She still tours with Sinéad O’Connor...

How many of us heard them doing it live first time around? I doubt it differs too greatly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Howler Monkeys Are Suing Shakespear's Sister And You Won't Believe Why AP Reporter: 05/17/2019 Updated 01:15 CAT - Guatemala Shakespear's Sister are in hot water. After the re-booted pop stars faced a tsunami of backlash for their 'buttock-clenching TV performance' the tuneless duo have now come under fire from a troop of Guatemalan Howler Monkeys. Lawyers for the monkeys today called a press conference in Guatemala City, accusing Shakespear's Sister of cultural appropriation. Said chief lawyer Inigo Montoya: "Our blameless simian clients are shocked, hurt and appalled at the way Shakespear's Sister have offensively appropriated traditional Howler Monkey howling noises. If it wasn't privilege-driven cultural theft it was mocking monkey-ist bigotry. They can't have it both ways but we can." The Guatemalan lawyer added: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die". Ends. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
