when a 7 year old and an 8 year sing such a song its sweet, Ed and Tom for me where to old to carry it off so sweetly.Well, I can't agreedani wrote:Yorkie wrote:I'm the one who's supposed to be awkward and bloody minded Danidani wrote:Well i am going to be different and say Freddie and i think James on Prayer as didnt like Tom and Ed singing it and then i heard them two sing it and it actually made me like the song, so it goes to them.
hahaha oh come
And to really shovel it on I think that the voice of a 7/8 year old is not a thing of beauty Nope, it isn't until a lad gets to 10 or 11 that his voice is mature enough to sing (to my ears) well enough to do a solo. Sorry, just the way I feel (I have a reputation to maintain you know

Well, tell me which songs and I'll happily listen to them but frankly most groups of 6/7/8 year olds sound like cats in a sack being drowned in the canal to medani wrote:Yorkie wrote:

Well Steven G begs to differ as he has been doing solo Libera stuff since te age of 6. And pulling it off.
I assume Steven kicks in at about 3.18. Again, the sound of his voice at this stage in his career does nothing for me (if you know what I mean).
Well, I hardly think Steven's vocals can be compared to Michael H.'s, because most of the songs they sang were very different. Steven and Big Ben's voices really cannot be compared either, because they (to my knowledge) never soloed on the same songs. Tom and Steven's voices can only be compared because they have the same piercing, pure and angelic quality. The similarities really end there though, as they have completely different tone.dani wrote:Yorkie i adore you but Steven has a way better voice than Tom Cully or even Michael and Big Ben, the fact we still listen to Stevens work 8-9 years on says how good he is.
And my bad i swear when i became a fan in 07 that it said Steven started singing solos at the age of 7.

That's very subjective. Steven is up there with the best, but I wouldnt' even begin to state which boy had the best EVER solo voice. How do you judge it anyway. What you hear with your ears, might be conversely different to oppinions formed by the next person who ears it.dani wrote:Yorkie i adore you but Steven has a way better voice than Tom Cully or even Michael and Big Ben,
Well of course it is my opinion but i go on the fact he has been the 1 of the few boys to go onto greater things, he can play many instruments to a high standered, has song writing credits to his name, had singing jobs outside of Libera . He is clearly more musically talented than even Ben C who from what i have read online can play no instruments.JimmyRiddle wrote:That's very subjective.

It's like a song somebody likes, then you ask the next person and they say they hate it.
I can see your point, i know when they did the concerts in Palm Springs last year a lot of people on the Yahoo group and youtube said they had sounded the weakest they had for years, and thats simply because of all the young boys coming up, they are not quite there talent wise and thats to be expected as there avrage age has once again dropped to about 9 years of age.JimmyRiddle wrote:With regards to boys singing at a very young age i.e. 8/9/10 etc... I agree there is a weak albeit sweet sound, that's too vulnerable to take on any major workload for solo duties.
I think it's a great idea though, to bleed them into the role that hopefully they will be undertaking with style and ease once they get more power into their lungs. Not to mention battling the nerves of stage fright, which would have turned my legs to jelly at their age lol
Therefore having Mini James and Freddie doing solo duet for the opening line of Prayer is an ideal platform to get them accustomed to what it can be like when it's just you with the mic.
Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and this is the best place for you to state it. I love a good discussion, especially when I windani wrote:

My point being he is overall just musically gifted . He has a great talent in all fields of music. Hence me personally thinking he is the most gifted.
You are a man so il take your word on when a boys voice becomes richer in tone but i wont give up on steven g being best ever soloest lolYorkie wrote:Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and this is the best place for you to state it.

And I agree with you that Steven is very talented and was (eventually) a great Liberian - one of the best ever. We just disagree about what age it is that a boy becomes a great treble. And you know what? It's fine to disagree. We have our own opinions and likes and dislikes and what you like can never be wrong
Night all.
