Milda Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't know much about them, because only today I came across one of their videos on Youtube. And wow, they're pretty much amazing, IMHO From what I've heard, I mostly love the covers they've done, here are some of them: [YOUTUBE]VMhkygcBZdo&feature=relmfu[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]hXRQiCPSDDI&feature=relmfu[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]kOO1tVYGaI8&feature=relmfu[/YOUTUBE] This is what Wikipedia has to say about The Overtones: The Overtones are a five-piece British-Irish doo-wop boy band from London, formed in 2010. They were discovered by a Warner Brothers talent scout while working as decorators in a shop near Oxford Street, singing during their tea break. Their debut album Good Ol' Fashioned Love entered the UK Albums Chart at 16 in November 2010. However, after the re-release of the album in March 2011, it propelled to the high end of the chart at number 4. Anyone else know/like them?

Christine Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would rather hear Ceelo doing Ceelo but the I Need a Dollar is brilliant. That guy has an extraordinary voice. It's so unique and he's got a great tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingkites Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 OMG did you see this? [YOUTUBE]4YehyIXI1Sc&feature=relmfu[/YOUTUBE] I love how everyone on that video has a delicious accent, especially the male host and the Irish guy on the left. I kept listening to that part where he says "the only girl in the world" like a hundred times, it's so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I saw it I must say I'm in love with Lachie's (the guy who's singing lead vocals) voice. I just can't understand why they don't let him sing lead vocals more often.. There's only a few songs where I can hear his beautiful voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're all awfully talented but he's my favourite. I can't stop listening to that Rihanna cover, it's stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I've said to one of my friends I would describe his voice as... sexy, perhaps? And he's so charming, I saw one interview with him and he was just so cute Apparently, he is Australian.. My sister always says Australian males are the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read from Wikipedia that he's from Australia! I couldn't hear that too much from his speech though. Maybe it's just my inability to recognize accents.

Christine Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I love how everyone on that video has a delicious accent, especially the male host and the Irish guy on the left. When I was watching the vids last night I thought oh he must be the Irish one. He reminds me of a couple of guys who worked in our Irish office. Maybe just a lucky guess though. I thought so too at first, but after a few listens, I started to prefer their cover I just like Ceelo's anger/angst, but this guy is a very good singer for sure. Since the Overtones and Mika has similar interests, they could do a tour together like Mika did with the King's Singers.. I would like that. The King's Singers are too old fashioned for me. I'm sure they are great singers but their style doesn't interest me. Yeah I read from Wikipedia that he's from Australia! I couldn't hear that too much from his speech though. Maybe it's just my inability to recognize accents. I didn't hear it at all at first. He must have been in England for quite awhile because his Australian accent is almost gone. I just hope I won't become so obsessed with them, like I am with Mika. One obsession is more than enough :aah: I like a lot of other artists but I don't have the time or energy for another obsession either. I am loving Adele more than Mika at the moment but I still can't obsess over her and keep track of Mika at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingkites Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I didn't hear it at all at first. He must have been in England for quite awhile because his Australian accent is almost gone. That's what I thought too. Surely I wouldn't have even heard it if I hadn't known he is from Australia. I like a lot of other artists but I don't have the time or energy for another obsession either. I am loving Adele more than Mika at the moment but I still can't obsess over her and keep track of Mika at the same time. Mika is my main obsession too, this is the first and only fanclub I belong to. I still follow a lot of other musicians and fangurl over some of them *cough The Strokes cough* but not as intensely I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milda Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just like Ceelo's anger/angst, but this guy is a very good singer for sure. Oh, I see Those guys don't have much anger, that's for sure. As someone commented on that video "Lachie makes 'f**k' sound like such a beautiful word!" I didn't hear it at all at first. He must have been in England for quite awhile because his Australian accent is almost gone. He came to the UK 5 years ago. I like a lot of other artists but I don't have the time or energy for another obsession either.

It's a good thing you said "at the moment" I want to believe this will change when Mika's album comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 He came to the UK 5 years ago. Ah. I was married to a South African and after we were living in England for a couple of years people would ask him what town he was from (in England). He was educated in English schools though so he never had a strong SA accent like people who've grown up as Afrikaners. It's a good thing you said "at the moment" I want to believe this will change when Mika's album comes out Yes hopefully. I find Adele's music more moving than Mika's and always have but Mika is a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly wants to be GOLDEN Photo taken by "Swiss reporter, Stefanie" I just realized I haven't listened to anything else besides these guys today! I had some errands to run today and all I could think of was Lachie singing 'f**k you'. It took huge effort not to burst out singing that to the cashier when I went to do some grocery shopping.

You were sooo right, I wish they had given the lead vocals to Lachie in those too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Did any of you find the performance they talked about doing of For the Longest Time? Sorry if it was posted already, I'm not sure if I watched them all or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
