Ugh I feel vindicated in not buying tour tickets, I hate the way he sings now, it's so arch and distanced and I get why but I just find it sucks the joy out of all of the older songs.
i personally will never forgive him 🫠I’m sorry but he has not just sang 505 like that
my exact feelings! his singing style now is so affected and carefully acted out that it’s lost all its charm. i get its the lounge singer vibe that he obviously loves but it absolutely puts a distance between himself and the audience. i’m not into it.Ugh I feel vindicated in not buying tour tickets, I hate the way he sings now, it's so arch and distanced and I get why but I just find it sucks the joy out of all of the older songs.
I always think to myself, one day after they had brought out AM, I imagine Alex just walking in to the studio and being like, right lads we are all wearing leather jackets now, girating like Elvis and writing weird jazz songs…my exact feelings! his singing style now is so affected and carefully acted out that it’s lost all its charm. i get its the lounge singer vibe that he obviously loves but it absolutely puts a distance between himself and the audience. i’m not into it.
sadly, yes. i wish he’d just be himself and not “tonight, signing live, alex turner is elvis!” even his interactions with the crowd now feel so deeply “in character” that it’s odd.I’m sure it’s not it really but sometimes the archness does come over like he’s taking the piss out of the audience.
I mean not a 1 of em looked like they enjoyed that.
I KNOW!! What has he done to my favourite song.I’m sorry but he has not just sang 505 like that
Absolutely. Change your style if you like but if you're going to do the older stuff do it properly for us old schoolers.I actually don’t mind the lounge singer style on the newer stuff but the older songs just sound weird in that style. And when he talks in that affected accent I wanna scream “You’re from bloody Sheffield man”
They opened with Sculptures Of Anything Goes.I missed the very start of the Glasto set but watched till the end. Did they start with when the sun goes down? Cos they didn’t do it at the end!
Gutted if they didn’t do it, it’s one of my faves as takes me straight back to the uni days!
