Johnny Park Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i like the song and don't really care whether or not they chose to be there. but it sounded recorded to me..the instrumental part sounded just fine..but the actual vocals was almost like lip singings. Now I know it is rare to find green day faking a performance..so either they did this time...or the acoustics in the stadium were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everdays Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 After the performance, the single went up 11 spots on the Billboards.Go figure that it takes fucking American Idol to get people to notice ANYTHING. I was on itunes this morning, and now the single is featured in the "what's hot" section. Haha. It just cracks me up that people are so ignorant about new music.Don't like American Idol, but I will never criticize any performer for going on the show to promote a greater cause. Obviously Green Day aren't exactly typical AI material, but I respect their decision to promote an album that goes towards a great cause over their personal preferences.And not to offend anyone, but you're fucking deaf if you think he lipsynched the song... I thought the performance was a bit boring, just not what I'm used to with Green Day. Probably because the song is a bit boring for performing (doesn't mean it's not good though.) That was honestly the only time I can remember ever seeing Billie just stand like a statue and sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitareluver Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I thought that Green Day was all rebel and f*ck the mainstream. Why did they have to burst my whole image of awesome guys by playing on this stupid overly publicized show... I have to admit that this is the biggest error, I guess that the band really are American Idiots... From a new Green Day hater.

skaatelite radio Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I thought it was a horrible performance. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole thing. they should just concentrate on making another album and stop doing all of these covers that come out horrible . Billies voice sounded horrible on this song as well. This made me realize how much better Green Day was years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 well then you can wallow in the pastI respect your opinion and all that jazz, but also bare in mind that this song isn't some loud, crazy, rock n roll fuck yeah songto keep the meaning and message of the song in its truest form it kind of had to be performed in that manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlfecrysis Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Just read this over at Green Day. Net.Message from Brian........ I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone at the Green Day camp for inviting me down to the American Idol finale taping at the Kodak Theater in luscious Hollywood, California. An extra special thanks goes to Adrienne and Billie Joe Armstrong, Bill Schneider, Pat Magnarella, and Doug Goodman. The show was amazing, the seats were awesome ( I was sitting next to Teri Hatcher, Jerry Springer, Brittany Murphy, and David Hasselhoff ) and the performances were incredible. The only disappointing moment came when Ryan Seacrest announced GREEN DAY and instead of seeing Billie Joe, Mike and Tre appear from behind a curtain like so many performers before them ( Joe Perry, Smokey Robinson, Tony Bennett, Bette Midler, Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks ) I saw a video monitor of Green Day performing Working Class Hero that was taped 3 hours prior to the start of the so-called LIVE show. Apparently FOX wouldn't allow Green Day to do their performance live, even though there was a several second time delay for the east coast feed and an over 3 hour time delay for the west coast ( not to mention an entire team of censors waiting to hit the dump button on the Lennon lyrics. ) I'm just glad Fox didn't plan the after party, instead of toasting to the band's appearance on the show they might have had to phone it in.....BrianI think it's so strange Green Day weren't allowed to sing the song live. i bet that kind of pissed Billie and the guys off. No wonder Billie had that kind-of apprehensive smile at the end. I mean, were they just singing w/o an audience in front of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**nobodylikesyou** Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 That was honestly the only time I can remember ever seeing Billie just stand like a statue and sing.Probably the last too. why is there a rumor floating around about how this was pre-recored?,And how they edited the Crowd in?
