it may not have anything to do with being "armchair musicians" for some....but for others, it just might...and if you read the words below that appear in the origional post, dogstar, you will see that basically i agreed with what you have said above.

There are no "rose colored glasses" here....despite what some may choose to believe...never felt the man as perfect...only human...nothing more...nothing less...but if i have to accept the label of wearing "rose colored glasses"...then so be it...for i would rather see the beauty in something than forever be picking it apart and searching for the negative.

He sang accapella...something not easy to do, without an ear prompter so he could hear the music...so of course the naysayers knew he wasn't lip syncing....he sounded a bit nervous..but covered it well...maybe a little flat...but then again...not as bad as others i have heard sing the song...as i saw it, he did the song quite well...with finesse...and put himself into it with passion, just as he seems to do with anything he chooses to sing...and i would suspect in his life in general...

I thought in this case... someone like Myles Kennedy would do a much better rendition. However, Scott did alright... but this song totally wasn't the type of song that fits his voice range. He was flat, but not horrible. It's a difficult song and his voice just couldn't keep up with it. Scott is still the man though!

I'm a fan of Scott, too, and I frankly had hoped for a better performance, but I can admit it when my favorite artists aren't "on", and he wasn't. I watched it with other people who didn't even know who he was and every one of them thought he did a bad job.

Sweety, i knew that people from another forum will be putting knives on your back for saying that...specially when the comentary is negative against Scott. I saw the performance and i canīt say he sang bad...i just feel impartial cuz i canīt see anything special on it. Also Scott has a great voice i think that song doesnīt fit his voice...but i have to say he put all his feelings on it...so for once i canīt say anything bad against him...iīm being a good girl...

Hell no I couldn't do any better! I can't carry a note in a bucket. But I also have the good sense not to attempt it in the first place.

I was too busy screaming with surprise since I didn't know he would be singing. Then my mom called to be sure I was watching and by then I didn't get to actually hear most of it. Thank God for Tivo! My mom called back when it was over and asked why he sounded out of breath.

After I re-listened to it, I did notice the "breathing thing" ... but I thought he did a good job. I can understand where some are coming from about sounding flat or maybe the song not really being in his typical range. It's not an easy song and I'm sure he had to have been nervous.

Anyway, I thought he did a good job!

I just want to clarify ... I'm not saying I think he sounded flat. I just think he was trying to keep it pretty mellow yet with feeling ... probably trying not to "overdo" it and then ending up not sounding good.

Two nights ago... Amy Grant, even though I'm not a fan, was quite good.

I don't know about you Ann, but since many of us have been given that "rose colored glasses" label, I bet we'll look good in them.

Agreed.

Ann Allusion, I wasn't picking his performance apart and looking for the negative. I, like you, stated my opinion, but you never seem to think the man has an off night. He has, as have many other artists. On this night, I thought he had an off night. I didn't say it was terrible. I said he sound flat, a little nervous and his breath control was off. I thought he put a lot of feeling into it, but he didn't pull it off.

As to what others said about the difficulty of the song and such, that's irrelevant. He either nailed it or he didn't. In this case, I don't think he did. Just my opinion.

Just because some aren't as passionate about Stapp as you are does not mean they aren't fans. Most of the people here still enjoy Creed's music, and that includes Scott.
