Creativity

You know what I love? I love it when you see something on the internet that just blows your mind in terms of sheer raw creativity and hard work put in. The following took this guy 10 weeks to achieve. Okay he's no great vocalist but just the sheer amount of graft and dedication it must've taken to get this anywhere right deserves ultimate respect. Utterly, utterly brilliant. http://www.noob.us/entertainment/one-man-64-vocal-tracks-thriller-acapella/

PS: I just read one of the comments that made my blood boil: "But what can he use this for apart from mildly entertaining people on the internet?" FUCK OFF! This guy's out there creating something new and exciting for other humans to watch. What are YOU doing, you lazy f**k? Sat there passing judgment on other peoples' endeavours when the most creative you've probably ever been was the time you rolled a bogey between your fingers and it accidentally took on the shape of your Mum's face! Angry

ahem. And calm.

F**k all happens when I "Click to start". Will try again in the morning.

Petra Haden has also done Thriller a Capella. She's also done songs by Journey and The Beach Boys, but my favorite was her cover of the entire The Who Sell Out album using only her voice. There are YouTube videos of some live performances, but they required several additional vocalists and I prefer Petra (triplet daughter of jazz legend Charlie Haden) on her own. She's a very sweet person.
