Think Drake’s singing skills have regressed both in person and in music
His singing in songs is still okay. He has just become a really lazy live performer. I think those 5 years off have done damage to him and the understandable but he's gotta be ready when that tour comes. He should be spending weeks rehearsing for that tour.
Mfs dropping thousands to see this in the summer
This is just one song. There are probably like 3-5 songs like this in his catalog that he struggles to perform and that's because he has to sing them, but he can just stick to his rap records on stage and be okay.

Hope he leaves this off tbh, never been crazy about the song anyways. I didn’t drop thousands to go but I’m paying 200+ a ticket and I’d be mad if this is the caliber of performance we get

Like I said, that's just one song. Drake's shows are very energetic and bombastic so you won't see him just strolling on stage or not reciprocating the crowd's energy. I just think he needs to spend more time working on how he will deliver certain R&B/Pop cuts in his catalog (if he wants to perform them) and he needs to brush up on actually rapping his songs and not just having a vocal track playing loud throughout and pointing the mic at the crowd.
Song doesn't even seem that hard to sing live because it's not like there's a s*** ton of autotune on the actual track. He's just become a really lazy singer. His singing live was way stronger back in 2012-2014. I saw him on tour back then and he was singing his full R&B records well enough and without autotune back then.
I don't know what all the rehearsal pics he posts are for if he just spends all his time jumping around and pointing his mic to the crowd in his performances. Those things are part of a performance, but you've got to actually RAP and SING your s*** mostly first.
Hit the nail on the head
I saw him on would you like a tour in LA and the vocal chops were soooo much better than what it is now
Eye think to your point, a lot of the records he records now are not full blown singing records and as a result he doesn’t feel emboldened to actually work on his singing and it shows when he has to perform big time singing records like Passionfruit in 2023
What da hell happened to this man. Somebody please tell me. WTF
He pampered himself into perpetual state of delusion
I could give him a pass since these are his first legit performances in like 5 years but if he knows he can't find a way to do this song justice on stage, he might as well skip it. He also butchers Passionfruit on stage whenever he does it.
Weren't you the one defending him charging historically high prices for concerts and saying he was great live?

If he won't work on his singing, that's fine. He doesn't have to. He should just refrain from performing those songs live.
He’s never been good at singing hi tempo songs live but he’s obviously regressed a ton
But when you’re making albums like her loss and your biggest records are knife talk and s***, the impetus to actually practice singing disappears, I’d imagine.
Like this isn’t take care nothing was the same thank me later where he has to split the time evenly with singing.

Him not being a decent singer live anymore doesn't mean he isn't great to see live. Most of his songs are rap songs and he does those fine.

Idk it’s really hard to perform internationally and not do one dance and Passionfruit
Maybe domestically he could get away with it but one dance is a huge record for him
Think he’s just going to have to clean this s*** up in one way or another (or maybe not he’s getting the bag whether his singing is good or not 🤷🏾♂️)

Fine doesn't justify many hundreds of dollars for nosebleeds

Get at Ticketmaster ma boy.
even on SNL with planned sound design it was still mediocre. best version is the soundclash one

That’s what I’m curious about. He’s always rehearsing but most of his performances are crowd work
When he’s performs this at the o2 it’s been cool. I think he used backing vocal though usually
I kinda sympathise with performing a high energy rap show and having to perform this being kind of difficult but he gotta find the best way
Not his best performance but lets hope it's not like this on the tour at least when he comes to my city
