Live vs. recorded music - Nubblies.net Forums

So the other morning, I was sitting in my chair with a hand down my pants watching good morning America. They have this 17 year old kid singing and it sounded absolutely dreadful. Of course, the wife starts signing this song along with this country Justin Bieber. I explained to her how awful this kid sounded and she told me it's okay, because he sounds great on his recorded tracks.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but even Jay Z can make me sound halfway decent in the studio. If you can't sing live and sound good, you suck as a musician and a singer, IMO. Well, she said that all music sounds better recorded, which might be the case, but the bands I go see live normally sound amazing in concert. Maybe it's just the atmosphere, but it seems like rock music survives the transition.

So I ask you, If you can't sing live, but sound great recorded, do you still suck? Felix is probably the man for this job, but since Gaz is obviously behind the times, I can't tag him and I think it's bullshit. @felix

P.S. Heard the song on our trip and he still sounded awful. No talent pussy. He's probably gay to and just wasting this fame on his bodyguard.

Yes - you wouldn't believe what can be done in an editing room, though that video is quite accurate to what a great sound engineer is able to do.

If someone can't perform live doesn't mean their not talented. If they write the music and it's good.

That being said, Justin Beiber is talentless.
