Wow... I mean Wow!

So this is what tuning vocals has taken us to for live performance...?

Yikes!

Just caught the second number... Just as bad.

What does the person mixing that live think?

I wonder if the rebroadcast will be "fixed"...

I think I kinda get what he's going for... I'd like to hear the album version because clearly he's not much for singing live.

I have no problem with what he's going for with the tuning/vocoder thing. I just can't believe how bad his singing is.

And what's going on with the dropped words in places like :37-:40 seconds? Are the notes too high for him?

I swear, it's like nobody told him it's a bad idea to listen to the tuner when you're singing. Either that, or he's just that awful.

The "remix" will be much better I'm sure.

My money is on the latter...and he's a pompous a** to boot.

Yeah, NBC is pretty quick on the draw with that stuff.

Can you watch full episodes anywhere of that?
