To my followers - I’ve let my duties slip. Posting daily is harder than it appears. Watching dozens of videos, many of which are down-right painful - is also harder than I expected.
Hope to be back on task soon. There are certainly no supply problems. Maybe I just need to change the schedule from one a day to whenever I get around to it…
Stay tuned.
Christophorus Kantorei
The Martial Music version. I keep expecting to hear triumphant trumpets and war drums.
Guitar Tutor Man
I really wish Guitar Tutor Man had a cape, a guitar shaped mask, and a superhero costume with a letter G emblazoned on the front. I also think this video is incomplete without the ”follow the bouncing ball” lyrics along the bottom of the screen.
Sheryl Crow
Sheryl seems to be in a hurry to get through the song - which is too bad, because her voice and interpretation are otherwise lovely.
Cafame
A high school buddy band? I have no idea, but a better version than many. The down tempo and simple harmonies on the chorus work pretty well and the lead has an unpretentious voice; but dudes, the candles are just silly.
Bobi Andanov
I know I already posted one version by this kid, but this can’t be ignored ( plus I’m pressed for time today so I’m being half assed about my responsibilities to all 6 or 7 of you faithful followers - forgive me ).
Anyway - IMO, vocal gymnastics should be left to more talented and more experienced singers who might be able to pull them off without rendering the song so nearly unrecognizable. I guess this is impressive to TV audiences… or teenagers who confuse “cute” with “talented”…?
Whatever - Kid, you’re trying way, way too hard.
Regina Spektor
Regina’s odd voice does some strange things to this song. I’m not saying it’s bad.
Ah, the old multitrack, a cappella video. Very original. Bobby Mcferrin should be doing penance.
Bob Dylan
As Leonard mentioned in yesterday’s video, Dylan was doing this cover version quite a while before anyone else.
Dylan makes it a Dylan song.
It’s what he does.
The man himself talks about Hallelujah.
