Why oh why

does Darren have to sing in that awful high-pitched falsetto? He was singing so beautifully on Re:covered until he changed key [img]frown.gif[/img]

It was just horrible and I was so upset cos I thought that his version of 'Can't help falling in love' was going to be something remarkable! Instead it was awful [img]frown.gif[/img]

Darren, I so want to like you again but.........*sighs*

Who sings that song in original?

*doesn't know what a falsetto is* [img]confused.gif[/img]

The original is by Elvis Presley and falsetto is the very high pitched voice - like what Darren did in Insatiable (when it sounded like someone was squeezing his nuts [img]wink.gif[/img] LMAO)

Now I know what you mean LOL

*likes his normal voice much better* [img]smile.gif[/img]

*is thinking dirty "Nut" cracker thoughts now!* LMAO

The first time I heard it I wasn't impressed with it but I think I was thinking it was going to sound like Elvis's version of the song.

After listening to it a few times and forgetting about the way I knew it was sung before. I like it. Its growing on me.

[img]tongue.gif[/img] Lain

*has only hear a short clip*

I liked it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There was no falsetto at that time.

*doesn't have a tv and was unable to view show*

[img]tongue.gif[/img]

He actually looked mighty fine and *rarrrrr-ish* but....well I'm more upset than I can say b/c I feel that this might be where me and Darren part ways. I've been a fan since 1998 so it's really hard for me to admit that [img]frown.gif[/img] I just hope that I enjoy the gigs in London (will take ear-plugs just in case [img]wink.gif[/img] ) but I don't hold out too much hope [img]frown.gif[/img]

I hold out hope that he will be bringing you back.
[img]biggrin.gif[/img]
But if its the oppisit then thats ok too because we love you just the way you are Terry.
Lain

Awwwwww - thanks Lainy hun *smooshes you* - that's such a lovely thing to say [img]graemlins/hug.gif[/img]

I really do feel quite emotional atm - it's like the end of an era [img]frown.gif[/img]

Terry, we would love you even if you couldn't stand the man [img]smile.gif[/img]

And if you need to talk, vent, scream, whatever, you know you can [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hugs Terry tight. It will be ok

Terry, I second what Ivana and Lain said! Darren might be the reason that we all got together but he's doesn't have to be the reason we stay together. [img]smile.gif[/img] The SOS bond is much stronger than that! [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] s and [img]graemlins/hug.gif[/img] s ya big -- Chai

I was just so looking forward to seeing him perform because I've consciously taken a break from him lately (he's been annoying me for some reason - I don't know why) and then, when he started to sing I thought 'lovely - what an amazing voice' but then he changed key and I literally FLINCHED!!! Mike (my husband) actually laughed at me when I did that but it was a totally involuntary reaction [img]frown.gif[/img]

I taped his performance and tried to watch it again but I couldn't - it was just too awful [img]frown.gif[/img]

I know that I (playfully) lust after Dunk but I've been a 'true' fan of Darren's for such a long time (whether it be for his looks or (now) just for his voice) and now I feel that he's slipping away from me. I can tolerate not liking his looks b/c that's just superficial but I can't imagine not liking his voice - it's been so much a part of my life that I think I'll be lost without it...

Sorry about this guys but I know that you'll understand me more than anyone else [img]frown.gif[/img]

Terry sometimes artists change and their fans don't change with them. That's not your fault. At least you're honest enough to admit it. [img]smile.gif[/img] I know it's hard to let go of someone... who's music has been an important part of your life but you can still enjoy Darren's previous work. [img]smile.gif[/img] And wait to see if he does better later. [img]smile.gif[/img] Don't give up hope just yet, see how you feel after the live shows!

Hugs -- Chai

Your feeling for Darren dosen't change who you are or why we like you. If the era is over for you then that ok with us. Unless the era being over makes you feel you are over us too that would make me sad too.

Terry your stuck with us no matter if you started to love Ozzy or lust after him.

Does this mean you are willing to share more of Dunc? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Had to reply b4 I dash off again!

Terry, I agree with what the others have said. Yes, Darren is what brought this group together, but friends are more than just a common interest. I hope you will feel back "in tune" with Darren after the concerts - but if not then we'll still be here for ya hun!

(((hugs)))

Ask me when I'm less emotional [img]wink.gif[/img] lol

Thanks Sue [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/hug.gif[/img] '

Terry, I'm sorry this is so hard for you [img]frown.gif[/img] Just give it time. If you still feel the same way and lose interest in Darren's music, it won't change how we feel about you the slightest. You're the funniest person I know and we all love you here so Darren or no-Darren you're stuck with us. We won't let you go [img]smile.gif[/img]

Terry, I replied to your thread about this on the other board, but I'll say it here as well [img]smile.gif[/img] I agree with you totally, his version of it was horrendous [img]frown.gif[/img]

I also second what everyone else has said. I like you for you and not because you may or may not like Darren [img]smile.gif[/img] it makes no difference to me (in a nice way) what music you like, hon [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks to everyone who replied to me in such a lovely manner in this thread. I didn't mean to 'go on' quite so much but, even this morning, I feel quite empty - like I've lost a friend somehow [img]frown.gif[/img]

I know that's it's probably just a phase but, if he keeps singing like he's got his nuts caught in a mangle, well....then I don't know.

I'll still be on here for you guys anyway and that's what really matters [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Me too Kat, me too [img]frown.gif[/img]

Aww Terry I have only hear a clip of that and it sounded good but as Chai stated he hadnt gotten to the falsetto part.

I sooo understand what you are going through with Darren because as most people know I am not the mans biggest fan these days. I lost him somewhere along the way in the sense of truly loving him and his voice. When you realise it,its quite sad and a very emotional journey believe me *hugs*

Kat

I thought the same thing durning some of his mtv asia performance.. atleast I thing that was the one.. I hate when he sing high.

*hugs Terry*

And hands over Duncan and his big shoes. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Awww -

It's rotten when this happens - like drifting away??

Jan

I'm a bit late to add my reply as always hehe But just wanted to say the same thing everyone has said.. we love you, and it doesnt matter if your a Darren fan or not! [img]graemlins/hug.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I havent heard the Elvis cover, so I cant say what I think about it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks to all you others for your very kind words [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Can I have Darren's shoes? Maybe his singing will be more to your liking if he had naked feet? [img]wink.gif[/img]
