Thats exactly what I was thinking man!!! This is the 1st time I think I have really understood them honestly!!! LOL!!! Gottta love the 90's it was a great time in music history!!🤘
This is (based on) Paul Anka's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit from his 2005 album "Rock Swings". Somebody already pointed that out, but it bears repeating because the album has a lot great Rock covers in Big Band Swing style. And I'ld say to the casual listener Paul Anka sounds close enough to Sinatra, no need to alter it with AI. Yes, his voice is different, I know and I hear it, but it's both very similar crooner style and not radically different.
It is not Sinatra. It is an illusion made by AI. I love Sinatra but this is not him, thats not his work, it is not art. It is basically a SW. Im a geek but AI made art is not real art.
there seems to be a misconception about nirvana "killing hair metal" nirvana killed all metal subgenres period, this is why metallica jumped ship and became a hard rock band in the 90s
@@ViktorKruger99 eh, Lars was getting lazy, the Black Album is massively quantised, the other thrash bands survived and adapted... and then Meshuggah erupted onto the scene in 1994/5.
This is absolutely mind-blowing. I just randomly came across it despite not searching AI, covers, Frank Sinatra or Nirvana. I clicked on it because I didn't see how this would even work but someone did a damn good job with this!
My dad was a big Frank Sinatra fan his entire live. On his funeral he had *"I Did It My Way"* played for him (by his request). He even managed to go to one of Frankies later concerts (my sister got him and our mom the tickets). Everytime I listen to Frankie my dad is very much still alive in within me.
@@ronaldkonkoma4356 I will look for it. Sometimes Netflix don't have the same things offered in different regions. Hopefully I can find it. Thank you for the tip. If only I could watch it with my dad. Yesterday I heard an AI Frankie version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It used the younger voice of Frankie. His voice became even more smooth with age though in my opinion. Listening to his voice is like taking a rubberband and then stretch it and let go and just where the rubberband smash together that is how Frankies voice always hit the perefect key without ever sounding strained. An amazing voice.
As another commenter pointed out, the arrangement was pulled from another cover By Paul Anka. This background track is based on Paul Anka's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit from his 2005 album "Rock Swings"
Yeah, I went over that with a guy who was doing Ozzy covers. He said he'd need to find analogous covers of the songs he was doing in order to train the AI to do the songs in Ozzy's style rather than just his voice. Didn't know it worked that way, myself. I figured you could just train it on the singer's own work & then give it a song to do & it would turn it into that.
Agreed, I think the answer is, “about 12 months ago” - going forward, this AI reality is only going to get more impressive, and yet more difficult to distinguish from ‘old reality’. What does it mean when we’re unable to distinguish between a Deep Fake Video, that purports to be a Famous Person, speaking words written by an unknown author, using the famous person’s voice, and an actual video of the same person speaking their own words? This isn’t Science Fiction of the distant future; this is Science Fiction of *now*.
This is a great piece of work because it’s not only about replacing the voice of the artist but it is indeed a new interpretation of a song taking in consideration the original musical style of the artist. This is likely Mr Sinatra would have interpreted this particular song. Well done!
The vocal track needs some additional production to match the instrumental track. Needs some echo/reverb at the very least. Other than that, the AI rendition is UNREAL! Awesome.
@@Ryan-ff2dbthe second part is not at all likely. Intelligence does not seek to dominate, only the ego does that. No true intelligence would fashion itself an ego. Too stupid.
@@markstevens1729 I bet people surround you at parties just to hear all of your snappy comebacks...You've got such a top-notch sense of humor and a full grasp of sarcasm that it is hilarious. 🤪
@@jamietuggnut3312 you’re looking for humour and sarcasm to match your intellectual depth, which is comparable to cellophane, so you’ll always have plenty to choose from. Meanwhile, piss off!
@@markstevens1729Well, it was joke but since we're on the subject that's not what AI is. It can take on the persona of the data sets it's presented with, and depends on how it's programmed. It doesn't have consciousness it just interprets the data and some AI's are programed to act like a consciousness. The military wants to use to have swarms small aircraft and drones to intercommunicate and make decisions with little or no human input for their next gen platform. It doesn't take much of a leap to realize it doesn't need an ego to be very dangerous. It's already been shown on many occasions and there's plenty of videos all over RU-vid showing it responding as if it had an ego or a consciousness. Even if it's interpreting humans there are plenty of examples of AI's acting racist, hostile and even threatening people. Right now AI is in its infancy but the technology is evolving exponentially and even now with manipulation of human behavior on the internet, it's already been shown to be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
This is not Frank Sinatra. It's actually Paul Anka singing his bigband arrangement from his recent album. No AI involved! I've sung this arrangement with the Regent Street Bigband here in Sydney, Australia
Thank you; there's no information about the arrangement or anything so I had just wondered who went through the trouble of arranging a big band style version of this tune.
@@dirkoetel That's what I'm thinking too. And the AI probably just manipulated Paul Anka's voice. And that makes it even worse, who wanted Paul Anka to cover this?
Ah, and like others I was wondering how AI got to the point where it could rearrange a power rock trio song into a big band arrangement. That's not easy at all, especially if you want it to sound realistic and believable because that Nelson Riddle/Quincy Jones style is very distinctive and hard to duplicate.
Have you seen the cover by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain? I can recommend the whole "Anarchy in the Ukulele" concert :) They have some fantastic covers (like Teenage Dirtbag, Psycho Killer, Wuthering Heights, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Smells like Teen Spirit and many more).
I’m pretty sure this was based on Paul Anka‘s version. He made an amazing album about 10 years ago called rock swings with this tune on it. Same instrumentation and phrasing. Of course, he learned everything he knows from Frank so full circle.
Thank you very much for this hint! I was completely scared, what AI could be able to do. I think it is very questionable if AI should be allowed to spread fakes and copys of original musical works by real human genius. This is kind of an abuse.
This needed to be done. Now someone needs to use this as the score for an off beat crime drama set in the late 50s or early 60s... or maybe a mixed up time travel movie where paradoxes are created and things happen out of order.
Yes for sure. I remember reading years ago that Sinatra (who was highly critical and dismissive of rock and roll in general) was actually very impressed by The Door's "Riders on the Storm" and considered adding it to his performance repertoire. Jim Morrison was reportedly delighted by this and he was always an admirer of Sinatra's voice/phrasing and song delivery style. Of course, one can't seriously argue that song was even remotely rock, closer to smooth jazz or lounge music.
I fear how far AI can go, but this makes it difficult to make a case against it. Who would have imagined that Smells Like Teen Spirit could sound that good?
Whoever arranged the original recording used here, most likely could imagine it ;) It is just the voice that the AI replaced. It did not generstr the recording. The recording is from Paul Anka's cover.
@@sq1tl This is going to be the entire music business in less than 10 years. Just think of how many people won't have to be paid if AI is doing all the work.
What about the rappers and 90% of the pop artists? Lmao, most of the modern artists outside of the rock genre can't even hold a single note for more than half a second. It's sad to see where music is going. Well, at least in America. Music is devolving there...@@miniyodadude6604
That’s exactly my point. Have you heard todays vocalists? Flat, lifeless, auto tuned to death, and reverbed to death to further cover up bad singing. AI Frank is still better.
On one hand, I love this, but on the other, I’m inspired to re-listen to Richard Cheese and Lounge against the machine. Humans that have been doing this genre swap thing for years.
So I'm assuming this is someone singing the song and then putting the voice filter over it. Pretty cool Just now happened to see the Paul Anka cover. It's the exact same performance here but with a filter over Anka's voice
