Almost a Viking quality

I happened to turn over to Conan just as he was introducing the group and the song they were going to sing. I have listened to many other groups sing on late night shows, usually turning the channel in disapointment. I don't know if it is the poor quality of sound stage or the groups do not bring their A game. So, this night, like many others, I started to listen with skepticism. I had not heard of this band before. Well this little country girl was soon educated by these burly powerful guys. The music was rich and of perfect pitch and tempo. And David! He pronounced every syllable completely and oh so clearly. He poured hid heart, soal, lifeblood into it. I was brought to tears. This was a true theatrical performance worthy of the Broadway stage. I repeated the song a dozen times and I just heard more and more beautifully dark and gut wrenching meanings hidden within the words. So, I searched to see if they had a video recording... and they did...

And they're both bullshit. If everyone is so worried about the "auto-tune" scandal, watch the original video. I've been listening to David Draiman's voice for over 20 years and he's NEVER used autotune.

@@Mel_ForReal No one said HE chose to use it. What people have stated, is that the SOUND GUYS (running the show) chose to use it. That is why he was supposedly angry about it. They did it, without asking him.

his-bean I understand that. What I’m trying to say, very badly I guess, is that David is a full Baritone with a 4+ octave range and while not classically trained he did train to be a Cantor so he he has superb control of his instrument. Many people in the comments are making it sound as if the only way he could have sung that song so beautifully was with the help of auto tune which is simply not true. Disturb’s “A Reason to Fight” is another example of his range and beauty.

@@Mel_ForReal You are correct, but it was CONFIRMED that autotune was used. And as what you have said is also true, it is likely that david would not like said autotune, and would in fact have been angry at its inclusion and thus this ads credence to the story that he was pissed.

Craig Woodward that's fair.

I truly love Pentatonix,and have listened to them for a number of years. That being said, TO ME, their cover of this sounded like they were almost trying to do Disturbed's version of the song. They did well, but it was not one of my favorites, from them. No matter how many times I listen to Disturbed's version, I still get tingle's, and hold my breath as he does the build up. I just don't get that from PTX. As I said, they did a good job, but TO ME, it just doesn't compare.

Your personal opinion that other ppl put up on every reaction to this song. Thanks for sharing lol

Freddy Mercury, Bohemian Rhapsody. Like David, Freddy was classically trained & had 4 octave range.
