This actually takes a crazy amount of skill because it was bad, but still good enough to sound like he was trying. Pharrell’s face had me dying though! 😳 😂😂😂
True, he had to sound half-way decent because The Voice screens contestants before they're selected to audition. We've seen some awful performances on American Idol, but that's their shtick. We've viewed some okay singing on The Voice, but never someone who is really terrible. I still wonder if they all knew from the beginning they were being punked.
He made it sound like someone less talented was actually trying - and that is effing hard to do. Imitating a great lack of skill/talent comically is very simple, but imitating a slight lack of skill/talent believably, that is really hard to pull off.
@@paulineodonnell3163 He picked a song that was not made for his voice. That song is very difficult, and it just did him no favors in terms of showcasing what he can do. And any time he could have turned it around, he didn't go for it. And I'm really disappointed he didn't go for it and didn't really try. I mean yeah, singing badly but weakly takes talent. But I would have loved to see genuine evaluations from the judges more than him just walking off laughing.
KRIATIBRO I know its a nickname because I knew someone who was called Neil and he past away so I don't like mentioning his first name it's cool tho . :)
A Seriers of unfortunate events was a book series that was released early 2000's and they just turned it into a Netflix show now. so no not really a coincidence
Pharell is a joke. Like even in his career. His solo work is all friendly and pg. Meanwhile he collabs with artists like snoop Dogg and Robin Thicke on these really adult non pg tracks. Plus his just fucking goofy
Cynical people always tend to assume everything that goes on on TV is scripted or fake. I would just say that unless you are a Broadway fan or HIMYM fan, you wouldn't recognize NPH's voice that easily.
Because they have come across HUNDREDS of auditions where the contestants sound similar to an actor, or a singer, but they're not them. So why would they suspect it was NPH?
He should have sang something from one of hos Broadway shows and say well. it would have been more fun if he judges were like, "damn he can actually sing."
I was really expecting a bit more range. The performance was ok though, I think "worst thing ever" is really not giving credit to all the real worst performers in the world.
@@JimboDoomface I think he may have meant ‘worst for Neil Patrick Harris’. He’s a very talented singer lol. If you want his music hard and fast, go check out Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Or just TH-cam random videos of him performing.
I still love to come back here and watch this. Like Adam said, he's actually a great singer, so it's always funny to hear him sing like this and make the coaches cringe xD
Adam: "You know what's funny is that you're a great singer, but that was like intentionally the worst thing ever." Neil's face was like, "Uh, I was actually trying up there..."
I just started watching it because of Neil but then he threw in austria and I got soooo excited!! I´m from austria and we hardly get mentioned anywhere...
OHHHH no that awkward moment where they were like "I knew something was weird because you're a great singer and that was like intentionally awful!" and NPH is like "uhh... yeah... intentionally awful... wasn't actually trying at all..."
I wouldn't describe it as nasty, but definitely thrown off. NPH was being intentionally weird with a slightly creepy vibe. When you're not expecting it, it's hard to check your own knee jerk reaction. Since that was the kind of NPH's aim, I'm sure he found it comical.
You mean the way they treat him awkwardly when he is a nobody and very kindly and openly when he is Neil P Harris? i wouldnt say nasty. In my opinion its do to their own lack of confidence mixed with artistic arrogance.
@@Josh92SA, no, it wasn't. I am by no means blessed with perfect hearing or anything, but even I can hear the difference between this and his serious performances. It's very subtle, though.
@@Josh92SAIt's not, you can even hear him occasionally start a note in pitch and then deliberately shift flat.. Neil is a lot better than this, look up any of his singing performances.
So they turn around at the end even if no one pushed their button? In the Netherlands the contestants just walks away and the coaches stay faced the other way.
a supposed "TV celebrity from austria" doesn't meet a requirement of an ordinary person. they treat him weird because he's being very awkward on purpose and they are suspecting a prank
Adam: “You know what’s really crazy is that like you’re a great singer and that was like intentionally the worst thing ever.” Neil (actually giving it his all, chasing his dreams): *nervous chuckle*
I wish that he sang it obviously badly. The singing performance was really believable, as in not comical and closer to good than bad. Being bad would have been funny, and being great would have been funny in terms of blowing the judges away.
@@xoxoxoxo4483, this shows off his skill more, actually. Easy to sing obviously badly, shockingly hard to make it a believable mediocre performance on purpose. I suspect it was either to make the whole thing last longer, or because it was more of a challenge, i.e. more fun to him. Or maybe because it seemed kinder to not ridicule lack of talent.
