Leno would never do this. http://theweek.com/article/index/258483/speedreads-billy-joel-and-jimmy-fallon-sing-the-lion-sleeps-tonight-in-six-part-harmony If you take a risk, you may lose.

Hence Fallon's commercial value to the youtube world. |

| zippyboy Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 2 Posts: 665 | Just calls attention to the fact that any talentless bozo with a laptop can publish music from his basement. Add autotune and Pro Tools, and there's no reason to learn a real instrument anymore. Just like some kids today think they're athletes just because they play Madden on Xbox, or think they could survive in Iraq because they got to *whatever* level in Call of Duty. Was kinda cool though, but Fallon needs singing lessons. |

Just like 20 million other people, I'm sure. 10 years ago, something like it (a mix/overdub/etc) for my PC cost 150.00. Now it's 1.99 as an app. Man. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | There's something endearing about a classic like Billy Joel doing something like this with Jimmy Fallon. Joel is so mega talented, and Fallon is so mostly lame. It works somehow.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
