Thank you, causette, for pointing out this awesome, awesome rendition of the song. I'm re-posting it, because, seriously, I can't stop watching it either. Do click!
OMG I'm so in love with this song right now!! And omg, I miss the boys so very much!!
The UNC Achordants singing at ICCA Quarterfinals (Elon University - 2007), at which they placed first. To learn more about the Achordants, visit http://www.achordants.com or www.myspace.com/achordants.
Is it said anywhere whether Jared can sing or not? Wouldn't it be AWESOME if they were to do a number together, say this song? Or at least, Jensen sings while Jared plays the guitar or something. Maybe at the next con. I know I'd combustdieimplode if they sing together *whimpers*
Nope. I'm a bit dizzy every time I see all those fics in the newsletter. In the end I have my own way of reading: I read through the story finders and save the ones I want to read in my cell. So mostly I only read the old ones. I have never done the same to any of the fics from supernaturalfic, for example. *wipes sweat*
Yes, I've seen that but I couldn't really *see* him. The vid's not that clear. I saw him doing that dive though, but again, I couldn't make out his face.
That fic by esorlehcar? It has one of the most romantic scenes between Sam and Dean that I've read in a fic. They were in this diner and Dean was teasing Sam about cutting Sam's hair. Sam didn't say anything but he kept staring at Dean's hands when he suddenly took Dean's ring and put in on his own finger. Dean was like - wtf? - and he said "That's mine." And Sam answered "Yeah, it is." Then Dean keeps staring for a long moment, and then he slowly starts to smile. It feels, somehow, exactly like a kiss.
Shinta, I haven't read this one yet but elohvee wrote this fic and she called it He Aint Heavy He's My brother (http://elohvee.livejournal.com/356061.html).
*butts in to wibble* Just gorgeous wasn't it. And such a fitting companion piece to ygrawn's fic. Sooo much hurt but that one scene made it all worth while. *loves*
Each time I see Esorlehcar's post on my flist, I was like, oh please let it be another one of her 'Down to the End' verse. Same goes for esohpe. My heart jumps each time when I see her post, hoping that it'd be the sequel to 'The JP Untitled Project', which btw, she's planning to do soon!
Seemed like such a simple thing,isn't it, Sam taking Dean's ring, but so loaded with meaning. Now they're complete - Dean wears a Samulet, Sam wears Dean's ring and Kripke should write that in the script somewhere :D
A sequel to "The JP Untitled Project". Now that news has made my day. *twirls*
It was one of the most beautiful images I have been given in a long time. Such a small thing but oh so powerful. If Kripke did then the THUD's and SQUEE's would be hear world wide.
Lin, can I ask a favor? I am off tomorrow on my holiday and I will not have internet access so of course the flist is going to be insurmountable when I get back. Will you keep any fic aside that I simply must read?? Pretty Please?
Sure, I'll save all the good ones for you. And maybe you should leave your number as well, you know just in case the boys got married or something ;PP -- kidding!
Btw, you've read all the fics that I rec'd you last time?
Thanks Lin! Knowing my luck the boys will do something wonderful like get married while I am outta the loop! If so - email me tj_smartz@yahoo.com - for serious! *grins*
Most of them. Some I have printed out to take on the plane with me. A good read will help me get over my nerves flying. Thanks again babe and you have an awesome coupla weeks.
What I wouldn't give to hear Jensen singing that song OMG. I love his singing voice to pieces. Not Dean singing that Reo Speedwagon number, but the one that he sang with Jason Manns ♥
I think I'm a little scared of listening to Jensen sing. Someone said he was doing that high-pitched kind of thing that I think is cheesy. Now the REO song was amazing just because he was being Dean, but no, not my style of singing either. I suspect if he wanted to, he could sing very nicely.
Since Steve makes his living singing, I would assume he's doing the main singing. But I tried comparing the voice on his myspace page (where he kind of "countrifies" his voice because of the type of song that he is singing) and to decide if it's the same voice. You could be right, because on this little clip, the singer doesn't enunciate as well as the myspace guy. Interesting. Both voices are baritones, making it a little harder to decide.
I'd love to hear the whole song (the Beatles one) because it's a nice arrangement, but I can't access that page.
Okay, update, I found it on youTube. That's definitely the less polished one singing there... i.e., Jensen. It's still very cute, but he needs to practice a little bit more. :)
I'm a big critic, but that's because I'm a big fan of both opera and, say, punk rock screaming. I love Kurt Cobain's voice and Thomas Hampson's voice.
Still, awfully cute! He actually has a nice voice but could use it better.
The main singer is not Steve Carlson, it's someone called Roark Critchlow, and HE is the one who needs to practice. His voice has a rough edge that didn't match Steve Carlson's, or Jensen's from his little REO snippet on the show.
Now and then you can hear a different voice singing a line or two, such as in your truncated clip that started this whole thing. And that, I'm guessing, is Jensen. His voice is much superior to Roark's. Even though he needs to enunciate a bit more. Oh, and um, his falsetto is a bit odd, too, but that's a hard thing for a guy to do well. :)
