Haha.

I loved that segment where Patti was complaining about Aretha's lack of appreciation at ... I can't remember the event.

And revisiting this post:



This Adam talk reminded me of how much I love these two E5s.

Hey! No fair! He's totally in mixed for those two notes (well, maybe now the second, but definitely the first).

You're seriously going to put 1D against Adam Lambert? Really?

They aren't fit to sniff his jocks. The talent level gap is lightyears wide.

Too bad he's not anywhere near them on the charts. But you are free to bet on the wrong horse. You did It last Idol season :)

Weren't you banned like 60% of that week? Maku Wuhu could never cheat so hard. You should be forced to resume stanning for 4 additional days.

Carrie please, I was so dedicated I didn't even break character in Tinychat.

MY SOUL CANNOT TAKE A DAY MORE

Again, I don't care about charts. I bet on talent. And they aren't in the same galaxy.

Now you bring shitty Scotty in this? Wow, wow...

I guess you like singers with zero range or actual singing ability. I'm not sure how to respond.

What is with this wig mess. Also really Adam in this thread? And people slam me for One Direction.

I don't like Adam because I want to fuck him
or because I even like more than a couple songs he's done :|
, though! I just think he has a great voice.

That's why I like Kris.

Well, yeah. Guys can't get that high without a pretty obvious mix, falsetto, or screaming.

Shame you don't care how well your man Is doing. What kind of stan are you. And seeing as you stan for Adam I doubt you know singing ability.

You should know this by now: Delio doesn't stan based on actual talent with these boys...

Ok what the fuck are you talking about? Seriously calling your ass out now.

That's the most fucktarded statement I've seen on GAF in years.

Have you forgotten the topic the started an argument about slurs from only two days ago?

... Though that was pretty dumb. Adam's got his relatively minor problems but... compared to 1D it's sort of like comparing Avril to Beyonce.

True.

Though you know, it was never really Glambert's range that impressed me - though it definitely is impressive. It's how fucking seamlessly he can transition from chest to mix to head. Because I can hit an E5 mixed - most baritones can. But can I transition mid-phrase into that shit??? Ch...

I'm perfectly fine dear. Nothing stressful about watching my boys step all over the lessors.

They all look like they smell of gym socks, farts, and random shit they caught in the woods and put in their back pocket. Especially that blond one.

Except for the talent part, huh? I watched their whole XFactor season. My ears already heard them live. ;)

Their best ability was picking management who knew how to manipulate little girls on social media.

So they smell like typical men?

So you judge them by then and instead of now. Mmk

Also I bet Adam wished he had management that could pimp him.

I always thought his range itself was less impressive than his ability to actually stay up in the low-mid fifth octave for pretty extended periods. More the unusually high placement of his voice, basically. I know that there are lots of rock male vocalists who've been able to get that high in mix, but I can only think of a handful that actually sound "correct" or healthy that high.

His vocal agility - runs and transitions - has always been very impressive, yes. This is probably the best performance I can think of offhand for that. They're everywhere. From about 3:41 - 3:49 and then 3:50 - 4:02 is amazing.

And completely show-off and pointless but I get the impression that he wasn't quite sober

I'd be willing to believe Delio's claims that 1D are actually musically or artistically compelling in any way (as opposed to being a cynically marketed male equivalent of the Spice Girls) if he hadn't made clear his attraction to twinky guys in the gay thread. Can't wait for their Pepsi concert and inevitable fade into obscurity and reality show judging.

So because I like twinks my claims are fake. mm k Interesting shade.

"Skream also revealed that he is working with Kelis on a new song too, saying: "I just had a record for Kelis, a UK garage record. It’s getting a UK release so I guess it’ll get an American release. Its called ‘Distance’."

OH MY GOD!!!! YES!!! YES!!!

Erm I know nobody acts like they exist, but your beloved twink band can't even surpass The Wanted on the singles charts, so it looks to me they're the lessors here. Plus has The Wanted's album even dropped in America? I got a feeling your faves are about to lose their short-lived wigs.

From my perspective, 1D seems to have better marketing. I keep hearing about them everywhere.

The Wanted just has a the hotter single out there but that seems to be it. I dont hear any buzz about them.

Since the wanted has Jay, that makes them superior in my eyes.

I don't even know why he brought the wanted to me. I stanned for them and 1D before anything. Well...I stan for Nathan leaving The Wanted and joining 1D.

I don't get the marketing for The Wanted. They want to push them as a "older" boy band but It just comes off weird.

Also I bet Adam wished he had management that could pimp him.

I judge them against Adam's obviously greater musical/vocal ability. Then and now. Nothing has changed.

I don't care who pimps Adam. When sales is all you have, I can see why you would.

Based on talent, I can't see how you can have this conversation. Stanning is one thing, but there is no debate here. Those boys sing about as well as Beiber, which is to say not very well.

They coast on being a boy band, which 9 times out of ten is never based on talent. JT is the One Exception.


LIke them because you think they're cute, but never take it further.

Hey I'll take It anywhere I like. I suppose you might have trouble handling that though. And again you judge based on Xfactor and nothing current. So forgive me If I don't really take anything you say as relevant.
