      You can thank pre-recorded vocals and instruments, along with pitch correction lightly applied to tighten up the vocals. None of this is ‘live”. A lot can be manipulated in post-production, which is why this sounded so good.

Then again, "TV makeup" is different again, because it's used to counteract the unnaturally strong lighting, so maybe they have makeup, maybe they don't. I think there might be some botox in there, though.

      Toolmybass Jay Z is to the Doobie Brothers and real music before auto tune (around 1995-2000) what Velveeta is to a classic French cheese. One’s fake and tasteless while the other one is carefully crafted, absolutely exquisite, only of the highest quality and the memory of partaking it stays with you long after the actual experience. In other words, there’s no remote comparison between the two. My husband teaches two sections of jazz history for undergrads to fill their humanities General Ed requirement at a large university. He compares “smooth” jazz and Kenny G garbage to Velveeta too. In fact, for the final every semester he has a cheese party. On one table he has a selection of excellent cheeses and a variety of crackers for the class to try. On the other table he has cubed Velveeta and “cheese product” of various flavors that’re in different cans that the students can squirt on the crackers. The shelf life for the “cheese product” is really long, and if you read the ingredients on the can it is enough to turn your stomach. It’s basically edible plastic! While the students are eating the cheese and the fake stuff my husband plays the real jazz from different eras vs. the fake jazz. It’s pretty easy to tell the difference when the two types of music are played in contrast to each other.
      What we fans of the REAL ROCK MUSIC ought to demand of the R&R Hall of Fame folks who vote on new inductees is for them to play the music product artists and their pathetic excuses that pass for pop music and then contrast them with the REAL musicians and their masterpieces. I would hope that if voters and the public could hear how incredibly crafted and creative a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo is compared to the trash that Lizzo and Cardie B put out and call music perhaps the ears and minds of listeners could begin to become educated and expanded. Does this make sense to you? I’m a Covid Longhauler and today has been one of those brain fog extraganzas, so I’m not sure if I’m getting my idea across or not. My apologies if this sounds like gibberish.🥴

      Toolmybass are you a big Pink Floyd fan too? I just looked at your hashtag. If so, do you have a favorite album? Have you ever seen “The Wizard of Oz” film with “Dark Side of the Moon” playing as the soundtrack? It blew my mind the first time I saw it. Much as I really like “The Wall” “Dark Side of the Moon” is my favorite of PF’s albums. I was 15 when it came out, and it was so revolutionary. Nothing like it had ever been heard before. My sister and I wore out our copy of the LP twice because we listened to it so much. Too bad Roger Waters and David Gilmore couldn’t get along.

      The banjo is present in the original, too; it's just not as obvious because it's only during the chorus, and it's not as prominent in the mix. It does shift the feel of the song quite a bit to have it front-and-center, especially in an acoustic set where it's not competing with amplified electric guitars and a drum kit. :)
