DT vocal covers by Nicky Spanjaards

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

I apologize to all those I called douches.

I never realized how ignorant this guy was.

Well, I gotta say if Nicky released a DT cover CD I would probably buy it at this point, lol.  For better or for worse, I find myself entertained and captivated by him.  I still find Nicky very endearing and likeable, despite his other short-comings.

I'm wondering what DT song, if any, he could best handle at this stage?  Some of this choices so far have been difficult ones.  Maybe a simpler one like "Wait for Sleep" or "Space-Dye Vest"?  Idk.  

The end of Wait for Sleep is a lot harder than it looks however Space-Dye Vest is remarkably easy to sing given the vocals are quite steady. A few songs I have found that are "accessable" for the beginner: Hallowed Years, Disappear, Vacant and The Answer Lies Within. For absolute beginners I recommend Ytse-Jam and Stream of Consciousness.

Did Mebert really say he would buy Nicky's CD? All I can do is...

"I find myself entertained and captivated by him.  I still find Nicky very endearing and likeable"
Really? I find I want to hurt people when I listen to him sing.

Yea, I did say that.  But it would have to be a DT cover CD.  And it's mostly because of the intrigue factor at this point.  I find him somewhat fascinating.  Just being honest.  You left out the phrase "for better or for worse" when you quoted me, lol.  Without that, it sounds like I think he's great.  I don't.  I'm mostly intrigued.

The bottom line, Nicky has kinda carved out a spot for himself and this thread has had some staying power, lol.  It might be the William Hung factor, but he's intrigued us.  If he gets better down the road, it's a great story.

[Perpetual Change]

Yea. I know there's a lot of great vocalists here at DTF. But Nicky gets my vote as the "voice" of DTF.

[Tick]

I can't help thinking Nicky would have been a great candidate for the "WB Superstar" It was a mock American Idol where contestants thought they were winning a legit contest, but the joke in the end was they were looking for America's worst singer. In the end, the winner found out they won for being bad. It was hilarious.

This guy "Jo Jo" was my favorite. Him singing Beyonce made me fall off my coach!

He's still reading this thread, that's the interesting part.

Now, I could careless if it was a minor thread and only in this forum, but he also posted it in JLB's forum (where people barely criticize him because of over-politeness)

Well, I told him this:

Nicky, I'm going to suggest that you follow Freko's advice regarding practicing pitch. Save the covers until after you've got that nailed, otherwise you're building on bad foundations.

So, quite naturally, he said this:

I will do first Solitary Shell, which is also a great song in my opinion.

You're right, we must be being too polite.

Anyone reminded of the Simpson's episode where Lisa sets up the Cupcake wired to a battery and Bart finds it, touches it, gets shocked, goes "ouch", touches it again, gets shocked, goes "ouch", touches it again, gets shocked.....

I think the line "I won't sing hard DT songs" should be modified to "I won't sing DT songs, period". I forgot about the Beatles. That's a great place to start.

[rumborak]

Well, I challenged him to sing Somewhere over the rainbow, I guess he's not gonna do that after all.

Nicky here is a hint, there is an octave leap from one note to another SOMEWHERE in this song.

You know he'll completely misconstrue this as a complement.

[rumborak]

What does it say on there? "Die God"?
(I assume this is meant as kinda like "Das Auto", because those things are German. Nicky is Dutch. The equivalent would be "het God")

  WTF! NO! "DTF GOD"

[IdoSC]

I hope all those "Nicky is a DTF god/the voice of DTF" comments are 100% jokes, or we have a little problem

Either way, if you're already talking about easy songs to start from, I'd say songs like Mullmuzzler's "Listening" are rather easy, but then again, I'm absolutely NOWHERE near being a singer (not even an amateur one)...

Read some of my past posts in this thread and tell me if its a joke?

[Adami]

Seriously tick, now Nicky will link this to his forum/website and all of his hundreds/thounsands of devoted fans will come here and yell at us for saying he needs to work on his voice!

posted in the photoshop members page, but I think it belongs here as well.

Hi Nick! Sorry but your covers are simply unlisteneable...I don't even try to explain why..Just too many things. Try another job or go take singing and music lessons until you can pull off something cool! It's impossible to sing songs from DT while having no technique! We are not tryng to hurt anyone, but if you post something like this on a forum you'd be prepared to the comments take care

I'm just waiting for his cover of Learning To Live. I feel he's going to take this thread as a personal challenge, and thusly aim for the stars.

Fix'd.
