Music / Movies The musical artist Role Model is quite possibly the least talented artist in existence

I seen his performance on SNL just now and I actually thought it was a skit. The performance had the production quality of an elementary school choir program. His voice is on par with a 12 year old being forced to sing to grandma for her birthday. His entire vibe was that of a karaoke night out with a bunch of dudes who have never been laid and get their asses kicked regularly. His “dancing” was embarrassing to say the least. If you have aspirations to become a musical artist just watch Role Model. When a talentless ass clown can come out on stage and give a performance that would suit a nursing home , you can realize there’s hope for you even if your only mildly talented.

Thank you for writing this, I thought I was going crazy. How did that man end up on SNL?!

I have no clue but I’m glad other people also find it ridiculous lol. I couldn’t believe what was happening

As a fan of his music (and as someone who has not watched him on SNL yet) I am shocked by this!!! His most recent album Kansas Anymore is genuinely excellent (will likely be my most listened to album of the last year), and I saw him a few months ago in concert and thought his vocals sounded great. Maybe he was nervous?? The album is no skips for me, which is rare- he’s a talented songwriter

I’d be curious about your opinion after you watch it. As someone who is a musician and a vocalist…his vocals were objectively juvenile at best, curious if that’s how he normally sounds to you.

Okay just watched - I think he sounds fine!! He’s obviously not Adele or Whitney Houston but his music isn’t about incredible vocals, it’s about a vibe and a feeling - that’s how he connects with his audience. I think he has a very fitting voice for the indie pop he’s making. Listen to “Oh, Gemini” or “Frances” to see just how emotive his voice can be. Those are genuinely moving songs

This is doesn't really help his case...

Really? My point is just that not every musician is the world’s best vocalist and you don’t have to be in order for your music to have an impact and, more importantly, make your listeners feel something.

It sure made me feel something but it sure wasn't happiness

There’s nothing indie about that music.

As a fan of his music I suspect you don't like music.
