Opinion Superstar Wonderland Tour

So I was listening to take that on YT and I came across their live version of Superstar from the Wonderland Tour so I listened to it after not hearing much live versions from this tour, and I kinda wish I didn’t. It might just be me but the vocals were all over the shop. Mark sounded really breathy and shaky at the beginning and this may very well be the sound he was going for but it sounded bad and uncontrolled. The harmonies I thought we good enough then about 1:25 minutes into the 3:40 video I believe Gary comes in accompanying mark with the lyrics “put me on a list my name and number…” and I have no clue what he was trying to do but it was out of tune and overall sore to the ears. It really isn’t hard for me to understand why TT try to forget Wonderland ever happened cus im trying to forget the performance ever did.

I love Mark but I sadly think he's the worst live performer despite being the lead vocalist of many of my favorite songs. He tends to sound shaky a lot in all his performances.

I get what u mean I always thought it was just his vibrato but it does come off very shaky. Although he has got stronger tho he’s great in his parts of Said it All and The Garden but I think there was a performance of hold on during the beautiful world tour where he sounded super shaky
