WTF Was Wrong with Kanye West on SNL This Weekend???
December 14th, 2008 by Evil BeetSeriously there were better vocals in my seventh-grade class play. And we were doing Fiddler on the Roof. With twelve year olds.
And I mean I’d understand if, like, he had a cold or something, but does a cold make you this completely tone deaf?
Can someone explain this shit to me?
Kanye’s second performance is after the jump. It’s “Heartless,” and it’s every bit as bad as “Love Lockdown” above.
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
sounds, to me like he just wasn’t ready. like honestly, there were points when his pitch was pretty not bad. it’s been HELLA cold in new york recently, and from this little bit i’ve seen, i suspect he just didn’t have or take the time to get sufficiently warmed up (literally and figuratively, i guess) before he went on.
it’s too bad, because i’m really not hating his new stuff.
you may be a totally wacked-out tool, but rock the fuck on, kanye :]
trust me it wasn’t the cold he was on ellen and he sucked and thats indoors in California
he was also on GMA a few weeks back and was every bit as terrible. he said he didnt like to perform in the morning because he needs the entire day to warm up.
explanation: kanye has no singing talent. his voice sucks.
that was easy.
poor little “voice of our generation” should have stuck to rapping IMO
that’s what my fiance kept telling me! i didn’t realize he was so bad at singing til i saw that performance since i’ve never seen him live! oh well, with the voice synthesizer i still like love lockdown…even if it’s fake!! ha.
I agree, I don’t know why he thought he should try singing a whole song by himself. It’s just painful. What’s also painful is his dancing in “heartless”.
Oh, also, “love lockdown” is just a bad song, so there’s probably no way to make it good.
LOL i totally agree.. I like his new album and everything, it is so damn catchy, his songs are catchy, but that’s about it.. I don’t think he’s got a singing talent.. And i also think he’s an arrogant asshole..
I guess his voice synthesizer didn’t go over so well live on TV. Don’t go around thinking you can really sing just because you got a little program.
It was way less Cher and more Stephen Hawking.
hahhahaa
omg! I was just eating my breakfast and almost choked when I read this comment. lol
Does anyone else think it’s super arrogant to have a massive screen in front of your backing band so that all the audience sees is you?
well..the heartless performence is better:)
Don’t worry, I’m sure an explanation is coming soon. In all caps. Blaming someone else. Like white people, or perhaps even Stephen Colbert. It’s coming.
And who isn’t looking forward to said response with a little bit of glee? :)
HEY YALL JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW I DIDNT KILL IT ON SNL BCUZ I WANTED TO GIVE THE NEXT MUZICAL GUEST A FAIR SHOT AT NOT COMING UP TO KANYES LEVEL – Kanye West
hahah
Man he’s obnoxious.
I was wondering the same things, beet. Totally sucked. I agree with DHS on this one.
Kanye like Beyonce is so overrated!
Maybe cause he is over produced and a studio artist NOT a live one.
That Stephen Hawking comment is SO wrong..but some damned funny. Yes, I’m sick.;-)
Kanye is so full of himself he probably shits little replicas of himself. Sheesh.
I was too busy with swooning over Hugh Laurie to notice! (he called me sweet cheeks. Awww…)
Gosh I had the same exact thoughts! My mom kept saying it was amazing, but no… it was so bad.
His secret enchance tweeker with the microphone didn’t show.. heh.
His secret enchance tweeker with the microphone didn’t show.. heh.
I saw him at Lollapalooza. Horrible. Just horrible.
I was very shocked to hear that Kanye CAN’T carry a tune. The KANYE is outta da bag!!
