Everyone has their own taste in music. Doesn't make them right or wrong. It just is.
Maybe not the only one, but one of a very few I imagine. And it does make them wrong and stupid and tone deaf.
Maybe so, I still don't care for it. Singing "The Sounds of Silence" as a power ballad is too much contrast for this old Simon and Garfunkel fan.
I fight against the tendency to judge songs by the original. I don't want the original to make me unable to appreciate the great cover songs that other singers perform. Below are 2 different versions of the Sounds of Silence song. I hate all the crying in the first video, so I closed my eyes and just listened. It is well performed in my opinion, different but good. The second video has it good points as well. Perhaps I have been watching "The Voice" for too long.
I agree. I enjoyed both of those versions. Guess I just don't like the Disturbed version. It's OK if others do.
Hey Cuzz, I have listened to the Disturbed version of the song quite a few more times since I first posted about the Distubed version of The Sounds of Silence and I think I have to agree with you a little. The Disturbed version deviates from the original in some ways that I don't like. The Disturbed version highlights the singers deep voice and that focus does take a bit from the song. It's not normal to change your views on this forum about anything, but what the hell.
