    The moment I wake up
    Before I put on my makeup
    I say a little pray for you
    While combing my hair now
    And wondering what dress to wear now
    I say a little prayer for you
    Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
    And I will love you
    Forever and ever, we never will part
    Oh, how I love you
    Together, forever, that's how it must be
    To live without you
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    I run for the bus, dear
    While riding I think of us, dear
    I say a little prayer for you
    At work I just take time
    And all through my coffee break time
    I say a little prayer for you
    Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
    And I will love you
    Forever and ever we never will part
    Oh, how I'll love you
    Together, forever, that's how it must be
    To live without you
    Would only mean heartbreak for me
    I say a little prayer for you
    I say a little prayer for you
    My darling, believe me
    (Believe me)
    For me there is no one but you
    Please love me too
    (Answer his pray)
    And I'm in love with you
    (Answer his pray)
    Answer my prayer now, babe
    (Answer his pray)
    Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
    And I will love you
    Forever and ever we never will part
    Oh, how I'll love you
    Together, forever, that's how it must be

      Thats right. But its ok I mean. In a room like this you dont hear the real sound directly. Ok if you have headphones or something. It would make me crazy on practice, but ok. What I guess is that they didnt give many attention to the women, more to the guy but than I dont know why he didnt hear it, I mean he played with them directly.
      The other question what I asked myself was wether they dont have a sound assisstand? I mean its a studio too isnt it? Definetly it is his job for to hear failors like this.

    At least one of the background singers needs a vocal coach to help with harmonizing. The lead singer is the show, so entertaining.

    The moment I wake up
    Before I put on my makeup
    I say a little prayer for you
    While combing my hair, now
    And wondering what dress to wear, now
    I say a little prayer for you
    Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
    And I will love you
    Forever and ever we never will part
    Oh, how I'll love you
    Together, together, that's how it must be
    To live without you
    Would only be heartbreak for me

    • @KeithCooper-Albuquerque
      @KeithCooper-Albuquerque 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think it's a bad mix mainly. They are right on the money on the intro. But Ghiba and Hayley are both right, something is off.

    • @thomasmitchell4494
      @thomasmitchell4494 5 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Actually, the notes of the harmonizations are on point, it‘s just not the main harmonization notes laymen people are used to. The issue they’re having is the dynamics of their singing - it sounded like they were screaming the whole time and fighting for the lead vocals. Instead of smooth blending, so it sounded sharp and flat in certain times

    • @Hayley-sl9lm
      @Hayley-sl9lm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@thomasmitchell4494 I just listened to the original for comparison and you're right, the notes are the same. It's just that the voices are very blended and sound like they're coming from far away (not sure what that is, reverb?) in the original -- the harsh edges get kind of smoothed out, so maybe these guys could have benefited from some effects or something. It seems like a really difficult part to sing, actually (probably harder than the standard lead melody of the song). They sound great at the beginning and in the "answer my prayer" refrain, don't mean to knock them I'm sure they're great singers.

  • @patatedoucebb2919
    @patatedoucebb2919 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The background singers aren't off key. The issue is that because kenton limits himself to ad libs, no one ends up singing the lead line, so it sounds off. They're actually singing their parts but the main note is missing.

    Impossible to know which part of this machine is the best! I think the piano player has experienced more joy in 2:59 than I have in decades-long stretches, the singer’s vocal, the harmonies of the back up singers (this song requires perfection from these three - and gets it in spades), the hat-on-backwards drummer with hair so cool it might slow global warming or the rhythm section clued into the back up singers. This is extraordinary talent putting on a clinic in how to love what you do. Thank you for this video.
