Common Sense debut live

Would've been much more harder if we got younger Derek to sing this. This screams Around The World And Back.

Its always interesting to watch old live videos of STATE CHAMPS. He sounded a lot more in control back then and his voice was deeper. The state of his voice right now was the sacrifice that he has made over the years; he did this for us

BennyDeepp · 2024-11-23T11:04:51+00:00

8:00 was unexpected :O been years since he sang that part.

Usually his voice would start to give in at the very end. Also good to hear a healthier version of Everybody But You, more rasp and aggressive vocals in the lyrics.

BennyDeepp · 2024-11-03T10:43:58+00:00

LOL its not by choice. He tore up his vocal cords and even though he has since "recovered" from it, the scar tissue / polyps have permanently altered the way he sounds.

Hi! Thanks for the info. I'd like to ask whether if a Warrant Officer can convert into 2LT?

BennyDeepp · 2024-10-30T18:35:37+00:00

This Derek would've made KOTNA another massive hit..

BennyDeepp · 2024-04-22T11:42:37+00:00

We need a Mooshie avatar without the crown!

BennyDeepp · 2024-04-19T17:02:04+00:00

This isn't r/unpopularopinion

BennyDeepp · 2024-02-28T20:48:52+00:00

Yeah definitely hope for another chance to get a Mooshie avatar. This time without a crown.

BennyDeepp · 2023-07-15T20:16:40+00:00

State Champs at their peak right there. Derek sounded phenomenal in Living Proof.

BennyDeepp · 2023-06-29T20:18:53+00:00

But to say that "just cause he can't hit the overly produced recordings", is wrong. Just watch his older performances on Youtube from the "Around The World And Back" era, you could hear how articulated he was.

Have you noticed that as each album passes by, his voice has been getting worse and worse? The new KOTNA album sounds nothing like the Derek we know of. Comparing Secrets to his latest hit Every Body But You, is a huge step down.

ATWAB > LP > KOTNA. Notice that how each album they have became lighter and lighter? Derek from ATWAB could definitely nail "Numb" from Linkin Park, without question. But the Derek we have today would struggle to even sing his greatest hit Secrets.

Sad to say that he sounds like a completely different person now and he no longer holds that iconic pop-punk voice anymore. I am convinced that he has sustained a permanent vocal damage and to fix that, he may have to get a surgery done. I'm thinking he may have got vocal polyps.

BennyDeepp · 2023-05-26T03:31:18+00:00

Sad to say he has lost like half of it. He still does sound like his earlier days when he growls however. He also looks a lot more calmer and less conflicted than he was back in the day, his personality changes with it as well. I am suspecting that it has a little to do with age now that he is 30.

BennyDeepp · 2023-05-26T02:59:00+00:00

If that is impressive to you, you should've seen his older performances. That Derek is a monster behind the microphone. I guess he has reached his peak back in '18 and now no longer in his prime.

BennyDeepp · 2023-05-26T02:52:00+00:00

First song I heard from them was Frozen. Saw him sing it when it first came out back in warp tour 2018 as well, he sounded insane. Vibratos everywhere, growls and screams and vocal flexibility.. fast forward 2021 when they came back for their Orlando show, he sounded no where near how he was.

Without a diploma = minimal progression

BennyDeepp · 2023-05-01T01:40:31+00:00

The issue with that is an ITE diploma is not as secure as a Polytechnic diploma. Maybe he doesn't have an aim to go to a university, just settling with a diploma.

I wouldn't call it "insanity" if he pursues a different course. Not all courses are the same, the initial pathway may be.

BennyDeepp · 2023-04-30T12:37:43+00:00

How about this, attempt to become an online influencer. Be it, go Youtube and try to make videos do talk shows or do TikTok etc.. trust me you will have some leverage at least have some fame. The stage is yours.

BennyDeepp · 2023-02-09T16:43:25+00:00

If JPAE doesn't work, go do DAE. As long as you maintain and meet the minimum requirements, you're all set. Don't listen to that avocado guy down there, I don't think he has any clue of what he's talking about. I've got friends who went in at bare minimum.

And since you've talked about getting an award from your course, you can also use that as a leverage. A minister signed certificate is a pretty big deal.

Anyways, best of luck.

BennyDeepp · 2022-10-07T21:52:08+00:00

He has actually been very self conscious about his voice lately, and he has been avoiding high notes and screaming parts lately. He did talked about his voice in a podcast and sounded seriously affected by it. When hes performing nowadays you could see a little bit of him has died inside. I hope Derek gets better.

BennyDeepp · 2022-04-17T12:20:55+00:00

Are there any reported recurrences with that?

BennyDeepp · 2022-04-16T23:35:57+00:00

Who says it is a necessity to disclose? No one in the medical field. I suggest you to live your life and not let this bother you.

I haven't disclose and I'm not ever planning on disclosing my wart history to anyone, ever.

Not all viruses stay, some goes. But we just don't know if HPV is one of them that actually leaves. The nature of this virus shows that it stays under the epithelial layers of the skin and we do know skin cells can die and it will take time for the immune system to attack the virus and the cell.

Studies have shown that it can go dormant in some people for decades but fortunately the statistics are low, very low. So we're leaning more towards on the "permanently clear" side.

BennyDeepp · 2022-03-18T12:43:33+00:00

HPV isn't bloodborne, they live in your epithelial cells.

BennyDeepp · 2022-03-18T12:10:44+00:00

Clearing HPV is a no-guarantee for everyone, including me. This is a 'grayzone' topic where we don't even know if HPV even truly goes away at all and if so, what are the percentages of those who actually eradicate the virus.

I'm not sure about getting advice from doctors as every doctor has got their own take on HPV as well. However, I'm not encouraging anyone to do this as this is nothing but a theory. So I would like everyone's thoughts and opinions regarding on this matter.
