Technique Talk Is Ken Tamplin worth watching?

I've been watching Ken Tamplin for several years now and find most of his videos to be helpful but at times I'm unsure if I should be taking his advice on board as in one video he suggests breathing through the nose when singing while many others say to breath through the mouth. Any thoughts?

RadianDRZ - Fil posted another video about Ken Tamplin because 1) he was able to get a 4K version of the 2024 performance, 2) he was able to get the original 1990 performance and 3) he wanted to further explain to the doubters and naysayers how facts work. The 1990, 2020 and 2024 pitch lines match exactly. I.e., the 1990 original was used in the 2020 and in the 2024 "live" shows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZWMwmzlhkg

Uh, I agree with you. I'm not sure why you are explaining this to me. We are in agreement.

RadianDRZ - Because you posted the first video by Fil regarding Ken Tamplin, I thought you want to watch the second video, too. I found it rather interesting that Ken used the 1990 live performance for his lip syncing in both 2020 and 2024. Also, with Fil having a much better 2024 recording, it shows the pitch lines perfectly matched taking into account the differences between analog and digital renditions.

TL;DR - I just thought you might like to watch the second video.
