Talented vs Untalented Singers #2 

I’ve noticed that what makes the “untalented” singers famous honestly just comes down to great songs, they may not have the best range or control or stability while performing live but that doesn’t necessarily stop a song from being good, a lot of singers have amazing discographies while having not-so-developed voices and that might be because they put more time and effort into developing their music than their voice. I think a good example of that is lil Nas x.

To be fair, all the “talented” singers are being showcased with their best moments, and the “untalented” singers are being showcased with their worst moments. You could make anyone look talented/untalented that way, only showing the best or worst of their work. I mean, if you’d only ever heard wild honey pie from the Beatles, you’d probably be *really* confused as to why they’re such beloved artists. If you’d only ever heard Mariah Carey’s infamous Christmas performance (you know the one) you’d assume she was a terrible vocalist, when obviously that’s not true.

honestly louis voice is really unique but it doesnt mean that he is not talented he is very underrated and deserves so much more and he is getting better day by day

I've seen Harry live 5 times and, to answer Joel's question, yes, he does sing a lot of his higher songs in a lower key. Not sure if it's because he puts on such a show that he has to save his voice from getting tired out or if it's because he shoves so many shows in his tour that he's worried his voice is gonna go but, yeah, it's always like that. Still good, but a little jarring if you've never seen him live

I swear the “untalented” artists were just the artist’s bad performances😂😂😂

Shakira is actually crazy talented! She sings, writes her own songs, is classically trained in belly dancing, speaks 5 languages, plays various instruments and has a genius level IQ

louis has such an unique voice, and you literally can get any clip from his world tour (started this year) and see how great he is. he is an insane song writer and amazing singer

Even beyond his voice, Louis is a very talented singer-songwriter. If you pay very close attention to the writing of his songs, he is really brilliant musically

the thing a lot of people don't understand is that being the greatest most proficient singer with all the technique in the world doesn't guarantee you success. there's of course production and lyrics and melodies that need to be good but you actually need more than "great voice" to succeed. I think having a unique voice, great stage presence, being able to transmit emotions while you sing and PERFORM the songs is so much more important than natural talent or just good technique. otherwise, everyone would be just listening to classically trained singers or broadway people, right? but that's just not the case. you do need some baseline vocal training and technique of course (if you ever wanna sing live) but there are plenty of very good singers who no one cares about because they are just boring to listen to

Louis deserves better man, when I started listening to One Direction his voice stood out to me the most, it's my fave out of all the boys. The clip shown was not the best, but he is great at his own style of music.

Louis is incredibly talented! That just wasn’t his best performance. Yes, it was a little pitchy but he has so many better performances. He also wrote almost all of the songs for 1D so while he may not be as a good a singer as Harry for example, he’s still extremely talented.

When I hear someone like Aretha sing, they make me want to cry. Their voices move you. They're just on a whole other level.

Joel knows exactly what he's doing with Harry in the thumbnail.

Louis deserves much better :(( His voice has improved a lot through the years and he’s a really great songwriter . His sings really good in the shows he’s having right now.

doja cat overall is very musically talented with making songs and writing lyrics but her main focus is rapping not to say she's not a good singer which she is a good singer but live performing at concerts can be tiring and I personally think she did do very well in that clip but again it is hard too tell with the background pre recorded voices.

Louis has many other great performances that you should have considered. He is very talented. Especially with his new album

The Britney one was so hard to watch. They made her sing with the “baby voice” for so long it really messed up her vocal cords and you can hear the damage. Knowing that she had such a powerful voice as a kid she would probably have that same power still if they hadn’t made her sing differently.

Listen to any live performance Louis has done from this year on his tour or last year at his festival and you'll see he's actually been so on point with his vocals these past few years. I just saw him live recently and he honestly sounds even better than the studio recordings! One of the best live performances I have EVER had the privilege of hearing in person. I would recommend everyone to buy tickets to his world tour currently going on now to see for themselves but it is completely sold out so maybe next time

Louis was unexpected. Omg I'm crying, he's my favourite singer and he is the reason why I don't give up

The title should be : "Singer's good and bad moments" Since all of them is talented and they have a songs that's a hit.

I know that Harry is talented but, Louis is also talented. He just has a unique voice that is different from others doesn't mean that he is untalented. He is also the one who carry the chrous in 1d. He is underrated.

I like when Eminem tries to sing. He rarely does it because he agrees - he can't sing, LOL. But when he does, it's usually something special so I love it.

08:08 i am a directioner, soooo. You are in danger my friend you are in danger😟😕😃😂

istg louis is such a talented singer and he deserves so much better

Noone dare to say Britney is untalented. She was and is an incredibly talented woman who has been exploited all her life and has been through a LOT. I really hope we get to see all her talent unfold

I think that all one direction members are talanted in their own way.

7:41 he actually learned how to pronounce Louis' name right, I'm genuinely surprised

The mosquito at 14:43 is hilarious. Rewatched that at least 10 times and still cackling!

There were just artists that are more of performers (high stage presence, good dancers, good with crowds etc). Then there were artists that are more on visuals (let's say Katy Perry with her iconic aesthetics, but don't stand out as much vocally). Then there were artists that are basically hit-makers, works with good producers, or have connections, were doing acting on the side, or anything else that could support their singing career. Basically being an artist doesn't always revolve around on being a good singer. Some artists are just better on other aspects of being an artist than the actual singing aspect.

I know that "talent" in this video pertains to singing ability but I still want to emphasize the fact that all these artists are talented creators who have managed to cultivate huge fanbases with their talent or "lack thereof".

Louis used to carry 1D choruses and is great live on tour. Like with all of the others, every artist has dodgy days

Louis tomlinson is amazing. Whoever made this picked that clip because that is literally the only clip of him singing where its not so good but people are always trying to compre him to harry. Their voices are totally different. You cant compare them

I’ll just pretend you’ve never put Louis on untalented cuz he really isn’t. His voice always stands out in songs and I personally think his voice is pretty unique

When I hear Bruno Mars, I feel like he's the closest to Michael Jackson than anybody ever could be. Combine his singing with his dancing and he's everything you could ever want. I would actually like to hear him cover an MJ song, just to see how close it could be. Thanks for the upload Joel, I look forward to your videos.

15:57 I honestly disagree with calling TKL untalented. It’s the same story as Eminem, he’s more of a rapper than a singer and is still trying to find his sound. His mentoring was cut short due to Juice’s passing but he’s still extremely talented for how young he is

I think one of the most talented singers I have heard is Axl Rose, he has INSANE vocal lines ans his range is absolutely crazy

Shakira untalented????? That is crazy!!!! That clip isn't her greatest but that's nuts!

Louis is certainly not untalented. He has a unique voice. I think it just wasnt one of the best clips of him singing

The story with Brittany is actually really interesting, she had a really powerfully voice as a kid, and when she started her career, she was told to sing in the baby voice, and it destroyed her natural big voice she used to have, you can especially hear it during her Mickey Mouse clubhouse days 😅😅

Shakira has 5 Grammys for vocal performance...

Eminem on the start of this song "Hailie Song" he also said "Yo, I can't sing good but I feel like singin' and I wanna fuckin' sing".. is a song for his daughter, so no one should considerate a professional song, is more like a special song for Hailie

How DARE anyone say Shakira is not talented?!

In Haley’s Song, Em starts the song by saying “I can’t sing, but I feel like singing”.

12:03 He did Eminem so DIRTY 😂🤣😂

Bruno Mars he is upsettingly talented.

Jessie J is insane, I saw her live earlier this year and her vocals were unbelievably good. That clip doesn't come close to representing how good she is now, she's improved so much since then!

Louis is talented,sometimes he's just a little nerves,i went on his concert and he was great

Sometimes when I'm gloomy or depressed and I've talked to a bunch of friends on phone but still I'm not feeling the energy, I come to RU-vid and it recommends me a Roomieofficial video, I click it right away because I get good vibes from his videos. So thanks for your energetic content and whoever is behind the funny edits, thanks!

Even when you don’t upload daily we’re still here. Hope all is well Joel, thanks for another great video!

It's interesting seeing Joel's dynamic with different people on his channel. With Dave from BoyInABand, he becomes someone who jokes a lot and has to be outright funny to offset Dave's dry humor. With Chance, he becomes just someone listening to music and talking about basic melodies and it's more about how the music makes him feel than anything too technical. With Jonas, it's a Swedish mess of mixing English and Swedish and making fun of each other and the sarcasm is off the charts. With Daniel (@DanielThrasher), he is so much more nerdy than with anybody else. They dive into melodies and both Joel and Daniel always have a technical music thing to point out but they also aren't afraid to show how close they are as friends so there are great jokes too... I have to say that I enjoy his collabs with Daniel a lot more but that's because I like the nerdy side of music and appreciate the analyzing that goes into each song but also enjoy how they can completely goof off at other times.

"That was fine" . Show me you hitting a C5 after an ascending run in the same breath.

Louis clearly deserves better, he is very talented ! And actually i'm very proud of him, as you should all be

Labrinth I’m glad was even mentioned, Jealous is definitely one of his most popular songs. That song is very powerful with making you feel things and it was written straight from his own feelings. Since it’s about how he’s jealous that his dad left and started a whole new family. Not a song about a past relationship like some assume

I feel like every artist that was put on the “untalented” category had as an example a show where it wasn’t their best day, when the ones that were on the “talented” one had a show where their voice sounded almost perfect.

The audacity of Joel to place Bob Dylan under untalented 😂

Harry You deserve much more my love, you are a legend, you are the best musician of this time.

It's totally not fair to have rappers in a talented vs untalented *singing* video😂 That's like comparing a pro motorcycle racer to a pro race car driver great at what they do individually but they probably suck at the other thing😂

Is name is Louis But everybody calls him "the another guy from one direction"

imo Bob Dylan's cover to house of the rising sun sounded better than the original

I mean, I would have said something like "talented singer" because talented is very generic. Jessie J is a really good singer, Shakira is a really good dancer, Bob Dylan is a really good composer and Bruno Mars is really good at everything.

Putting Larry against each other feels like such a massive blow at directioners...

The thing about Louis, I agree that wasn’t his best performance so I’m not that mad but if you check out the away from home festival for example his vocals are much better :)

Loving having Chance in the recent videos!! Always enjoyed any videos when there's someone for roomie to bounce off. Seems to bring out the best in our boy

2:27 Nice Tone

Man, I did get offended when you said sh*t about Em. But I gotta accept that Em's not good at singing. But he's a literal *GOD* at Rapping

bob dylan is a good example of how despite him not being a good vocalist his music and songwriting is far superior than someone who's more vocally impressive i.e. jessie j. critics are still talking about blonde on blonde, nobody is going to be talking about domino in 40 years time.

Em literally says, in that exact track, “I can’t sing, but fuck it, I feel like singing, cause I’m happy, I got my baby back” 🤣

I love how Roomie mimics the singers in his Kermit the Frog voice haha. Its one of my favorite things in the world.

Talented or not, I will admit to having bought Paris' 'Nothing In This World' single on CD back in the day lmao. As a One Direction fan I have to say I feel like that wasn't a great clip picked for Louis. And as a Eurovision fan I have to say that Madonna's performance was so painful to watch live omg

didn't britney damage her voice from doing the baby voice so much? If I'm not mistaken if she never did that I think her lower registry would sound immensely better

Bob Dylan is interesting. I think now, his singing voice is more or less gone, and there are a lot of videos of him sounding pretty bad live. But, bizarrely, he's also responsible for some absolutely fantastic live albums, where he sounds absolutely great. He really could make that nasally drawl work back in the day, and he had a real talent for arranging and re-imagining his own songs in a way that I've never seen anyone else do. Live at Budokhan and The Rolling Thunder Revue are both fabulous examples of this. He also, even more bizarrely, could sing in a completely different way if he chose to. He did one album, in 1969, where he completely dropped the drawl and instead used a beautiful, rich baritone. Check out his fab duet with Johnny Cash, Girl From the North Country, for an example.

13:30 Chance vibing to Fergie made this video!

them: drawing the line at miley me: already drew the line at doja and louis

The Bruno Mars performance was actually from the Billboard Music Awards, not the Super Bowl. In case anyone wants to go enjoy the full performance 😉

For so long I've been watching his videos and they are still amazing

OMG!!! You guys are killing me!!🤣🤣🤣 Great content!

Miley Cyrus untalented? Seriously? Fight me all you want. Her songs maybe not your type but calling her untalented? Hell no. Also for Fergie, I think she had her moments but I think she isn't that bad. But I'll never accept Miley being called untalented. vocally she's even better than Adele

Paris Hilton sounds a lot like Sarah Michelle Gellar when she sings in Buffy, it’s so tiny and narrow and squeaky!

9:06 and the devil is very wholesome! 😊😊

joel mocking bob dylan is the quality content i subscribed for

Bob Dylan recorded knocking on heaven's door in 1973. He was 32. So using a clip of him at 75yo+ is slightly unfair

8:19 I just want to leave here my hate comment

The way they showed Harry’s best performance and the worst of Louis-

5:02 he sounds like one of the simsons

Bob dylan has the voice and he knows the tune, i would not call him untalented because he has a so unique voice and a voice that really make you know its him that sings, if you look at the early dylan songs you can hear that he is singing more " in tune " but i think his voice really speaks for himself and that he has a talented and unique voice

You should include Ryan Tedder in your next video like this as a talented singer. It's unbelievable how crystal clear is his voice at live concerts as well and since he is impovising sometimes there is definitely no auto-tune.

You should make a video of singers best vs worst vocal moments. I think you've done it before but we need another!

LOUIS IS THE BEST ACTUALLY LEAVE I CANT DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW

Doja is actually a lot more vocally talented than many people realize, or give her credit for. This *definitely* wasn't the best clip to showcase what she can do. A great one to check out, if you haven't already, is her 2020 EMA performance of "Say So". She did a punk/rock version of it, and it's honestly one of her best performances! It showed off her range, as well as how versatile she is as a performer and musician!!

Doja Cat performs best live when she is rapping. I honestly do think she is a talented singer, but her rapping is amazing. Her breath control, all while dancing and being high energy. Between her songwriting and production and her live performances, she is a great talent.

The stick leg stage dance guy was HILARIOUS!!!

I love how Roomie creates categories as the video goes on xD

Love how the untalented all have the worst clips of their performances 😂

This isn't even "talented vs untalented", these videos are just about picking a great performance by a good singer and finding another good singer's bad perfomance and pitting them against each other based on that. I usually love your videos Joel, but I think this one is just in bad taste overall. Not to mention that even the greatest artists can have bad days and put on a comparatively bad show, but then to have people judge your singing abilities by that ONE bad perfomance while ignoring the good ones is just distasteful and unfair.

I saw Louis is concert and can I say he has gotten better since the clip that was shown. I remember when that clip came out and I am biased to tbh he sounded good to me.

Joel, you should go on tour one day!!! I would DEFFINETLY buy tickets!!!

I’m a simple man …i see harry .. i click

louis tomlinson is so fucking underrated, its a crime. his voice is so amazing and he genuinely deserves all the love in the world. i don’t understand why people dont like him or his voice.

Love u roomie have been watching u for six Tears😁😁

I just watched one of your video of misheard lyrics by mistake and then bomm! I just can't stop watching your videos auto subscribe dude love you😘
