Timeline.
June 5th, 2007. This video has reached just over 1200 views. This video is phenomenally disliked at 2-8. There are four comments, none of which are particularly clever or interesting. Four years ago johnnymilkshark said "You're a butterfly." So you get why I'm not diving in too deep here. In the description, there's a dedication: "Dedication to Jesus Christ." We've established Daniel Songer's religiousness, but this is the first time he's put something like this in the description.
Presentation.
This whole entry isn't going to be very long. The most I get to do is in this section right here, since the content has already been examined back in October. Before I get into any of the gesticulations, I feel the need to point out that this is a new low. He's trying to do opera, which is a very niche skill and not easy even for the most talented and practiced. So how bad will it be for someone who just woke up one day, without talent, and decided to sing opera? In presentation, Dan's overwrought gestures fit the cliche concept of opera, and he seems to take to it pretty well, given he only understands things via stereotypes.
His style of singing has changed, for what it's worth. He's still not particularly good at hitting any notes, but he sure knows how to hold his voice at the same place. Actually, he really can't do that either. So he's just elongating the hell out of everything he was saying in the poem version of this song. Because that's opera.
His types of gestures are still very limited. He holds his hand out. Just longer. He holds his hat for a second, and then turns it into holding his hand out agaiin. Just longer. He does the invisible microphone, which is about the least classiest thing one can do when attempting something as classy as opera. He reaches up and then holds his hands out in front of him. Again. Just longer. Around 0:35 he does a really quick motion and throws his hand upwards. I'm really uncertain what kind of effect he's going for here. I can't even begin to count how many damned times he opens and closes his right hand as to feign some sort of feeling. Jesus Christ, man, you're not fooling anyone.
I'm glad there's no lengthy introduction in this one. Also, I'm amused that now we can see a house in the background somewhere in rural America. Still, there's something far greater going on here that is almost unnoticable: his camera is not on a tripod. Did you hear that? His camera is being held by someone. Someone is recording this poor man? I'm certain of it. The camera shakes enough in the way that it's being held by someone, rather than just affected by wind, and there are other moments where it's clear the camera is deliberately following Dan. Who did he get to record him? Does he have family or friends who are willing to go along with this torture? I suppose this would be long in the What exactly is going on section, but I'm willing to forego that since I don't have much to analyze this time around. Who could possibly be recording this? I would feel bad for them if I thought they were forced to do this. I imagine this is someone who considers themselves more of an "encouragment" when really they're what we call a "detriment." You know these people. Someone who thinks it's a good idea to lie to someone when all they're doing is embarrassing themselves.
Content.
See the former blog. Dan doesn't know how to create images or establish rhythm. This will be the mantra of this blog.
What exactly is going on?
See the final paragraph. There is likely someone who thinks it's best to lie to this man. Someone so willing to commit to this embarrassing lie they will record him. They are the worst. You. You're more of the problem than Daniel Songer. There are no words for the feelings you incite within me. You shall never know peace. You shall never understand the horrors that you have unleashed. And I regret to consider that you shall never truly feel the regret and sorrow you so deserve to bear.
