Do you like to listen to the live version?

They say that we can really tell if the singer is a good singer if we can hear him or her singing his or her song live. However, if they record their live performances, there are some unnecessary noise in the background so we prefer the original ones.

I hate the live versions of songs. They suck! I mean they are very noisy and annoying some times

I hate live versions of songs, always have done, it's the crowd jeering, clapping, singing along and generally interrupting my enjoyment of the music that is off-putting. Too much interference. That is why I hate concerts.

I sometimes prefer the live version if I feel the content added (such as singer to fan interaction) makes the song more fun. However, I do agree with you that most of the time the background noise of cheering and such is too loud. Some live versions filter the noise out somewhat to make it more enjoyable, but those who take a video camera to the concert itself and don't filter anything out, it's like why listen.

As others have stated, live versions allow us to properly rate the artist we enjoy listening to. I much prefer original versions as opposed to live.. but if the artist is just as fantastic when performing live, I don't mind so much.

original? you mean recorded version? recorded version/original one is clean, why? because it repeated over and over again, and in the controlled room, and after done so much editing, and in live version, i think that is better because in there you can see the real skills of your singer, guitarist, bassist, pianist, or drummer. i listened to both of the version but live version indicated that musician have real experience above stage and to show their real skill there

I like to hear the lvie songs for a reason and the original ones for other reason. The live song it´s where you can judge how god the singer or bad are\is ! It´s the only way to know how pretty is their voices, until my favourite bands when they act live the singer sings kinda better ? or natural. Only bad thing is the live version doens´t make you hear very well the sound sometimes. And the original you can hear the harmony more deeply? :3 but orignal doens´t have the vibe of the lvie version it´s not so mystical lol
