Quite nice, although the sailor moon cosplay could have been kicked up a notch.

“They sing beautifully” No! Speaking as objectively as one can, these girls do not sing beautifully. It is what the film-makers fop the 1920s might have portrayed as pretentious, but even THEN everyone knew it was just awful.

Perhaps they have slightly above par tone tot ehir voices, but they can’t breath, they sound weak, and they drift out of tune frequently.

Dude, lay off the crack pipe. They were horrible in that video too. Another 60 seconds I won’t get back!

Also: they apparently hit it huge. Quality can be created, taught, or faked, but fame (without funding) is just luck.

oh the cynicism it burns.

I don’t know how to interpret this, so I’ll let Fry do it for me.

“Teenage years do not exactly qualify as “childhood” ”

Approximately half of them do.

Stay away from my daughters until you figure that out.

The videos are indeed horrendous train wrecks of shitty production and a lack of even slightly interesting ideas but the girls can sing reasonably well. There’s room for improvement no doubt, but their singing is at least as good as your average pop-star’s voice.

Whoever has done the sound production needs to never listen to another 80s prog rock CD again though.

Yeah, they just sing so hard all nearby blank CDs vibrate away into finished recordings.

Yeah I watched their Odos Oneiron video out of curiosity, and they do have good voices – just horrible music videos and picking songs that just doesn’t fit them.

Yet another insidious American plan to rule the world by destroying our IQ! After a mere 10 seconds blood was pouring from my nose…After 15 seconds I had an irrational urge to watch an episode of ‘Saved by the Bell’….Run, save yourselves….Arrrggggg!

The videos are perfect for virality. Can’t decide if terrific master plan, or horrible amateur directing.

Hmm… yes, “off” is what I was also thinking, and yes that’s probably why. They have really good voices, but with a “but”, and the two songs above just didn’t sit with them at all. They have lots of potential, but they should find their own voices.

No insult to these young performers: these girls have some talent.

Looking past these (admittedly awful) videos; it could be said these girls can sing. But I call them ‘girls’; not young ladies:

They are still in an embryonic stage. Talent-wise; naturally. There is a great deal of room for growth…but I have to be concerned with the direction they are being led: ‘Come Sail Away’ in sailor-suits???

Regardless: Juilliard bound or TMZ fodder…I wish them luck.

I can’t really talk shit: I’ve never made a better video. :D

Oh David, how dare you tarnish the great name that is Styx. Survivor may have committed many sins in their past, but they did not deserve this. Shame, David. Shame. I order 10 Hail Marys to you.

Back in my college days, when one of the roommates cooked something, interesting could also mean: “it sucks”.
