MR

I just got done watching Barry Manilow singing Open Arms on the Tonight Show.


OMG - HE WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! What nerve trying to sing that song. Only Steve can sing that song.......

enough said..........


While I don't have last night's version, here is one from June:

I was sitting here listening as he started singing, thinking.... wow he really sounds bad... he really sucks......not realizing at first what he was singing. And then it dawned on me.....

Anyone else see it????

My ears are bleeding and I'm without a torniquet.

Uhm, yeah....WTF WAS THAT????

His voice is shot, the arrangement was putrid, and what the blue blazes is that thing he does with his mouth??? It looked like he had corn stuck in his dentures and was trying to work it out.

That was bloody AWFUL!

SET TO MANDY...


Oh Sherry. I can't sing Open Arms without my throat bleeding. But I sent you away. Oh SHERRY. Can you send me some Vicks to soothe my throat that is bleeding. Why are you running away? OH Sherry......

OH SHERRY My LOVE HOLDS ON, BUT NOT QUITE THE NOTE.....

He looked like a case of plastic surgery gone wrong.........

Maybe he dislocated his jaw from sucking that joint too hard?

Haven't seen it, thanks for the warnion.

I wouldn't be so hard on Barry. There have been plenty of pictures where Perry looks like he just stepped off an indian reservation himself.
Barry has had three number one singles and been selling out his shows for 3 years straight in Vegas. Dude is 65 and still out there performing (unlike a certain person to remain nameless). I give the guy major props for not abandoning his fans and still putting a product out there for his loons to enjoy. It beats playing the same 10 records over and over again.

How do you know? Did you hack into her xtube account?

I could happily never ever hear this song again. Even the Journey version. Just completely over played and over done. So many other great tunes to play instead...

Well... ok, can't argue with you there. But he still looks like a drag queen.

Anyone ever see the Will & Grace episode where one of them was trying to get in line for Barry Manilow tickets, and there's this whole interaction with a Manilow loon (I think on the show they were using the word "Fanilow"... ). It was hilarous - it was just like I was saying the other day (in whatever thread) about how every celeb had that certain group of people who just do not know where the line is.

A shitty cover of a shitty original. I agree with Andrew...and that's a first.

Couldn't agree more. The song sucked when it first came out and sucks more now! Without Perry's voice (I don't even think Schon is on the recording), that song doesn't see the light of day, let alone become a hit. It's always pissed me off that such a DREADFUL song was Journey's highest ranking hit!

What did he sing?

Ok - I recorded this on the DVR and I'm going to watch it now.

I will say one thing even before I watch - Barry's voice is nowhere near "shot". He sounds amazing live.

Just watched it....the timing seemed way off, sounded like a trainwreck at the beginning. I think he needs to kick the tempo up a notch if he wants to make that song work.
