      I think he was pressing a little. But look who he is singing before and after. Michael Jackson and Steve Perry. That might be a bit intimidating. He sounded just fine each time and that last take was his best. Pretty much the same can be said for everyone. All those pairings worked well and the Huey, Cyndi, Kim trio sounded great together. Lionel was so patient going around and working with each person who was having problems and getting everything worked out. Stevie and Michael helping out with that too.

    • @SoulShines4Music

      Andrew Shearin - No argument, just fact. Ever listened to the Haiti version of this song? Autotune everywhere, starting right at the very beginning with Justin Beiber who's part is autotuned to death. If you can't recognize that for what it is then I'm afraid you don't know what being autotuned really sounds like. Also, that Haiti version was made in 2010, 3yrs after your 2007 deadline. The point is, autotune is everywhere now and is used like a crutch, most especially in Top 40 pop music. Unless you're trying to create a distinctive sound for a song (like Cher's 'Believe') there should be no need for autotune. The vast majority of people in the world don't have perfect pitch but it's those slight vocal modulations in a singers voice that make them sound distinctive, real and human. If you're a "singer" who has to rely on autotune (or any other pitch correcting software) to constantly stay in key then the fact is you're not a good singer period and your overall musicality stinks. Hats off to all the musicians out there who *don't* use the software, they are ones who are truely talented.

      @undeadnightorc 6 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      Because nowadays image is 80% of the product while singing ability can be 'fixed' in the studio. Once in a while you'll get a talent like Adele or Susan Boyle getting through but the industry in general will rarely give someone who looks likes like Steve Perry, Lionel Richie or Willy Nelson a record deal.

      You can't really do your homework though if you are just hearing the song for the first time once you arrive at the studio, and some of them got there later than the others having been at an awards show that same night, which was how they were eventually able to have them all there at once.

      gunnasveins Forget the whole black/white voices thing. Steve Perry is white and he has a naturally soulful style voice even though he is a rock singer.
      MJ doesn't have a tiny voice at all, it is how he sings and whether or not he sings high or low.
      Best vocalists there - Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner.
      Everyone could sing but those I mentioned have the best delivery, the biggest singing ranges.

    A lot of talented singers who are on the mark every time. Tina Turner and Billy Joel get glossed over. Lionel is such a solid start. Paul Simon and Kenny Rogers? Inspired pairing. So were Dionne Warwick and Willie Nelson. The back and forth with Stevie and Bruce was musical genius. Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry....absolute money. Rock solid and beautiful voices. They can do this all day. The Huey, Cyndi and Kim trio was a revelation. So glad Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles were included. I think Bruce coming in like a freight train actually scared a couple people. Loved that Cyndi Lauper got a chance to show she can rock out. There will never be an event like this again.
    Lastly, to be honest, watching all the reaction videos for this made me realize how much I've taken Steve Perry's amazing voice for granted all these years. Such a powerful yet beautiful voice and he sings with such emotion. Am totally rediscovering him and Journey here in 2021.
