Years & Years drop in to the Radio 2 Breakfast Show studio to perform a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams with guests Rob Brydon, Rhys Ifans, Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
I think that if I can overlook all of the vocal cracks and the intonation issues, I like this version. It's unassuming and seems genuine, for the most part. That being said, it's only one of the best songs of all time, and he shouldn't be careless about it.
That is not an easy song to sing. I have heard big name singers not do as great a job as Olly. I just found him when I saw the number "It's a Sin" performed by him and Elton John . He is indeed a very fine singer and has such a great personality I can't help but smile when ever I see him.
kevin firth... The Mac..... WTF.. Lyndsey buckingham would poke your eyes out for calling them that. The Mac.... The Mac... Seriously... My day just got worse...

Ed Sheeran has been around much longer. Olly Alexandr has also taken time out for acting and campaigning. You can rest assured he'll be around much longer than most pop stars in one guise or another.
It’s sad when you feel the need to build up another artist by bashing another. Ed sheeran it’s ridiculously talented. Just no need for comments like this
LYRIC Now here you go again, you say You want your freedom Well who am I to keep you down It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost, and what you had, and what you lost Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself, it's only me Who wants to wrap around your dreams and, Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? Dreams of loneliness, Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering, what you had, And what you lost and what you had and what you lost Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say, women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know, you will know, you'll know
Because he is British and not belting? You want a bullshit Indie voice, go hunt down Melanie Martinez and Halsey. They can't even use their falsettos like he can.
iTeacupPanda OMG I'm so sorry if I've offended you with my comment, Olly had the greatest voice I've ever heard, he is perfection in every sense, I wish I had a small percentage of the talent he owns. The female singers you mentioned have nothing on him, they wish! I will now go pray to Olly in the new altar I just built for him. Thank you, Olly, for giving Fleetwood Mac a career. Amen.
+Esequias Andrade Failed attempts at being clever, cute. No seriously. I'm just tired of people coming at EVERYONE with " Indie voice " -- Yeah it exists, but not everyone has it. I mean, why does everyone have to sing like Beyonce -Whitney Houston - Demi Lovato - Gaga - Jessie J to be seen as a good singer? That is SUPER limiting especially since the later 3 sound quite similar and complimentary as do the first 2 to one another. Belting is only one element of singing and it's over celebrated as are high notes. Lows are just as important.
"First of all Indie voices" aren't Beyonce, or any of those people you listed, and Second of all, Indie voices vary from person to person. Indie is a genre of music in which he could fall under the categories of. Its not an insult or anything.
