Don't forget... the band will be on America's Got Talent tonight 9/15. 8/7c on NBC.

TV highlights for Sept. 15, 2010

Farewell, sweet summer television. You were so mindless, yet delightful . . . for the most part. Before we march full steam ahead into fall TV, here's a look at several shows wrapping up tonight:

"America's Got Talent" (NBC at 8): After a long summer, the competition finally names a winner, which will either be 10-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho, performer Prince Poppycock, singer Michael Grimm or Blacksburg, Va.-based performance group Fighting Gravity. But first! A slew of performances from non-amateurs, including Usher, Donna Summer, David Copperfield and the Goo Goo Dolls.

I got home late and was afraid I'd missed the Goos. I just saw the little girl Jackie sing. She is AMAZING! I'd heard how good she is but I'd never heard her sing before. Wow ... just wow.

People in the comments are saying that John had nodes, which I never knew about - and I don't really believe. John has never sounded like he has had nodes, it's also really hard for male singers to get nodes.

I'm not too familiar with nodes and google it. What I can say is that something is happening to John's voice and not for the better. I'm not surprised if his singing career ends because of it.

If he can speak, then I'm happy he's okay.

He sounds okay, but do you deny that his voice changed significantly in the last few years, and he just doesn't sound as good as he use to. He's not able to hit the higher notes. This is really serious, especially if you're a singer.

I'm thinking that the goo's may end up just releasing albums and performing once in a while in the future...if at all.

John never had vocal cord nodules as far as the public knows.  He did have a hematoma on one of his vocal cords in spring 1999 and they had to cancel about a week's worth of tour dates while it healed.

The hematoma was a result of singing wrong for many many years.  John sung from his throat instead of his stomach (or wherever you're supposed to sing from) and he got guidance to correct the problem (hence the vocal exercises he sometimes jokes about).  I don't know why everyone freaks about about his voice in 2010 when the huge change happened in 1999.

Also, your voice changes as you get older and it probably changes more when you use your voice more.  John's voice has definitely deepened.  And I don't think I need to say Robby's voice has deepened.

All that being said, I think John's voice sounded fine for the weird paced performance.  I also think he sounds very good in concert, where he's actually in his own element.  And anyone who doubts that John can sound good, go listen to the Sirius Coffee House performance of SFTROU.

But we didn't have youtube in 1999. Right now, you can listen to hundreds of good performances at any time and see differences in his voice. You couldn't judge by going to one goo performance once a year.

Most people are paying and listening to John...not Robby...unfortunately. Robby only had 2 songs in the new album...nobody is really complaining, but there would be an uproar if John only released 2 songs and all Robby songs.

John's voice changed for the worst in the last decade and he doesn't sound as good as before. He still sounds good, but u just have to be realistic. It's a realistic concern that could end his singing career or slow it down.  Just listen to something in 1995.

I think you mean he's supposed to sing from his diaphragm.

And very true about the voice getting deeper with age.
Example: This is why a Bon Jovi audience now gets to sing all the high notes during a performance of "Livin' On a Prayer", lol. (Dude just sticks the mic out at the crowd like, "uh...you do this part!" Either that or they do an alternate acoustic version to hide the fact that he can't hit the high notes anymore. As if.   ::)  )

No, we didn't have youtube in 1999, but it was still possible to see and hear live performances if you wanted to seek them out.  They also had more frequent television performances to see.  If you compare 1999 to 2010, their performances were MORE scrutinized in the past because people would watch them again and again because they weren't so spoiled to instantly have 100s at their disposal.

John acknowledges that he does plenty of things that are not good for his voice but it's the decision he makes.  If he was concerned that his voice would deteriorate to the point his career would end, I think he'd do something about it.  Also, his career is more than hitting each note (which I still say he does fine with) and I don't think he'd consider himself a singer above a songwriter or all around musician.

Furthermore, to say his voice was good and is still good (but maybe not AS good), but that his career will potentially end because of it is insane so I don't even know why I'm trying to make sense of this.


*Also, I don't care who the masses listen to.  The day Robby stops singing (minus a medical issue), I'm out of this fandom.

You can't compare youtube era to the old days...you just can't. It's like John said, people were singing the lyrics to new songs before the album came out. That's the power of today's technology! If you're going through youtube and listening to 2010 vs 1995, you will notice a huge change in his voice.

I think he is doing something about his voice and by the way it sounds, it's very possible that they won't be performing as much in 10 years. It's very possible, so not sure why some people acting like nothing is wrong. Just being realistic.

The albums are okay for the most part. It's the performances is where you see how bad his voice has gotten. His voice is so low to the point like he's talking or singing like a rapper. I love the songs "before it's too late" and I think it sounded great, but it's just horrible to listen to live.

I don't get what the hubub is about. This coming from someone who WAS very concerned about his voice during the LLI era, thinking that the vocals on the album weren't as good and his vocals live really weren't good. However, I am psyched about his voice now. The new album had better vocals than the last two, and during the concert I went to he was the best I've ever heard him. I also thought this youtube vid was fine. Nothing stuck out to me as bad.

U can use HD on new naked performances all you want...it doesn't sound as good as the old stuff.

Nothing IS wrong...

Of course they won't be performing the same amount in ten years.  They will be in their mid-50s.  It will have nothing to do with John's voice, it will be because they are all older and would prefer to sleep in their own beds instead moving from city to city, hotel to hotel.

Yes, that is possible as well, but it's very possible that John's voice will reach a low point where he can't perform that much. Why is that hard to believe? In the last 10 years, his voice significantly deteriorated. How can you be so sure that nothing will be wrong with his voice in 10 years? Do you think people are deaf to his voice changing? Are articles about his throat a bunch of lies?

What articles are you reading about his throat?

I can't be sure his voice will be fine in 10 years any more than you can be so sure it won't.  You're right, ANYTHING could happen in ten years.  John's voice could fail, he could get hit by a truck, he could quit music and run for president, he could get abducted by aliens who rip out his vocal cords and replace them with robotic ones.  I do not understand why you are treating it as fact that John will some day be unable to sing based only on your opinion of his voice.

I never said that it was a fact that he will lose his voice. I'm saying that it's very possible because his voice has deteriorated significantly over the last 10 years. That is the reason why I'm saying he might have voice problems. If he had a problem with jaywalking, then I would say that there might be a big chance of him getting hit by a truck, but I don't hear anything about him jaywalking, so there's no comparison there.

You're the one that said it has nothing to do with his voice and there is nothing wrong...why would you say that? What are you listening to?  How can you listen to John for the last 10 years and not notice? There are articles online about john's throat condition and people all over the net talking about his voice change (in a bad way)...and u can't hear that?

I'm very intrigue when somebody can't hear what is so obvious. Then again, you said you stop being a fan if Robby stopped singing.

I'm in my mid-50's and sometimes I'd prefer not to sleep in my own bed, and would like to go to a hotel in another city.

I am interested in this alien vocal cord abduction theory. I don't remember seeing that on X-Files.

Okay.  I googled it (I will leave out the fact that I pretty much read every piece of news from Google News every day).  Here's what I got from the past couple weeks.


Quote:
"Rzeznik's voice is in its best shape... with more distinction and emotion than ever, and he's retained the rare ability to articulate thoughts in few words (a Lennon-ism)." -- Aquarian Weekly

Rzeznik�s voice treats us to a nice vocal range while singing over his own vocals

Johnny Rzeznik has one of corporate rock's great voices, a sweet and sour treasure that has helped this band sell millions of records and top the charts

�Sweetest Lie� proves to be both catchy and poignant at the same time, a tall order in today�s music world. It has an instantly recognizable guitar lead-in, and frontman Johnny Rzeznik�s voice is a beautiful complement.

And indeed, lead singer John Rzeznik still maintains one of the best rock voices in the business.

With Rzeznik�s recognizable voice on the new songs like �As I Am�, as well as old staples like �Let Love In�, and the ever popular �Name� (Which he thanked the crowd for �remembering that one�), and �Iris� the Goo Goo Dolls showed why they are a St. Louis favorite, just like ooey gooey butter cake.


Now, I'm just a dumb girl and a dumb fan of Robby so maybe I'm googling wrong?  Please, with all sincerity, post some of these recent articles talking about John's deteriorating voice that are all over the internet.  I am too dumb to find them.


And if being 'one of them fans [SIC]' means that I realize Robby is an important part of this band, then yes, I am 'one of them fans' and the GGDs should be terribly grateful to have 'them fans'.
