Troye Sivan - "My My My!"

[Deleted]

His performance of this on SNL was... interesting. I love how explicitly gay he is, I just wish he had more vocal talent. The performance got better as it got on, but I've always thought he's had A material and a C level voice at best. Doubt it will hold him back at all though.

I think he is on the Rihanna's scale. He sounds amazing recorded, not so well live. He has a beautiful voice, but his range and control are not that great

[thezatch]

The band was totally unnecessary. Pull them, give him a few dancers and the performance could have been 100x better.

This is why I can’t fully stan for Troye Sivan. I think he has some interesting material and this is a great song. But everytime he performs im reminded he just cannot sing.

But the truth is 90% of pop singers are not better than him live.
For every Bruno Mars or Sam Smith that sound amazing live you have 9 singers who doesn't sound as remotely as good as recorded (and in some cases they are pretty disastrous live).
I think his problem (like Rihanna or Shawn Mendes) is that he sounds really great recorded, his voice is deep and rich, so the dissapointment is bigger

[Choco]

Whoa, he needs to work on his live performances. Early Rihanna had the same problem, but she got vocal training for years and she's, at worst, decent when performing live now.

That performance was bad and I love this song what's wrong with his hair. He can't sing live that's really sad.

You have to admitt there is too much back track during the chorus and he just talks during the verses. Messy performance and as a catty gay it's totally a wierd performance.

He was also probably pretty nervous, and rightfully so. SNL is a huge stage, and this was his first huge U.S. performance.

[wjr15]

Just heard this song for the first time and I love it. I hope this becomes a hit to make up for Youth not doing well

[McCreerian (Harris 2024!)]

I enjoyed both his SNL performances. I just wish he had been in a skit too.

[Deleted]

So cute. Vocals were slightly underwhelming for me on MMM, but good nonetheless. :) Love both tracks. Im stoked to hear the record as a whole.

That SNL performance was just.... bad, and not in the meme-able funny way like Lana Del Rey’s back in 2012. He really can’t sing, there’s no resonance or power behind his voice (a la Selena Gomez)— especially in the verses. He must be compressed to the max in the studio

[cause_for_celebration]

Snl performance was dreadful, but I heard him perform this acoustically on Elvis Duran this morning and I enjoyed it.

I don't think Lana found that performance funny. It stopped her mainstream career for a good while.
Selena's case must be one of the better examples of x factor, because that's the only explanation, she has a weak voice, she is a really bad performer, she has zero stage presence and her songs are pure formula (with some exceptions) but she is probably the most successful singer of that group of age.

Troye should go through vocal training, it would be good for him not only to his perfomance but to his career in general. And i think of him and Lorde making a duo and i have nightmare withe the dance.
I know Lorde defends her dance moves, but both seem pretty disjointed on stage. It's not like try to emulate Michael Jackson, but some dance classes would help to improve the stage presence.

I find curious (and positive) how much praise he received from bing names (from Adele to Sam Smith). Generally newcomers are not that wellcome on the industry specially if they don't came to fame in a a more traditional way

I like this a lot. Hopefully this is his breakthrough hit on Pop.

I’d argue that the Lana SNL performance actually put her on the map a little more, despite it being bad. It wasn’t a career ending one a la Ashlee Simpson circa 2004.

Maybe Troye has a good industry reputation or something, because I don’t really get it.

Huh, I'm typically pretty harsh on vocal performances but I didn't think that one was nearly as bad as you guys are saying. Maybe my expectations were really low after reading the comments, and I didn't really watch so much as listen in the background, but they sounded about what I expected: a little shaky and pitchy, with a rough beginning, but not really memorable in a good or bad way. I was still bopping my head to the song.
