To those who complain... It's not only about age but first of all fatigue... Touring for singers like him is a a killer... Plus consider DT long time shows 2hrs+ sometimes... As for his age and all factors affecting his voice RESPECT 👍
Sure, tours are a killer. But it's not really the problem. He would sing so much better, if he'd establish a proper diaphragmic support, released the tension from his neck and get that breathing under control. He has plenty bad habits that will wear him down on shows, slow down recovery and make him sound out of tune; usually in this case flat, because lack of diaphragmic support. Don't get me wrong, he can sing and he has plenty of experience from the road and is professional in his business. But in vocal technique, he does same bad habits what beginning singers do; myself included, before I started practicing seriously vocal techniques. His overall habits make his singing incredibly unoptimized and it also makes his singing sound very weird and hard to understand at a times. Let's not bother with the food poisoning thing. I've had severe food poisonings, long lasting flus (as of right now), aggressive covids that made me screamcough my lungs out for weeks and my voice did recover every time. The food poisoning just cracked his vocal chords due to extreme bad habits he had prior to it. He also did insanely bad choices against doctors' orders by going on tours, even though his voice needed rest. In other words, I don't believe the food poisoning being the only reason his voice got nearly FUBAR. He could totally get his voice in awesome condition, if he'd delve into Bel Canto and ditch these bad habits. I'd be sure he would feel better singing this stuff. Now I bet he sees lots of stars and booming headaches after every song, because of all that hypertension. Trust me, I did the same before and it isn't exactly fun.
@@Anonyomus As far as I know before Awake tour, he's got food poisoning, but he pushed still in tour his voice and caused irreparable voice damage. That time was hard for him. He had a bad moment and thinking about to quit. However non of us can verify full details as per his voice damages, we don't have any access to his doctor records. We can only speculate...Along it's difficult basically heart breaking thing to do criticise someone who undoubtedly signed in history of progressive metal music. I would say maybe... He is still far better then Axle Rose who definitely shouldn't go on stage anymore and respectively accepts his voice condition and abilities...
Dear James ... I'm a DT fan from Rome, Italy ... thanks for all the emotions your voice gave and still give to us ... When my beloved father passed away in November 2013, I played The Spirit Carries On at the church exit. There were so many people, friends, relatives, colleagues ... and the notes of that wonderful song echoed in the air ... it was an unforgettable moment. Thank you James, thank you Dream Theater for giving us this immortal music.
I should address this post to Mike Portnoy if I were you, he wrote it for his dad who was dying of cancer at the time. Mike even sang and recorded the demo and was lucky to be able to share it with his father while he was still alive. Take care, brother. 🤘🏻❤️
James, I am the mother of the Jackson boys that lost thier dad in 2010. What an AWESOME thing for you to do for us!! We're looking forward to seeing ya'll on Dec. 6th in Nashville. Last time I met all of you was in Atlanta 20 years ago.
LaBrie could easily compete in the olympics of singing and win. The long shows and tours, need I say the length of an average DT song? Absolutely brilliant, iconic vocalist, the fact that his voice is still rocking after decades with DT is just mind blowing.
I do respect his performance considering his age. But the problem I have with JLB is that he's always been slightly off-tune. It's killing my ears every times
We are so blessed to have great "youtube masters" to teach us how to do things right. Right??? This was ironic, because I can't see any vid yours. So child, change Ur diappers 'cause the real master, James LaBrie is doing a beautiful Acapella!!!

Exactly.
He did not play so much for the last two years… (covid)… 🤷🏻♂️
@@dieguldukat Count how many years he was singing overall 😉I didn't talk about last 2 years? 🤔

@@1979GenXdudeboth of them ( as well as the rest of the band and their crew) have helped, but Thanks for the beatiful story
Even acapella it gives me the chills. Simply awesome.
Good to hear his voice in better shape.
Beautiful!
This was my cameo for my family lol sounds great!
Coolest thing EVER!!!!
You paid money for this?
@@MrGIJuu Yes they did
He still does this amazingly bright.
Amazing! 🙏🏻🤘🏻🙌🏻

I'm meeting them in December 11 texas. You get to see them 5 days early lucky
@@austin5732 I’ll see you there lol
Love it
Big voice.
La mejor voz, si él nada sería igual, genio
LaBrie could easily compete in the olympics of singing and win.

Absolutely brilliant, iconic vocalist, the fact that his voice is still rocking after decades with DT is just mind blowing.
Emotional!
I bought this cameo he’s singing this for my dead father lol, love this guy.
Back in the day, he sings the the chorus of this song with chest voice.
Wow hitting that A above middle C with chest voice? That's nuts
Parts like "cause" (I believe) were mixed instead of head, but no way he was singing entirely in chest voice.
That was freaking beatiful
I cried, but I won't tell you why.
If you wrote it like that its easy...
You used to be a woman in a past life and just learned your girlfriend, who was a man, was the one who murdered you in that past life??
Deep bro.
@@willacewallace5905 That sounds too much like Metropolis Pt. II. I'll pass. 😂
That vein in his neck.. wow
Amaizing..
This guy has six packs in his vocal chords
Fuckin love James laBrie
,to najlepšie je za nami bohužiaľ
oh my sweetie!
So many entertainment from these videos
How on earth some guys here in the comments say he's terrible? Guess you're all voice teachers right?
This is incredible and terrible all at the same time!
Why terrible
Omg
I do respect his performance considering his age. But the problem I have with JLB is that he's always been slightly off-tune. It's killing my ears every times
Praying for Portnoy to come back as the lead singer 🙏🏻♥️
My ears are bleeeeding...
Neighbours be like “can you turn down the fucking music James?”
They thought a cat was being murdered.
@@dixienormous2440 xD
Pensa ai vicini...
× 1.25
lol
Well it's... Horrible
😟
Please, no...
Haha he's a great singer but these acapella clips are terrible and laughable ,
Thank you singing teacher
This cameo was for my family and I and we thought it was great, thanks for your opinion though 😁
We are so blessed to have great "youtube masters" to teach us how to do things right. Right??? This was ironic, because I can't see any vid yours. So child, change Ur diappers 'cause the real master, James LaBrie is doing a beautiful Acapella!!!
Tnx for everything James but is time to quit....
Holy Jesus that's horrible
