@@user-vt4hd8hb4vI don't know that's what they're talking about. Bob Dylan is just not very well musically trained. That doesn't mean his singing is bad, the end result is great as it is and also it's kind of his style. People like it. But in this footage he is clearly struggling. Also, I think this doesn't have anything to do with how "big" he is. He's one of the greatest but his real strength lies more in poetry than in making music. It's kind of like putting a talented high school big band member into a top symphony orchestra, they're just not on the same musical level but they would probably still make great music together.
Stevie is harmonizing FOR Bob because he is fokking lost like Hansel and Gretel in the dark, deep forest, or even worse, he feels like in a jungle. Just no idea what to sing. pretty bad of a "legend."
I’m down a We Are the World rabbit hole after watching the Netflix documentary. Very impressed with the work of Quincy Jones and the vocal arranger, Tom Bahler. It was fascinating to hear Bahler spot the beauty of each voice and use the contrasting styles for one purpose. The respect many of the artists had for one another was cool to watch also.
Osama Bin Laden He was the one that got them hooked on Marijuana and also the one that got them writing more literary stuff. Rolling stone has him ranked one on their list of most influential artists
The beauty of this song comes from everyone singing in their own style and not trying to be like everyone else. It wouldn't be as good without Bob Dylan's part.
I remember watching the video when I was younger, in 1985, and thinking to myself "why does that guy singblike that?" I was born and raised in the Philippines and never heard of him until i came to live in the US. Watching the netflix documentary clearly made Bob Dylan's part my most favorite. And Stevie, what a phenomenal talent!
The guy at the Radio station I used to listen was also in love with his music, he used to play it all the time, it was nice listening to him introduce Bob as the Man and his music, that was years ago but I still remember
@@kirilllllubnin I thought he was a singer-songwriter. Do you mean his lyrics and poetry works are better than singing? (His voice is tasteful but I know you can't say he is a good singer)
There’s something so beautiful about this. All super stars In their different genres. No ego, no rushing, no tantrums, just dedicated artists working something out and supporting each other.
@rifstr he perfectly knows what he's good at, which is not singing "we are the world". he'd like to play it frankly without bringing aesthetic matters into play, but the fact that everybody is cheering him up is humiliating. so he sometimes has a hard time not telling them to shut the fuck up. like he didn't know that everybody knew it was just a matter of making it not so bad that it had to be cut, with no chance at all of it being "good". but everybody (apart from stevie) was too nervous to behave.
Final product: There’s a choice we’re making: 6:11 - 6:15 We’re saving our own lives: 5:41 - 5:44 It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me 6:18 - 6:24 It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me 8:01 - 8:07
Yep. And i think he knew it wasn’t his thing but if i remember right, he asked to be a part of it. I love Dylan and watching him and Stevie together is awesome.
Our man was after a coke & alcohol bender…its pretty obv…ofc they were supportive and encouraging because they wanted to wrap it up and get the next artist in to record
Huge respect for Dylan as someone not renowned for his amazing vocals to throw himself into this and stick with it. He was there all night and got the job done.
I'm not much of a Dylan fan but I will say that he seemed to be focused on the real meaning of the song and that's what comes out in his singing. Yes, it was also nice to see the encouragement he received from the others.
And yet when you hear the finished product everything just sits perfectly. Bob being included in this ensemble was the right idea after all. His voice in Girl from The North Country was heavenly ✨
The encouragement that he receives from Stevie, Quincy and Lionel is nothing short of amazing. That's why these people are great, they see the best in others.
Well, they needed to get home and get some food. It was obvious this cat wasn´t going to come trough by himself. Out of tune, out of rhythm and out of sense. Quincy was probably thinking about his recording session with Ringo. uffff
You can see how daunting it was for Bob to be around really great vocalists so it was great to see them being so helpful and encouraging to make him more comfortable.
So beautiful to see the two greatest geniuses of my generation, Dylan and Wonder, rehearse together. It does not get better than that. Note that Stevie's little lines in between are all in E penta.
Yeah, he shouldn't have to struggle to remember the lyrics, considering how his own lyrics are among the most complicated out there (on a side note, I feel like my brain consists of 15% Dylan lyrics, I can recite plenty of them), but in the official video for this song many of the artists are looking at a sheet of paper, so it looks like they also struggled to remember the lyrics.
Clearly you never recorded a song while listening to it for the first time. Trust me, it's really hard to remember everything and sing at the same time...
This is like discovering a forgotten VHS cassette of Bob's graduation elementary school exams where Stevie is moving around in his on world surrounded by angels, Diana is feeling herself, and Quincy as the perfect guiding teacher who will always be there for you and Lionel, the gentle host... The spirit of Michael is there from the start. Thank you for this stardom piece of history of art ✨🙏
You thought Diana was feeling herself? I found her to be very sweet--- asking people if they could autograph her sheet music, and crying that the experience was over at the end of the night.
Me encanta, su estilo tan diferente a todos, fuera de lo que acostumbra, el siempre, consiguió dejar huella en esa maravillosa canción, ahora lo escucho y me gusta Bob 😊😊 su estilo es muy especial
Anytime I struggle with a song, I think about this. Once I almost gave up on a song. Saw this. Went back and got it done. Sometimes it's not inability. It's self doubt. There's a big lesson here folks!
Azahr Malik he has no talent? Win a Nobel prize for literature and get back to me. Here he is singing a gospel song 20 years out of his prime. Play guitar while playing harmonica and then tell me about talent
@@kingkong4934 he struggled probably because he got the lines only when he walked in. And then it's not his style at all. Then there is the question of comfort pitch. To be honest the condescending attitude in the room was off-putting. But that's prolly just me. In any case we don't know the background. We see a clip and jump to conclusions. But personally it was really reassuring.
It's not just his voice, he's not a great singer technically, and he struggles with the melody and hitting the right notes, and he feels embarrassed being around such vocalists like Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick etc whose technical singing ability was integral to their careers. Btw, saying Dylan is not a technically accomplished singer is not hating on him. He found a style in which his voice works wonderfully, which together with his songwriting skills built his career. But stepping out of his comfort zone is obviously daunting to him, and I completely understand.
Props to Bob. He was so out of his comfort zone and he did it anyway. And masterful producing by Q; smooth, encouraging and positive, even when Bob was floundering. And to have Stevie be your accompanist while you’re learning your part. Not bad at all.
bob dylan's voice suits his style, if you come accustomed to it you start to hear a beauty in his timbre. Him going out of his comfort zone for such a cause and absolutely killing it is amazing.
I’m sorry and I know that honest minds differ, but I think your affinity for Bob Dylan, understandable as it is, is biasing your judgment here. There’s just no respectful way to say it: he sounds horrible on this song and his voice is discernibly and noticeably of a lesser quality than literally every single other singer.
@@bredenis5 some people just prefer imperfect voices. I think he sounds awesome with his unique phrasing and adds just as much to the song as the others!
@@alexlackner1945 i’m really trying to appreciate your point of view and I’m not necessarily disagreeing but kind of thinking in my mind would somebody say the same thing about somebody who was playing an instrument poorly? I don’t know that there would be any type of affinity for or appreciation of somebody playing something off key and chalk it up to their nuanced style.
@@bredenis5good point but think of the punk movement or bands like pavement. They made a pretty good living out of playing their instruments rather poorly and even off-key! Or the way Josh Homme alters his scales to give QOTSA songs their unique vibe. Or Tom Waits' junkyard percussion... there are many examples in music where going against the grain can produce something very interesting and unique. Yes it may be an aquired taste and not for everyone - but there's nothing i find more bland and boring than casting shows looking for the "perfect" voice...
Dylan is Dylan. No one else. His brand of music is his alone and for that, he'll always be remembered as Bob Dylan, no a-like ... His music A legend...❤
Bob není zpěvák pro sborový zpěv, je solitér a originál. Přesto to s pomocí zejména Stevieho krásně zvládl. Jeho projev je jedinečný a výjimečný. Je klenot. Obdivuji ho.
You can definitely tell this is out of his comfort zone and the fact that he was still willing to try and ask for help and everyone was being so kind to him is beautiful ❤️love this
Bob Dylan being Bob Dylan. We're lucky to see it in real time and I'll be honest, I appreciate seeing his insecurities among the world's top singers from that era. He's surrounded by encouraging artists, that's great to see.
If I sounded that bad, I'd be insecure too. Someone early on in life should have pulled him to the side & said "Bobby, maybe you should give up on singing & focus your attention on something more pleasing to the ears." May I suggest doily making. Song writing is a lost art I think you could excell in. But, please, under no circumstance should you ever come within 10 ft of a microphone. For the love of God, don't even look in the direction of a microphone.
@@yaksak2706 Nobel prize in literature, 51 successful albums, 200 sold out concerts a year, sold his song catalog for $350 million dollars. They’re all wrong. You’re right.
Bod Dylan ended up being one of my favorite song writer of time... A great storyteller. Listen to Knocking on heavens door, Shelter from the storm, How does it feel etc. A true Legend!
at 6:33 he turns to look at Stevie and points, without realising that he turns to speak to a blind guy while there's music playing, hand gesture hilarious...
@@RG-pi4xr nah, I think he chose Stevie, because, he likely was the one he knew best. They started out at the same time, whereas most of the others were a new generation.
To all aspiring musicians and artists out there: just make sure you get started and keep going. See? Even the absolute masters still had their moments of flaw and doubt. Learn as much as you can on the way, stay open, but, never let any lack/inability stop you from reaching.
You become connected to your own stuff a lot easier especially with how you unconsciously make it work for your voice. He’s trying to visualise and translate words on a page to performance it’s harder than you’d think.
@Donna King, yeah it's not his style here that's the issue, his voice is just shot to hell. And I was a teen loving Dylan and now a senior citizen loving the teen Dylan. Not sure quite what went wrong with his voice. Could be some health issue - ?? Love his style too though, man this was quite rough he could have sung it not sure why he was so confused. I found it hard to watch...there are other clips of singers not getting their parts right either though the focus on a legend will get you more clicks!!
@@carolyndiffenderfer6181 He never wrote a song, just one. He is Just a name. And here he is confirming litterally what i have just said. Watch this he will tell you directly whats up with him...

Well, you will trust him then for sure . here... ua-cam.com/video/m_wAZ02JUtM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YBnEllMmbLg/v-deo.html You know who owns the music industry, they made him.
@@hetjamesfield4473 are you a moron? Where in either of those does he mention he wrote none of his own shit? Go learn how to comprehend a little better big man.
He can't sing like the others but I think there's something solemnly raw and visceral in the way he's singing his lines. When I hear the whole song i'm always waiting for him.
In my humble opinion, Bob and Michael did the absolute best jobs on the finished record. And seeing Michael absolutely smash it as usual and that bob needed some help just makes it all the better I love them both
Bob dylan was clearly the most uncomfortable that entire night and almost seemed like he was going to say F this, but he had amazing encouragement and legends around him where everyone checked their egos at the door, and he nailed it
This is just beautiful one legend to another great legend Bob Dylan.. Still to this day this tears me.. to all the greatest legends we lost.. RIP.. we are definitely the world...
Dylan has his own voice. He's not recognized as a singer par excellence, but right from the first time I heard this song, his solo lifted the whole thing higher than any of the others before him. Dylan and then Ray Charles: magic.
I was born in the 90’s but can instantly recognize bob dylan voice in this song besides MJ, cyndi lauper, & springsteen. Theyre just unique in their own ways

@@AslanW lol 🤣 I feel You :)
He has kind of an unique voice and I think he doesn't want it to stand out and ruin the harmony.
@Exnem - Yep, those bum notes really stand out on their own...
It's not just his voice, he's not a great singer technically, and he struggles with the melody and hitting the right notes, and he feels embarrassed being around such vocalists like Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick etc whose technical singing ability was integral to their careers.
Btw, saying Dylan is not a technically accomplished singer is not hating on him. He found a style in which his voice works wonderfully, which together with his songwriting skills built his career. But stepping out of his comfort zone is obviously daunting to him, and I completely understand.
@@Rasbiffthe most sensible and perceptive comment I’ve read on here yet~
But I completely agree with OP that he doesn’t want his unique voice to stand out
Geezus, he's nervous as heck but still sings it perfect.
He sounds like he’s recording the sound track to toy story
Pete11377 haha wtf
True
The OG Randy Newman
6:26 Stevie living and celebrating when Bob let himself lose a bit more with his singing is so honest and wholesome
mrpurple11 authentic. Loved it.
Beautiful
Obviuosly, he is fed up!
I love how Bob looks to him and points as for Stevie to react bahaha, so precious
He's so precious 🥺
I don't know, but I'm moved and touched.
I think It's so beautiful time. Thank you, Bob. I feeled again Your voice is really excellent!!
Props to Bob. He was so out of his comfort zone and he did it anyway. And masterful producing by Q; smooth, encouraging and positive, even when Bob was floundering. And to have Stevie be your accompanist while you’re learning your part. Not bad at all.
It's great to see Bob singing his heart out on a song that is not his own, in a genre that's clearly outside of his comfort zone. Kudos to him!
i like the struggle in his voice. he always does it right though
That's an awesome point,
You are so on point with that
Every song was out of his comfort zone at that point in his life.
That "genre" being singing.
bob dylan's voice suits his style, if you come accustomed to it you start to hear a beauty in his timbre. Him going out of his comfort zone for such a cause and absolutely killing it is amazing.
Same with Cindy Lauper but you still see a ton of ppl talking shit on her..
I’m sorry and I know that honest minds differ, but I think your affinity for Bob Dylan, understandable as it is, is biasing your judgment here. There’s just no respectful way to say it: he sounds horrible on this song and his voice is discernibly and noticeably of a lesser quality than literally every single other singer.
@@bredenis5 some people just prefer imperfect voices. I think he sounds awesome with his unique phrasing and adds just as much to the song as the others!
@@alexlackner1945 i’m really trying to appreciate your point of view and I’m not necessarily disagreeing but kind of thinking in my mind would somebody say the same thing about somebody who was playing an instrument poorly? I don’t know that there would be any type of affinity for or appreciation of somebody playing something off key and chalk it up to their nuanced style.
@@bredenis5good point but think of the punk movement or bands like pavement. They made a pretty good living out of playing their instruments rather poorly and even off-key! Or the way Josh Homme alters his scales to give QOTSA songs their unique vibe. Or Tom Waits' junkyard percussion... there are many examples in music where going against the grain can produce something very interesting and unique. Yes it may be an aquired taste and not for everyone - but there's nothing i find more bland and boring than casting shows looking for the "perfect" voice...
Dylan is Dylan. No one else. His brand of music is his alone and for that, he'll always be remembered as Bob Dylan, no a-like ... His music
A legend...❤
Bob není zpěvák pro sborový zpěv, je solitér a originál. Přesto to s pomocí zejména Stevieho krásně zvládl. Jeho projev je jedinečný a výjimečný. Je klenot. Obdivuji ho.
He doesn't really sing, he just talks melodically.
That's because he is a poet, not a singer.
@@fornostios8970 I agree.
No he definitely does not sing.
Dave C you okay ?
@@bobdylan8364 probably not.
Stevie Wonder always reminds me of a seal the way he moves his head.
Hahahha me too
@@natureprofonde9945 Did you laugh also?
🤣
Racist
Hahaha so true.
Olha a humildade do Bob Dylan em pedir ajuda para Steve Wonder.
Its very endearing to watch Bob Dylan trying hard to get it right. ❤❤
You can definitely tell this is out of his comfort zone and the fact that he was still willing to try and ask for help and everyone was being so kind to him is beautiful ❤️love this
True Artists❤
Bob Dylan being Bob Dylan. We're lucky to see it in real time and I'll be honest, I appreciate seeing his insecurities among the world's top singers from that era. He's surrounded by encouraging artists, that's great to see.
They understand each other's style and know what it's like to be in that position.
If I sounded that bad, I'd be insecure too. Someone early on in life should have pulled him to the side & said "Bobby, maybe you should give up on singing & focus your attention on something more pleasing to the ears." May I suggest doily making. Song writing is a lost art I think you could excell in. But, please, under no circumstance should you ever come within 10 ft of a microphone. For the love of God, don't even look in the direction of a microphone.
i dont think hes insecure
@@yaksak2706 ............... bruh hes one of the best artists
@@yaksak2706 Nobel prize in literature, 51 successful albums, 200 sold out concerts a year, sold his song catalog for $350 million dollars.
They’re all wrong. You’re right.
Bod Dylan ended up being one of my favorite song writer of time... A great storyteller. Listen to Knocking on heavens door, Shelter from the storm, How does it feel etc. A true Legend!
Is “How Does It Feel” “Like A Rolling Stone?”
Seeing Steve smile is just beautiful
Bob looks like an atheist who’s forced to sing in a church.
Lol lol 😝
jajajaja
Accept he is not an atheist he believes in the God of this world he said
Best comment ever 😂🤣
@@nathanblades3395 yeah but he said it just as a joke. Cause he does legit look like an atheist at a church choir practice haha
He's clutching the word sheets with a death grip
You Might Think he Love you for your Money but I know what he really loves you for it’s your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat
@@jldoubleu4993 Brilliant lol
SLUMBER TERROR MY CALVARY
@@jldoubleu4993 are those words to a bob dylan song? Not ringing a bell right now 😒
@@lindaallen9409 It is the title of a Death Grips song, which references the title of a Bob Dylan song.
Very cool to see these geniuses put ego aside and make something wonderful for the rest of us. Stevie is the man.
Being a teen in the 80s who was into 80s Dylan was the best
at 6:33 he turns to look at Stevie and points, without realising that he turns to speak to a blind guy while there's music playing, hand gesture hilarious...
Lol
Whahahaha
xd
Lol hes so nervous he just turned to the closest person for reassurance
@@RG-pi4xr nah, I think he chose Stevie, because, he likely was the one he knew best. They started out at the same time, whereas most of the others were a new generation.
I love Dylan’s perfectionism and humble nature. The support he’s receiving is really beautiful. All legends.
But where😂? Are Ridiculous, Perfezionist are Freddie Mercury
Yess👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well said
What type of drugs are you on?
I can feel it too... the perfectionism.
In this beautiful song I'm just waiting for Bob's turn, there's something special about his input fantastic 👏
To all aspiring musicians and artists out there: just make sure you get started and keep going. See? Even the absolute masters still had their moments of flaw and doubt. Learn as much as you can on the way, stay open, but, never let any lack/inability stop you from reaching.
Bob Dylan has written so many lyrics that he remembers at his shows. He can't take his eyes off the paper for two lines.
You become connected to your own stuff a lot easier especially with how you unconsciously make it work for your voice. He’s trying to visualise and translate words on a page to performance it’s harder than you’d think.
Maybe he didn't really write his own stuff. Maybe the Beatles didn't either.
@@coolnamebro cool story bro
Laughed out loud...hilarity, this is so true
It's probably him being nervous.
Q "That's perfect man."
B "If you say so."
Quincy Jones is so kind here. What a champ.
Questa è vera amicizia fra due geni e talentuosi cantanti, quanta umilta da imitare, che buon❤❤❤❤❤❤ esempio
His style is so different that he found it difficult to interject. Love his style.
@Donna King, yeah it's not his style here that's the issue, his voice is just shot to hell. And I was a teen loving Dylan and now a senior citizen loving the teen Dylan. Not sure quite what went wrong with his voice. Could be some health issue - ?? Love his style too though, man this was quite rough he could have sung it not sure why he was so confused. I found it hard to watch...there are other clips of singers not getting their parts right either though the focus on a legend will get you more clicks!!
@@carolyndiffenderfer6181 He never wrote a song, just one. He is Just a name. And here he is confirming litterally what i have just said. Watch this he will tell you directly whats up with him... He did nothing himself + no talent at all. Sry but those are facts. Dont trust me? Well, you will trust him then for sure . here... ua-cam.com/video/m_wAZ02JUtM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YBnEllMmbLg/v-deo.html You know who owns the music industry, they made him.
@@hetjamesfield4473 are you a moron? Where in either of those does he mention he wrote none of his own shit? Go learn how to comprehend a little better big man.
Yeah
5:36 the best take by far
He can't sing like the others but I think there's something solemnly raw and visceral in the way he's singing his lines. When I hear the whole song i'm always waiting for him.
Yeah !!! TO RUIN IT !!!!!
Nono it's the best part trust me
@@SciakkaPRODUCTION lol its good but not best, michael's gives me chills everytime
It's as if he's speaking from his soul
I agree!
The encouragement is just fabulous. What a lovely bunch of people. Better times
In my humble opinion, Bob and Michael did the absolute best jobs on the finished record. And seeing Michael absolutely smash it as usual and that bob needed some help just makes it all the better
I love them both
Engineer: "that's beautiful man."
Also engineer: "were going to erase this shit when he leaves today"
😂😂😂😭 Exactly! 😭😭
Quincy Jones, audio engineer
Lmfao
easleyrider hahahaaa
QJ has also produced the whole song. Some studio engineer! 😂
Bob had written and recorded like 15 masterpiece albums by the time he recorded this. Gotta love him.
correction.... closer to 30
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan_discography
según Bob nunca escribió ni compuso una canción solo vendió su alma al diablo y alcanzó la fama ,lo dice mismo no yo buscarlo y vereis
@@araceliferrerueladual1005 otro pelotudo
@@dylannaenzo9737 theyre not all masterpieces
Bob dylan was clearly the most uncomfortable that entire night and almost seemed like he was going to say F this, but he had amazing encouragement and legends around him where everyone checked their egos at the door, and he nailed it
Bob Dylan will always be an absolute Legend ❤
"Do it one more time Stevie!" I love him so much he is so precious
It made me so happy when he Bob was like "Hey stevie, can you play that for me" 😄
Cada vez mais, apaixonada nessa música,eu amo ver cada detalhe,cada erro,cada acerto gente e tudo incrível
Bob era tímido? Cadê o Prince?
He nailed it at the 6 minute and change part, This man is one of the most underrated singers EVER
LMMFAO, have you had a hearing test lately 🤡🙄🥱
No way
Stevie is a good guy. A very decent soul.
8:21
Bob: "You can erase that"
Quincy: "Say no more"
Ejemplo de humildad....grandes cantantes juntos que ya no veremos mas
This is just beautiful one legend to another great legend Bob Dylan.. Still to this day this tears me.. to all the greatest legends we lost.. RIP.. we are definitely the world...
Dylan has his own voice. He's not recognized as a singer par excellence, but right from the first time I heard this song, his solo lifted the whole thing higher than any of the others before him. Dylan and then Ray Charles: magic.
My favorite parts too. People dog Dylan but I've come to love the guy.
Stevie & Bruce was my favourite part
I was born in the 90’s but can instantly recognize bob dylan voice in this song besides MJ, cyndi lauper, & springsteen. Theyre just unique in their own ways
He sucked big time, I would never allowed him to participate in this high standard vocal performance work.
4:37 when your mom tells you to *do your little dance* infront of company
Underrated comment
Bruhhhhhhhhh!!!
What is lovely to see, in this and the other videos, is the mutual respect and love shown by the participants.
I loved this when I first saw it. It made me feel like Bob really cares about how he sounds and works diligently to keep his voice beautiful 💕
