    Goth singer inspirational



    I like this guy and I find this inspiring. I hope maybe this will open people's eyes to not judge people badly based on their style. I admire that he decided to stick with the goth look even though it wasn't perhaps as mainstream acceptable, simply because it's the look that he wanted as he felt it suited him best.

    Also, for people expecting perhaps some darker kind of singing, I'm glad he sang as he did. For it also suited him, and it was how he was going to sing in spite of what people may have expected.

    You can also look in his eyes and see a lot of really human qualities. He clearly puts a lot of emotion into his singing and he clearly puts his all out there in spite of what people might think.

    Also, personally, I like his style. It's not my personal style, but it suits him.

    The positive messages I get out of this are to do what suits you regardless of what others might think, and to not judge people badly based only on their style.

    Of course I'm somewhat biased in that I already like alternative styles but for anyone who immediately has a negative opinion on people with alternative looks, perhaps this can change your mind.

    Re: Goth singer inspirational

    I'm sorry but this just feels so staged and forced based on past things that have worked on the show-- no judge would point out the uniqueness of someone dressed up goth, there's been so many people to do that in the past, how has that been the first person to ever make them say "woah, I need to ask if this guy really is dressing this way cuz its who he is,,,"

    It was the same deal with other people who had gone on the show, Susan Boyle and a few others, who had that immediate distaste that was quickly reconsidered after she started singing.

    The fact that they zoomed in on his story and the judges were trying their hardest to act the part and the host was also making it seem like he was exclusive from the rest even before the show, blah. The whole corniness defeats any kind of inspirational message there might be.

    tl;dr, feels forced, like the show wants you to judge, so that the contrast of voice to looks is more impactful, and you'll want to watch more. bye

        +1 more for spenner.

        Like, while watching the show now-a-days, you can INSTANTLY tell if someone is going through or has talent when there is a backstory involved with soft piano music or something.

        Show lost its touch when it started to do that, so really season 2-3 lol :P

        Regardless, going back to the OP - I think he has a sexy voice. He sings beautifully.

          This is inspirational:



          edit: tbh saying that it feels staged is a bit discrediting to Andrew's performance though. He looked sincere and had trouble keeping his composure himself on stage. Sure it's a cheesy cliche of social reject gets praise because he's good at singing but I didn't feel that this was staged to that extent and that cliché didn't make it any less real to Andrew I'd think.

            Hah, I saw this in the related video section after finishing the end of a video posted here yesterday. You did too?

            I don't think it's staged, I just think they dressed it up and I'm guessing Nick regularly gives special mention to the judges that something interesting might happen, after he goes around and talks to people. Pointing out that he's different may help emphasize the potential surprise.

                          i graduated high school at 18, in '08
                          there were quite a few freshmen that were 13

                          it might be strange but it's not unrealistic
