Deliberately? No. What I'm saying is that MAYBE he just sang with what he had at the time. Pretty much a voice that had done a lot of screaming and yelling over the prior week(s). For such a perfectionist it seemed a bit odd that he didn't have a problem with that being his first public performance in how long? Maybe he was showing that he is human, and that aging does a lot to your voice. Possibly a way to minimize expectations should he decide to sing or record again.


Could be...or maybe he has just thoroughly gotten to the point where he could really careless who thinks what about him and is really "comfortable in his own skin," so to speak.


Here's his answer from an interview on the field with a Chicago reporter, right after the World Series win, asking about his singing with the guys on the team:

SP: "[I was singing with] a screaming voice - a screaming voice....after screaming for FOUR DAYS, because we SWEPT!"

Makes sense, since he loves the Sox that much. :D I've been known to lose my voice at a few Sacramento Kings games too.

Good for Steve that he didn't give a crap what people thought! 8)

Bingo. There's no way to equate Perry's current vocal capabilities with that one exhibition. Now if he prepped for the last year and then came out sounding horrific, that's something to complain about. Not the case here.
