Madonna sucks ass says – reply to this

Madonna is the worst joke ever…did you know that she was the
one who taught Britney how to lipsync? That's right, Madonna
doesn't sing any of her songs either. All studio recorded..too
bad the middle east won't kill her. What good is she? She won't
even let her kids watch TV..and she shouldn't be one TV if she
trashes it to them. She just don't want them to see any of the
nasty crap she did in her life and is still doing. When she got up
on that cross, then should of really nailed her hands to it. Hate
the bitch.

Crackers says – reply to this

#20, that's not true… she only lypsynches somes songs in her world tours, only a few. For example, in the Confessions Tour she lipsynches 2 and small parts of others, and in her Re-Invention World Tour she lypsinches only 3 as well.

Inform yourself before writting…

this is NOT NEW. he covered ray of light while on tour with savage garden back in the 90s. in fact, he sang it in nyc one night when madonna was in the audience. NOT NEW NEWS, perez.
lola says – reply to this

42

This version is much much better than Natasha's.
Mervin Malone Jr. says – reply to this

43

It's actually not a bad cover. It's not the original of course — Maddy's is timeless — but it works. I like this and Jody Watley's cover of "Borderline".
Ray of Light sucks says – reply to this

44

What's with all of these "Ray of Shit" covers? Nobody cares about that old ass song.

Gail says – reply to this

48

Impressive. That was good….that was really really good actually. And I normally don't like that song. Well done I'd have to say to Mr. Hayes….he's got some balls to take on a song like that.
Anne says – reply to this

49

Great song and Darren sings it well. He has a beautiful voice and he really enjoys singing as you can tell. What makes a great singer is to be able to invoke some sort of feeling or emotion. He does that very well and you can't help but feel his happiness. Sing your heart out baby!!!!
DRAG QUEEN says – reply to this

50

SUCKS ASS HE SINGS LIKE A FUCKING GIRL it's a horrible version WACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOT only does he sound gay but if he is w/e he butchered the song.He does look like the guy from SavageGarden and if that's him WTF happen?Cause he use to sound way better he should just sing his own songs and stop trying to sing like a FEMALE.

Valentino says – reply to this

# 20. You're an imbicile. When Madonna perfoms live she hits a lot of bad notes — proof that she's not lip-synching. She may not be the best singer, but she has the guts to sing live even if it doesn't always sound great. She also writes her own songs (see the liner notes in her albums), which is something people like Britney could never do. Don't speak if you don't know what you're talking about; you only flaunt your idiocy.
Paulie says – reply to this

"Madonna is the worst joke ever…did you know that she was the
one who taught Britney how to lipsync?"

LOL, where do people like you come from?!? Madonna only occasionally lip syncs AND many pop stars have done so during the course of their careers (Janet, Paula Abdul, etc., etc.) so to single out Madonna is absurd AND delusional.

This just proves how amazing Madonna's work is. Other artists want to cover her work all the time, a great compliment to a fantastic star!

This is why I hate him. Darren Hayes is a wanker. He is not very intelligent at all and anyone can sing like this. He is just a poof from Brisbane who was in the right place at the right time. He takes himself WAY too seriously; shame he doesn't have anything smart to say.
Javier says – reply to this

71

Dude… that was fucking awesome. I loved it. I have so much more respect for you now.
Rom says – reply to this

72

That was beautiful. His voice sounds awesome. Madonna has an operatic range, she just doesnt show it on normal songs. But you can see how her voice sounds when shes practicing in the behind the scenes footage of Im gonna tell you a secret, it sounds like opera. Madonna voice is very emotive. I love the sound of her voice. Madonna doesnt lip sync. She sings live while doing all the dance routines. Actually I think she prides herself on her live performance abilties.

Re: Rom –
madonna sings live my ass
she uses another recorded version of her songs who sounds live anyways she is a talentless ho
BRITISH BRAT says – reply to this

74

Darren Hayes rates as the Number 1 male singer of all time…. I'm addicted to his new album and song 'Casey', 'Like It Or Not' from Spin and 'So Beautiful'…. You need to hear Darren sing his version of Elvis Presley's 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You'…. Brings shivers down my spine everytime I hear him sing…. Darren Hayes is Pure Magic…
Chicka-Cherry-Cola! says – reply to this

75

Darren Hayes has a great vocal range - a pleasure to listening to someone who actually has talent for a change.

So what if ya all have seen/heard it before - I haven't seen it around here before.
WTG Perez!

Re: anon –

Actually, this is NEW, yes Darren may have sang this song while on tour with Savage Garden, but what you just watched, if you cared at all to watch it…was from a BRAND NEW special on UK TV called, "Soundtrack to my life." So perhaps YOU should check your facts before replying, hmmm?
Tara says – reply to this

81

Darren Hayes, has an amazing vocal range, one in which not many other artists can match. The fact that he's not "POPULAR" is because he's chosen not to sell out, and has chosen to make the music, he wants, the way he wants. And fuck what everyone else thinks or has to say. He knows who his fans are…and I am PROUD to call myself that.
ma says – reply to this

82

wtf is that!!! why can't he b original? and that is nothiing like Madonna's energy put forth for ray of light, i hope he gets in2 a car accident and dies…

85

Seriously, this is a very gay'ed up version.
fliparoo says – reply to this

86

This is better than Madonna's - so pretty.
Seriously, her attitude and marketing genious are unparalleled, but her voice has gotten very annoying since the good old days. It just cuts through any other garbage recorded over it like fingernails on a chalkboard. Too bad. The bitch otherwise knows how to market music. You gotta give her that.
piñata says – reply to this

87

Loved it!! He has an amazing voice

Of course Madonna doesn't lip synch! She sings live on every show!! And it sound like hell…but what an amazing show she has!!!!!

Re: ma –
Singing a cover during an interview when asked about it by the interviewer doesn't count as 'unoriginal' in my view! Neither does releasing a 25 track album of songs all of which he wrote (or co-wrote), as Darren has just done.
Beth says – reply to this

94

I saw Darren perform this past June in Chicago at the Lakeshore Theatre. He was amazing! I am so jealous that I do not live in Europe so I can see his new show. I love his new CD!

Love Dazza and he's got a great voice (damn the bitch can hit those notes) but wish he'd chosen a better song.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
