Spoke to a few people about this and they agreed, the guy has zero talent. Probably took hours to nail one song in the studio, because every time I hear him singing live he just shouts the songs and clips most of his words. Last night on The Brits he was terrible, just doing a vulgar characture of his already horrible grinding sheeeeeeeiney voice.

I partially agree - the last few times I've heard Oasis live in the past 2-3 years, his voice has been pretty bad. He was warned years ago his singing style would probably damage his voice. Still, the rest of the band were on good form.

He was on top form for the Manchester live show (that was aired on channel 4 and on youtube).

Months and months of world touring does take its toll. Time to relax will do his voice the world of good.

He was way better by the ITV 2 show. (rock 'n' roll star)

That's the thing, they weren't that great on the night, but still blew everyone out of water. Liams voice doesn't need to be on top form, his stage presence alone makes him the best front man since Johnny Rotten.

That's what I reckon. He's always been rough live anyway except on certain occasions. That's not the point though.

Sex Pistols were a punk band. Noel Gallagher writes heart felt indie ballads and then Liam murders them by shouting them and removing most of the melody. Stage presence alone just isn't enough IMO.

Well lets me honest. Liam doesn't shout the ballads now does he.

Last night was about Rock and Roll durin' Liams songs, and it's there the greatness lies.

They were probably told to do it by the organisers in order to reflect the significance of the 'lifetime achievement' award.

I doubt that's true, i'm sure they would have asked them to stand for the other acts considering money could be made on a phone-in.

Liam's voice is far better in the studio. He has always sounded a bit out of tune and rough live, perhaps its having all that racket to contend with in the background.....

Whining, hands behind back AND trying to be John Lennon.

It IS true that Liam tries to be a cross between Lennon, John Lydon and Ian Brown but why can't people just accept that he is one of the all-time classic frontmen? People are always going to think of Liam when they think of the Britpop '90s, Oasis just ARE that era (yeah technically there were better bands at that time but Oasis are the ones people will always remember due to the attitude, the notoriety, the sheer anthemic quality of songs like Cigarettes and Alcohol, Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova etc.). And it's great that they're now a much better band and the most professional they've ever been. They've got at least one more blinder of an album left in them.

He is a foul-mouthed, braindead thug who can't hold a note live, not anywhere near the standard of so many other frontmen.

Seems pointless dreaming that Oasis will somehow pull a half decent album out any time soon. Their best was 1994-1996. I don't expect Paul McCartney to write music like he did back in the 60s and 70s (esp the 60s).

Oasis will carry on producing short-attention-holding albums like they have done since Be Here Now.

Liam was awful at The Brits.

Noel seems to be quite capable of performing his music by himself and could continue successfully without him now.

Liam Gallagher was unrecognisable as his former self.

His voice was terrible, granted he has never been a 'singer' in the technical sense.

I used to be a big Oasis fan - they were awesome at Knebworth, but I think personally Oasis went off the boil once they made it big. They are more polished and professional now and I feel a big part of Oasis's appeal was their fresh, raw sound which had passion, anger, attitude and the arrogance of youth.

Oasis used to have a buzz about which personally I feel had abated. This may be due to change of line up, age/growing up/approaching middle age/40, lack of motivation, I don't know but I do know that I found the Brits performance disappointing but only because of Liam's performance.

Maybe now all they've settled down and got families and have made their money their motivation has gone. But one thing for certain, it is hard to take Liam serious strutting around the stage like he's hard when everyone has seen the photos of him with his M&S shopping bags! very Rock'n'Roll!!!

I hope Liam's performance was an off day and an one off and that he and Oasis return to form soon. That said I thought the rest of the band were great and Noel never fails to give a fantastic performance.

Before anyone bashes me, I like Oasis and was a teenager during the Britpop scene, which was fantastic. Oasis will still have a place in my heart and a place amongst the greats of British music which is why they deservedly got their Brit award.

It's despite that, yes.

He has stage presence in spades.

You cannot take your eyes off him at a gig. He doesn't jump around like a maniac, he doesn't need to do anything.

It's pointless arguing about Oasis though, some people hate them because of their antics in the past, for being proper rockstars, instead of these clean cut nancy boys like Chris Martin and Ricky Wilson.

I thought they were bloody excellent on the Brits.

Oh yes, A guy in a tracksuit, that doesn't move and he's proud he never read a book, it's exactly my idea of a rock God.

Jim Morrison must be rolling on his grave with envy....

I think most people dislike Oasis, because they haven't put out a good record in over 10 years.

There is nothing particularly wrong with being "clean cut"....speaking of which, Liam Gallagher looks like that Gilly fool from Hollyoaks with his stupidly long hairstyle....get a haircut Liam, and some voice coaching!
