solongfromthestars Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I love this song and watching this reminded me that I miss it live, even if I am mostly alone in that He looks and sounds understandably tired but I liked the performance and found it emotional regardless.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Gotta love it when they post actual the HQ performances online 3 hours ago, LaughingClock said: I don't disagree having just watched it. Almost sounded like he had a cold or something. He wasn't off key or anything, just very "vanilla". At the iHeart show however many months ago, this song stole the show (granted it was a small weak industry crowd) but when he played it, it was wholly different than that perfofmance of it. Put it this way, the performance at the Burbank Studios drew tears from people. This one, while beautiful, not so much. Yeah I was one of those who totally cried with that Burbank performance of ordinary world. It was amazing.

No one is going to look up Green Day after hearing this. It's a boring song if you don't like acoustic performances, but a lot of people eat those up. Do I need to bring up Ed Sheeran again? Currently the best-selling artist in the world? I did not want him to perform OW because I wanted something different and an interview, but I don't know how anyone can knock his performance. His voice was pitch-perfect, much better than on Conan. I have a real sensitivity to off-key singing, ala Taylor Swift live, or often Billie while singing SB only. This was so on-pitch, his tone was clear, and he even had some vibrato in there. Any vocalist would be impressed.
Montclare Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I liked the Colbert performance rthe best. He looked happiest there. The Conan one he seemed kind of sad, here he was mellow. Sounded great in all three (although I do agree, a bit tired here). Can I just say how much I roll my eyes when reading Youtube comments when people clearly don't know what they're talking about? One guy said Billie hasn't worn guyliner in 10 years. At least the comments were positive (mostly).

I think he improved upon it. The vocal sounded deeper and fuller and he dropped the ooh oohs in the instrumental. 100% better. That was great. The ooh oohs are my favourite part I guess he didn't do them because he sang the whole song in a lower pitch than usual and to go that high might have been jarring.
Schlappy Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I relate so hard to Billie just standing awkwardly while Jimmy closed out the show.

IcyMoffatt Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I watched it on Youtube. It was good, but not awesome. Billie normally gives a better performance of this song. I don't know, he sounded a bit off. Am I the only one who thought Billie blinked his eyes a lot during his performance? Like way more than normal?

-Puke-Stains- Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 About as exciting as the clip from the Conan show. This song was old news the minute it was released and I'm so glad the band stopped playing it live.
