And here's proof that the auto-tuning was necessary...

Just awful.

I've listened to the first half of it, and while I HATE this music and the personality, and the whole performance felt very "lame", in the most literary sense of the word (althogh the recording quality didn't help), she sang pretty much on tune most of the time. Occasional "gliding" and out-of-tune singing at the right time can add character and edge (mostly in terms of "defiant" feel) in better songs and by better artists.

Wanna hear a TRULY shitty singer wannabe? Try Florence Forster Jenkins:

PS: The Walken spoof was INGENIOUS :D

The cut scenes in the first Resident Evil game are pure comedy gold (the next two had some fine moments too but the first one is a prime example of the trope).

 

Awesome!

Also gotta love bad fanfiction! This fellow here is doing it for fun: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3323569/1/The_Matrix_Return

 

This one apparently not so much :D http://johnfreemanjohnfreemanjohnfreeman.ytmnd.com/

I mean, the writer, not the narrator ::DD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8yHguvYYyQ

Florence Foster Jenkins!  I'd been meaning for a link to her, um.. talent but I forgot her name.

Heh :D

There's something very entertaining and hilarious about this kind of thing being found in the "high culture", probably because most of it is in the pop culture :D

 

For a "comedy" example (as this is apparently allowed now), I freakin love the "shred videos" on youtube!

Some examples:

Keanu Reeves' outrage in "Johnny Mnemonic"... "just epic" is just about fitting :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJmKLzmPMso

hahahaeha... a classic :D (the Nostalgia Critic uses that for every Ahnold movie he reviews xd) I'm wondering if there's any spoof of Jake Lloyd's GODAWFUL "you need to keep your promises if you wanna keep your friends" line - quite a feat to have the most annoying, silly delivery and line when you're starring next to Arnie, though, I must admit ;) Definitely a contender for this thread! Actually, Lloyd's whole performance in that movie, if I think about it - Anakin was just kinda annoying; in that movie, he gets to go all the way!! I love how he "dances" in front of the screen when watching some "Turboman" episode on TV... ouch.

The "bear and lion" "sketch" from the Teletubbies.

What's really "so bad it's good" there is the voice acting, especially by the bear - what kinda stupid distorted old witch granny voice is that??

Other than that, the notion of putting something this off and creepy (especially the bear) into a cartoon for babies is so bad, it's legendary. The whole show is so weird and depressing, it's remarkable ;)
