Beatles songs aren't hard to sing and play IMO, probably because that all I listen to though.

Trying to play the walking bassline on "All My Loving" and singing at the same time is one of the hardest things I've ever done...hands down!

I'm not trying to sound cocky, but I find that easy. What I find extremely hard though is coordinating my left and right hand while playing piano.

Ivan, stop posting images of yourself

I guess most of us don't hate Bieber (good name for a rodent, btw) but rather remember when artists were actually good without any artificial tampering!

I will agree with you. He's good with out the slight pitch correction, I don't think he needs it. He is the ONLY new artist I like.

Well, then, you must not do Taxman! That middle-eight is a killer, whether you are singing lead or backup.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... e-20120102 Is it just me or does this guy not have a good singing voice at all?

As for Beiber...... 15% talent, 85% teen idol ootsie-cutsie packaging. We've seen it a billion times.... as soon as he starts looking
a little older another teen heart throb will come along and then it'll be time for Beiber to stand or fall on his talent. It'll then be 'Beiber...who?'

Thats why he is getting it all in in the short halflife of stardom he has left.

Cee-Lo changed the whole meaning of the song. I'm more of a McCartney guy, and that upsets me!

I think it sounded pretty good. It at least sounds as good as any McCartney version in the past 20 years that I've heard. The band seemed pretty good, though I wasn't impressed with Santana's solo (it's really hard for me to not want to hear the Harrison album cut). I don't understand the general hatred of the kid. I'm not into his music, but he's doing his own thing. Maybe one day he'll be a great creative musician. Right now he's playing the teenage idol.

I also don't know why people get upset at Cee Lo changing Imagine. Lennon didn't even like the song years later, so I don't think that he would have cared.

So just Let it Be

When I say new I mean new style. Like new style to me is modern hip hop, rap, you get the point. I guess I should have said modern. That would sum it up more appropriately.

You need to get out more... or explore a broader palette of music.

I don't like him myself ( not surprizingly- I'm nearly 50) but I commend you, Ivan, on sticking to your opinion in the face of mounting peer pressure. Like what you like.

( But if you park your car outside my house blasting it, I'm going to shake my fist and yell at you! )

Yep, I think he's awesome! I don't have a car yet though, I'd like one, and if I had one, I'd dress like a ganster and blast mozart just to see what people do! .......and maybe a little Bieber.
