Thought the same thing. Totally unexpected. Great voice!

Went to school with him. Everyone knew he was going to be a big shot. He looked like a Michael Hutchence when he was 18. Wore leather jackets to conservative school and got away with it! Every girl wanted him. And a few guys too. He wasn't an ego maniac but seemed really aloof. My sister was in one of his many school bands. Funny to see him so ordinary now.

Lol 😂

u don't want to know, trust me

ur mom

This is in the top 3 comments that I have laughed the hardest at.

I think it is a Bob's Dabelina step brother.

where can i find his podcast? Whats it called?

would love to know as well.

@@kelvinchilezi1615 its on apple podcasts look it up at his website

his pod is called Hanging Out With Audiophiles - every episode has a "Nitty Gritty" segment, where he explores some new music production technique in depth. There really isn't anything like it elsewhere online.

Perfect!

Let me get this straight. You are inferring that Lidell has an amazing singing voice. (if that is not what u r inferring disregard my comment). First off, I had / have no idea who Lidell is but got pulled in to watching by the vid's title. Yeah, I'm up for a secret vocal harmony trick. Pressed start and the show began. Some geeky white guy doing a bad Stevie Wonder-ish imitation. Wait, what an idiot I am. It's a parody right?. My wife, who is a singer, assured me this was not a parody. C'mon I said; the hilarious swaying back and forth as he sings (pitchy as hell) is a serious attempt at soulful RnB vocals? I suppose the world has gone mad. Trump has "the best words" and Lidell has an "amazing singing voice". My wife then loses her shit and starts laughing maniacally, "of course it's a parody" she says. "You can be so gullible sometimes".

@Melvin MelvinHe says that he looks retarded when he sang high notes.

@Melvin Melvin Thanks for your comment Mel. When I say "pitchy" I'm saying that Lidell (when singing) has a problem with pitch or as some people would say, "singing in tune". I know in this instance he's doing or trying to do a Stevie Wonder type RnB vocal track which includes a lot of slurs, vibrato and interval jumps which are usual in this type of music. He's not singing long notes void of vibrato. Basically, he's not singing straight forward simple lines. These soulful RnB vocals which are done so well by Stevie Wonder and others are difficult to do well. Lidell fails miserably in his attempt. When I asked "is this a parody" I was implying (or inferring, not sure) that this must a joke vid. He's so bad at what he's trying to do it seems like he's "putting us on". A parody of this type of singing style which as I said earlier is very difficult to do well. A bit of context in the validity of my opinion; I've been a pro Musician since the early 70's, have played on several albums that have been released in at least a dozen countries, have played live in some iconic venues including the Hammersmith Odeon ( which is called something else these days) in London U.K, more than once at Massey Hall in Toronto, all the huge Hockey arenas across Canada, all throughout the U.S., the U.K., and one gig in Holland (lol) etc. So yes, I have a lot of experience in the studio and live. I played the vid for my wife who is a very talented vocalist. Her reply was, "huh, I definitely did not get anything out of that." Over the years I've learned a lot from her regarding vocalists who can really sing. She has pointed out subtleties that I previously didn't notice. She's a big fan of soulful RnB vocalists like Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight etc. On the other side of the coin, she can also appreciate vocalists like Sting who mostly sings without vibrato. Sorry for the long reply. I'm discovering I have problems trying to make a point while keeping it short. I could have just said "as a vocalist, Lidell really sucks. There are plenty of white dudes that can cop this vocal style, Lidell is not one of them". And what's with the creepy swaying? "Man, he's really feeling it, he's in the groove". Ok, now I'm done.

Dude, I thought he was only the producer. Then he started singing and I was like "wait, what?" Great voice (with and without the mods)

Thank The Beatles lol.

Please tell me more! Massive stevie fan here, didn't know he used half speed tape to record

guy has releases out on warp records, i mean, he could be WAY bigger than he is, i'm sure, but he's pretty known and rated. and his work with cristian vogel as super_collider was reallly hot.

LacklusterOfficial That Supercollider project was my first intro to Jamie Liddell, when I was on radio. Couldn’t stop playing tracks off of that for awhile. I didn’t know that he had more superpowers until later. I agree...that album was hot!

@@velanche super_collider were fucking great. One of the best things The Wire Magazine ever turned me onto.

Don't forget amazing producer

I was happy to find out about Jamie Liddell through Big Data, and I love the new single Monster with him singing!

hold on, jamie lidell has a podcast?? tell me more?

@@LacklusterOfficial It's called "hanging out with audiophiles" and it's awesome if you're a producer or musician.

same

Have you checked out jamie lidell green light. I heard this song in a movie a while back and it hooked me.

I know that's right!!

Bag of hammers 2011 movie

You are in for such a treat! I've been a huge JL fan since like 2005. He's a delight.

Everyone successful "cheats" in the music industry.

He has literally just shown you how anyone can do what he did.

@@Balthazar2242 not everyone will sound like a woman with formant filters. I guess i'm just too masculine for that to work on my voice.

@@DJayFreeDoo 😂😂😂😂

@@Balthazar2242 i did it and it doesn't sound like a woman :(

I surprised people haven't mentioned this. I feel like it's all over "If I was your girlfriend"

Chadwick Steinmetz 💯

Hilarious!

LMFAO

Like the other poster I literally laughed out loud at this! Fricking hilarious and spot on!

😂

Rivi Era 😂

Haaaaaa

B'cause, students don't appear out of thin air.

@@Canilho Comment of the year

you mean building baby makers hahaha!

Make tip #3 number #2.

YeahOK he’s white

@@patrickcudd9312 And that's why we call it "Blue-eyed Soul."

Right? And can just endlessly riff variations to muck about with xD

definitely not stevie wonder level but i understand what you're saying.

I was wondering what the Logic Pro X equivalent would be.

@@theHumanBryno flex time/pitch

I’m having trouble making it work in logic, when I change varispeed and record, my recorded track doesn’t work in the same varispeed timing. I’m confused .

Can one of you help?

@@CWarrenMusic Chose "Vaispeed (Speed and Pitch) version. If you just do speed it won't work.

AHAHAH! I thought the same thing!

Hahahah “plot twist” 😂

Game of Tones.

HAHAHAH

hahahahaha

THANK YOU. I knew it sounded familiar

Omg you're right

YES

I was totally thinking UMO the whole time!

i was thinking the same thing . i would absolutely buy a pack of snippets from this dude

I assume it’s a feature forthcoming in Big Alter Boy

Nothing new, the Beatles were doing exactly this 45 years ago via vari-speed tape.

@Hawk Holloway let me be very clear about two things: I don't live in my parents basement, and I absolutely love Jamie and his work. He's super smart and talented and a forward thinker both in the musical world and audio world. I was merely making a joke that he looks so normal on the outside and is completely super human on the inside.

you made it worse by the lengthy reply

@@bobs.stevenson9704 lmao he really did feed the troll

He really does look like a younger chevy chase

All he needs now is cousin Eddie on backing vocals... 😆

With money you can

You’re right oak knob

i was actually thinking that. This guy is killing it!!! vocal riffs and timing fire.... didn't see that coming

this.

@@YoungBlaze How so?

disagree. Autotune's artefacts can be avoided.

It’s a completely different use than autotune lmao, its not an alternative it’s a new tool. I’d definitely still use autotune and melodyne with this trick if the track called for it

@@lorenzowoodmusic I do agree and i would probably enjoy Alterboy just for having a different algotythm too. Its that its just not "more natural". Oh wait unless OP meant natural like "ease of use". Then i guess it might be more natural shure.

".... expanding your vocal range...." = Cheating. Accuracy matters.

@@ROOKTABULA Creativity matters. If it sounds good, why not.

"Colored girls go: do do do do do do do do."

I'm gonna sing it every time I surf Ebay now, guaranteed.

Queen Purple its the sound of his voice that i was referencing to.
