If his Mic was deliberately shut off not cool at all.

Geez and it looked bad because they had a closeup of him singing.

Me too. She is a class act and seems like she is so into music of all kinds.

I think it's a bit silly comparing The Beatles and Kanye West....Kanye will never be remembered in the way The Beatles are.
By your generation maybe.
Precisely. The voice in my head is my mom saying, "The Beatles will NEVER be remember 50 years from now like Glenn Miller is!" And she meant it, too. For the person who asked about covers of Kanye West songs, just Google. There are zillions, and whole web pages devoted to reviewing and evaluating them Seriously, some folks on this board sound more like my parents every day. Personally, I'm not a fan of most current music, including most hip hop. But that does NOT mean it's without value. It's simply speaking a language I'm not tuned in to -- just like the Beatles were speaking a language that was foreign to my parents.

I doubt Paul's mic was off on purpose. Probably a technical glitch. At least he wasn't singing lead vocal.

Still looked bad when camera was on him and you did not hear his voice, oh well..
-
I don't think it was ever meant to actually be on. Like the video, it's just for show, to make Paul look more involved.

I agree. I finally got to see, I think the mic was more of a prop. In fact, much of what we heard sounded like a backing track, I was even wondering whether the lead vocals were also pre-recorded. Paul's guitar too. After the performance he did some strumming and nothing was heard. That Taylor guitar he played is very cool!

Then they should not have had the camera on him when he was supposedly singing live.

Why don't you write them a letter? Let them know how you feel.

They showed him more than Kanye, for sure.

There are lots of Kanye covers. There's a whole generation that loves him. A generation may be all that it takes, regardless of what our generation thinks. Not saying he's "better or greater" than the Beatles, just that his musical reputation and influence were established before the world knew his face or public antics, and before anyone had ever seen a Kardashian on TV.Wow. Can you give an example of a work composed by Kanye and covered by another popular artist? Not being provocative, I just am interested in this sort of thing.
Popular artists don't really cover each other's songs anymore. I'm talking about amateurs on YouTube, which is what young people care about. Maybe Jimmy Fallon, if you're lucky. (Lord, help me, is he our arbiter of good taste??)

My point is I am not convinced the sounds are coverable. We have turned a corner in popular music. Rap is not a coverable medium. It seems to be more about the moment, like everything these days.
