but it's still... not Kermit. I mean, the timing was off, the way he held himself looked off, and he could barely compose a sentence. This is coming off as very harsh, and I'm sure it's incredibly difficult to improvise while hidden in a crate and raising your arm above your head and thinking about all the other things a Muppeteer has to think of... but that's why only the most seasoned professionals are given roles as large as Kermit. There's more to him than just his voice.
I know what you mean about seeming rough, but still I really liked it, I wouldn't mind seeing this again. It wasn't just the voice that felt right; the vibe was just on somehow.

I'm not comparing performers or anything, they're all professionals. Just saying it did sort of feel like hearing Jim again.

Yeah I understand, well you know, I remember seeing one of Steve's first performances as Kermit in the early '90s and it was kind of stiff at times. It takes awhile to develop these things.

This Kermit at the VMA's did impress me though. :smile:

Huh, interesting! I didn't see the AGT one so I can't comment. But this is all quite intriguing really! :insatiable:

Ok, now I've seen it and can comment!

I can actually see what both sides are saying. This performance was a bit rougher, needs polishing. I think also because it was singing, not talking.

But I can also totally see where the performer is going with this. It does remind me of early Kermit, like back when Jim sang "Bein Green" in that stilted, quirky way.

So, sorry guys, but I did find some promise in this guy's performance.

Again, I do hope Steve is OK and all. I'm not comparing performers. We couldn't do what they do after all. :smile:

I think part of the difficulty might have been that this was singing. The MTV clip is just talking and it sounded better.
