Okay, I'm sorry I'm gonna be slightly harsh, but this is getting ridiculous...I don't see why people still defend Nicky when the majority of the people who post here basically talk about suggestions to improve his singing/why he shouldn't upload anymore videos/the way he ignores all the suggestions he gets. And yet, Nicky keeps uploading those.
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), and hell, he made a forum for himself, which only he posts at, imitating the writing style of James' posts.
But seriously, there are 3 things that really make me roll on the floor:
1. Nicky, seriously, just because James does a certain move when performing doesn't mean you need to do that too. We understand you appreciate him, imitating him both in your "presence" and in your singing style wouldn't work well, especially if you can't get it done properly.
2. The website part 1 - dammit, that website makes me laugh. Already mentioned the writing style of James in the forums, but look at the lyrics he wrote - it's like it was taken off certain DT/JLB songs. Seize the Day - "I never saw it coming", "A heart is bleeding bad", "Remember seize the day Looking back to the moments We spent together"...didn't bother to look on the other ones.
3. That one really made me laugh...the whole vocal rupture section or the girlfriend section in the "biography". First, biographies should be written by another person, after you're known widely, I can't help betting you wrote it yourself so the whole "(so he says)" etc parts make me laugh. Also, if you REALLY had a vocal rupture, your girlfriend's love can't recover it, maybe it can happen in a bad movie. Either way, the whole vocal rupture paragraph looks like a JLB copy-paste with some name modifications.
By the way, this post -
I love the cycle of this thread.
Nick - Hey guys, I'm a singer from holland, here are some vids of me singing DT. I'll take any requests you have!
Most posters - Nicky....that wasn't very good, here is some advice to help....
Nick - THANKS! I'll do all of those things.
Nick - Ok, it's been 2 minutes, I improved, here's more vids!
Most posters -Nicky, that's terrible. You aren't listening to the criticism
Some posters - Nicky, you have great passion and I think I might have noticed a little bit of improvement
Nick - Thanks! I think I improved too! Here's more vids
Most posters - Nick...terrible....stop...get better first
Some posters - Stop being mean to him you douches!
Nick - Yea, I deserve respect.
It just keeps going and going and going.
really sums it up to me. So my opinion is,
either listen to the suggestions you get and quit uploading videos for a year in which you'll train A LOT, or tone down your work overall. A website like that telling about you before you actually released anything close to a good song, telling about you and a few unknown bands is really not something to be taken seriously, especially with so many references to your idol. Also, when people give you tips, use them, don't just say "yes I'll do that", upload a video after a day and redo all your mistakes.
