“How Many Drinks Remix (feat. Kendrick Lamar)?”
excellently-placed q mark
unfortunately the answer is no
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
lol at "pool full of liquor then we dive... innit", is kendrick having pie & mash
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
Could have been worse. Lamar's verse is pretty unobtrusive, and he adds a nice little hook in the middle there. Better than the Wiz/Big Sean/B.o.B alternatives

The "Swimming Pools" callback feels cheap and self-celebratory though
would have seemed silly not to really
not three times however

Ha. I like the Kendrick remix.

As is the case with the retconned "BDKMV" remix, I think it would have been a lot funnier if they'd just dropped in the Jay-Z "Monster" verse.

yeah this is not good

I liked the arrangement and delivery of "Adorn" on Saturday Night Live, but what was that 2nd number--r'n'b swithcing rapidly to rock and back with schlocky hair-metal guitar
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 14 April 2013 05:02 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, "How Many Drinks"
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 14 April 2013 06:09 (eleven years ago) link
the obligatory great performance of "Adorn"

That rock version clatters a bit in the last third, but, man, is his voice actually getting stronger each time out?

I kinda hated what the guitarist was doing during the first couple verses but everything else was fantastic

Stuck "Miguel snl" into twitter and saw many tweets from women hailing Miguel, many tweets from middle-aged white guys saying either who is Miguel or bashing his performance, and a fair amount of folks just saying "hey this guy is kinda like Prince."
― curmudgeon, Sunday, 14 April 2013 15:05 (eleven years ago) link
middle aged white guys surprisingly off tm, theyre usually so reliable :/

WTF @ "how many drinks" performance
― brony james (k3vin k.), Monday, 15 April 2013 02:23 (eleven years ago) link
i sort of love it, like "how many drinks" is a nice song but no one in 10 years was ever gonna be like oh man, i should track down his performance of "how many drinks" on SNL
― brony james (k3vin k.), Monday, 15 April 2013 02:24 (eleven years ago) link
dig it

^ mawg
But if someone only saw that version of "How Many Drinks" and had never heard "Adorn" I could see them not being convinced of Miguel's talent.

yeah but i mean it is cool when he goes on tv and wins over some of the kelly clarksons of the world -- album is still a ways from going gold, would be great if his fanbase keeps growing
― Rapper Boy (some dude), Monday, 15 April 2013 04:26 (eleven years ago) link
otm too
― Z S up HOOS down (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 15 April 2013 04:28 (eleven years ago) link
i really like that he continues to experiment and stretch his songs into new shapes but i was making a screwface at him for most of that "how many drinks" performance
feels like a disappointing choice of single for several reasons in any case
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 15 April 2013 08:12 (eleven years ago) link
yeah but its got legs... i too would have liked to see an alterno version of 'do you'
― 乒乓, Monday, 15 April 2013 12:30 (eleven years ago) link
^^^ !!! not a big fan of "how many drinks", but i'd gladly take a bullet for "do you"
― I have many lovely lacy nightgowns (contenderizer), Monday, 15 April 2013 12:31 (eleven years ago) link
ha this performance is hilarious. would probably come off better as a cool surprise 50 minutes into a set, or even as a tag at the end of the "Adorn" performance, but hey it's SNL, he got two songs, he wanted to take a risk with the 2nd one, might as well do it there since he wouldn't get to on the Tonight Show or w/e.
― Rapper Boy (some dude), Monday, 15 April 2013 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
what would the radio version of "do you" be like... do u like dogs?

the actual radio version that radio has been playing for the last 6 months goes "do you like love"
― some dude, Monday, 15 April 2013 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
plus hugs
― I have many lovely lacy nightgowns (contenderizer), Monday, 15 April 2013 14:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah but the hugs were already in the original version
― some dude, Monday, 15 April 2013 14:07 (eleven years ago) link
also iirc it ends with the bummer of "i'm gonna do you like ____ tonight"
― some dude, Monday, 15 April 2013 14:08 (eleven years ago) link
shame he never caught onto "sensitive thugs / do you need hugs"
