"We're living in. a world of fools breaking us down" What an appropriate line given the context of this analysis.

[annajosullivan]

It’s unreal that they would think Barry Gibb needed pitch perfection. This blows my mind.

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

The sad thing is the fact that the recording industry feels we want this. Or, perhaps they don't care what we prefer.

[deborahneal]

Barry Gibb was/is close enough to perfect for me and most of the world. That's why we adore him and the Bee Gees and why their music continues to give endless pleasure to millions everyday. Ditch the pitch correction! When I want to listen to Bee Gees music, I want to hear the real thing! Thanks, Fil!!

[latmcb]

Pitch correction and auto-tune are such appalling insults to great vocalists!!! I'd love to see them both banned forever - or at the very least require huge disclaimers on any music that is ruined with those horrendous technologies. Thanks, Fil, for posting this analysis.

"Keep hold of all your old recordings because we don't know where this stops." Oh, had I only known this 15 years ago!

[G..G..]

The Bee Gees prove their greatness once again❤❤❤ I hope Barry sees this video.

[rmoore]

Barry’s fans have been loving his voice for fifty years. We don’t want his voice changed. I’m glad that I have some Bee Gees CDs.

[Asriazh]

The irony "Cause we're living in a world of fools, breaking us down. When they all should let us be" Exactly, Barry.

[mkl]

So called “perfection” isn’t what we crave. We want authenticity, because it’s becoming much more rare in everything now.

[madcatlady]

How dare they! Just absolutely disgusting. The arrogance to think anyone can "correct" the perfect Bee Gees amazing voices, harmonies and musical genius. Barry Gibb, my idol for 50 years.

[Fluffyinde]

For whatever reason this makes me cry. He’s one of the most talented beautiful people and to correct his perfection is criminal.

[tr]

Those three voices in harmony are the artistry. Unfortunately, some people think what's important is the product, not the artistry.

[zakmartin]

It's like adding brush strokes to the Mona Lisa to turn her smile into a cheeky grin.

[OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

His vocals, to my ears, were perfectly, beautifully balanced without the completely unnecessary pitch correction! I mean, really…why bother when these artists will always be one of the best vocal groups in musical history?? Thanks for sharing this with us. You’re doing the right thing to focus on the original performances of great singers like the BeeGees.

[tcrow]

Would love to hear Barry's take on this.

[jcortese]

I am still gobsmacked that anyone would hear the Bee Gees and think to themselves, "That needs a touch-up." This music was so popular and ubiquitous that it was practically like nitrogen: it was omnipresent. Car radios were devices that filled the car with Bee Gees music. They were so talented and fantastic at their jobs that they achieved a potentially life-ruining level of fame and had a crazy number of #1 hits both from them and work they wrote and produced for others -- doesn't that prove that their music doesn't need to get fkked with?

And now that the industry has insisted on moving us all off of physical media and onto the electron-rental model of music access, the original versions will be gone eventually. Even the archival versions will get destroyed eventually if the giant pile of money called the recording industry wants it done.

I don't even listen to music anymore. If I want to hear it, I either make it or I read the sheet music and hear it in my head in perfect fidelity.

[dawndeleon]

10:47 well they just completely destroyed Barry's unique singing style. He doesn't complete certain sounds. Like the song Run To Me, when he sings "Am I unwise, to open up your eyes to love me." When he sings unwise and eyes, he cuts off the sound from his voice, and then hits a sort of silent "s". and in this phrase here, he cuts off the sound before he hits the very top of the note, but he does that intentionally. To a computer, it sounds incomplete, or maybe a little flat. To music lovers, it just sounds like Sir Barry Alan Crompton-F'ing-Gibb. I just can't believe this. It's heart breaking. I shudder to think who's/what's next.

[leslieclipp]

‘living in a world of fools’, nailed it, love love love your channel!!

[hadassah]

I’m by no means a professional musician, (I play piano at church 😊), but I feel like you are doing something so very important that we should all pay attention to your channel. I fear we are losing generations of natural, beautiful singers.
