View Full Version : favorite vocal performance?
great poster 02-05-2017, 08:28 PM Personally, what would you say your favorite vocal performance by Billy is? Could be from a studio recording, live performance, demos, etc.
For me it's Galapagos, in my opinion Billy has such a raw energy in his singing that gives me goosebumps towards the end with the "to late to turn back now" part and the final "and should I fall from grace". I know he's objectively not a good singer per se but he makes up for it with passion

probably his best vocal performance, and the biggest reason why the song became one of his biggest hits.
fuzzyroes 02-05-2017, 10:31 PM I know it's an "uncool" answer, but honestly: it's the truth.
I'd also have to say Bullet, which again is an uncool answer but yet again is the truth

Nah, lovely song, but Adore is when he started using his faux-vibrato. Singing lessons fucked him up

great poster 02-06-2017, 09:15 PM i feel like Stellar was the last song billy made that truly has the Pumpkins sound, unless i'm missing one.

starlightvideoproductions 02-07-2017, 08:13 AM Wow this recording sounds a lot better than i remember. Perhaps I heard a different recording or date.
For a long time the ana-m recording we had actually had an mp3 step which lowered the quality fyi.
Cool As Ice Cream 02-07-2017, 08:26 AM Also yes to to Sheila. Vocal harmonies on that are beautiful.
but that isn't just bc, is it?
vixnix 02-07-2017, 09:57 AM I always liked the softer stuff - soothe, stumbleine, dancing in the moonlight, annie-dog.
Like when he sounds like a sad, used-up teenage girl, basically. because that's what I was.
run2pee 02-07-2017, 10:36 AM Another vote for Annie Dog, he'll yes

My favorite part is: "What have you GOTTTTTTTTTTTTT" Just that blood curdling scream. Just sells the song. I remember being blown away when I heard the song for the first time which also happened to be when I saw the music video. I was all "holy shit! this is the Pumpkins?!"
The killer vocal performance makes the song. Which is why it's always such a bummer to hear it live now with Billy's weak-ass vocal delivery. He's all "and what have you gotttt" sounding half asleep.
