God she really can't sing at all. Most of todays pop stars would be screwed without computers.

You don't know what you're talking about. I'm far from a Katy Perry fan but it annoys the hell out of me when people deny the obvious talent of outrageously popular singers. Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, hell even Britney Spears; these are all very good singers. Just because you don´t like their stuff doesn´t mean they´re bad at what they do.

I've never heard the theremin sound as musical as this.

Are you kidding me? Did you watch the video? I have nothing against Katy Perry but she clearly can't sing which is made pretty apparent by the god awful sounding original version juxtaposed next to the auto tuned mess that is the final version.

I don't know what to tell you, she's singing pretty good.

This is amazing, this guy made a bass-playing device called MechBass. Here it is playing Hysteria by Muse.

It sounds like a synth bass but not as good. I'm not sure what's impressive about it, or what the point is, other than to get him his engineering degree.

what should i work on to become a more sophisticated/versatile guitar player?

Use a metronome when you practice. Learn songs, not riffs. Research all the parts and learn what's happening in them harmony/theory wise. Take some guitar lessons from an instructor with a music degree.

Also "I'm tone deaf" is a total cop-out. Just practise learning stuff by ear until you get better.

Is that guy's show basically just a platform for him to do gimmicky covers?

I wonder why this is so much more unsettling than a video of, for example, a bear or a big cat attacking a child. Is it just because we don't expect a bird of all things to have the gall to swoop down and take our kids?

Bowie isn't even that great a singer. His legacy is undeniable and he's got a great distinctive sound but he's pretty rough around the edges, let's be honest.

I made the unfortunate mistake of clicking a video reply to part 1 in the related videos sidebar, on the hopes that since it was well rated and had a lot of reviews that it wouldn't be terrible and poorly thought out.

I got through about a minute before I couldn't take anymore :smug: sneering. If you have endurance for terrible people and just want some angertainment, feminism versus facts.

:j: Women are objectified by being presented as property to be reclaimed in games.
:smuggo: But a woman punches a bad guy in the balls. No sexism there.


That lady's videos would be a lot more informative and meaningful if they included some debate, though.

Especially because she drops her bombshell of opinion that is entirely wrong as an irrefutable fact :can:

I'm mostly on board with her views but yes, her arguments have a very narrow focus and are often only half of the truth. That's why I'd enjoy seeing some opposing views and hearing some real discussion about them. It would probably help her message reach a bigger audience as well.

I recently rediscovered the song Push th' little daisies by Ween. Optimal blend of annoying and catchy, I recommend rocking out to it at least once a day.

She would know this if she actually bothered to do some research, since one can get all that from the ending and its not very subtle about it.

Her point still remains: women are nearly always portrayed as powerless. The significance of that is open to interpretation, of course.

Friday was a lame song, but it's actually not a BAD song. It's well produced and Rebecca Black isn't a bad performer.

Did we see the same Rebecca Black and the same Friday?
