You can't sing sunshiiiine February 19, 2007 NOEL GALLAGHER has issued an ultimatum to brother LIAM — sort your voice out or forget recording another OASIS album. Noel was furious with Liam’s below-par performance at the Brit Awards on Wednesday night. He reckons the rocker’s vocals on hits including Cigarettes & Alcohol failed to match his status as a member of the band that won the Outstanding Contribution gong. And he told Liam that he needs to rediscover the brilliant, roaring notes that made him the best frontman of his generation . . . otherwise Oasis are no more. A source said: “Noel had some harsh words for Liam after the show. “He thought Liam’s voice was too nasal and well off his best. He reckons his singing is becoming more pub karaoke than professional. “Liam wanted to perform Songbird but Noel told him, ‘No chance’. That started a problem beforehand and then they had a huge row over who should keep the award.” The source added: “The band had their own sound team so there was no excuse for Liam not being on the money. The arguments have rumbled on since and they’re barely speaking.” I have to agree with Noel. I thought Oasis were brilliant at the Brits, blasting out an explosion of sound at Earl’s Court. But the crowd’s singing drowned out Liam’s vocals. Having watched it back on TV, he seemed short of breath and strained his voice to the point where he sounded like a caricature of himself. His swagger was still superb and attitude seeped from every pore. But only Noel got his vocals spot-on during the short set. He absolutely nailed Don’t Look Back In Anger. In the past six months Noel has been performing more solo gigs, which must irk his younger brother. An Oasis album is rumoured for the end of 2007 — even though they fulfilled their album deal with Sony with Stop The Clocks — and other labels are queueing up to sign them. There was talk on Wednesday that Liam wasn’t too keen to accept the Brit award. Perhaps that’s why his singing was not up to scratch. Here’s hoping it was a one-off and he proves Noel wrong. The buzz the lads created at the awards proved they are as popular as ever. I’m sure Liam will shiiiine again. The Sun http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2007080098,00.html --
