No. Everything is as they deserve it. They spend their whole lives cornyly opening their mouths to other people's voices. That's why, in those days, Roxette assembled stadiums, and "Army" was staggering around the clubs. Why? Because Roxette are honest players by all measures, and "Army" is a fake, a prop, a tavern. Bard did not want to pour money into a large-scale concert show, that's the result. He himself chose a low-grade combination of the stage performances of his pop group. Or there could have been a good, real show, tours, stadiums. Huge masses of people will not look at empty antics for a long time. Army, in its entire existence, gave only three big concerts, and it was all the same (It was in Russia and Belarus). Their solo concerts never had the decorations that were in their music videos, there was no good light. And the sound on all their performances is like in this video. The constant sound of studio recordings, antics and their open mouths to these sound recordings. Other people work for them all their lives in the studio, "like slaves for the misters", and Army's members only show themselves to the sound of other people's voices. As a child, I thought they were great talents, but in fact they turned out to be absolutely mediocre musically.

[@bogadan]

​@@luxeford547 It's all wonderful. Only "Army" has not given a single live concert in its entire career. They never sang live due to the fact that in their songs a large proportion of the vocals were performed by completely different people, whom the producers of "Army" hired to ensure the rotation of this project on radio and TV. Their solo concerts could be alive if this choir of guest singers stood on stage with them, to whose voices they constantly open their mouths. However, Army's members themselves were unable to control their voices. In addition, the producers of the project did not want to invest a lot of money in a real concert show. They came up with a cheap "camp" concept, gave Army's members these toys, and began performing to a voice phonogram. This is counting on fools.

[@bogadan]

​@@MiloMtc for example, me. I'm completely disappointed in this project. Their music did not come from the heart and soul. They only needed this music for personal PR.

[@Spuzzmacher]

Yeah it's annoying. TV show appearances like this have almost always been lip-synched back to the 60s (sometimes even overdubbing afterwards bands that outright refused to just mime, like Pink Floyd) but there's still this insistence on keeping the illusion and making it look live, even though none of the instruments are plugged in and everyone with ears can hear it's identical sound as the album... ugh... TV producers... I do like that in some of these La Camilla starts singing over the top of the choir on the CD track, belts it out over the PA with her own vocalizations. That's at least a nice effort, & something for the people in the audience who are also all supposed to pretend they really into the live performance.

[@bogadan]

It was like this. After the debut album Army of lovers failed in sales, this "genius" Bard pulled up another "Army" of his most talented acquaintances to record the songs of the second album Army of Lovers, so that these talented people, in the studio, made him a "sound candy", since their own weak voices were only enough for the failure of their first album. His main companion, professional musician Anders Wollbeck, just introduced professional singers into this project, whom they never showed, either in their music videos or at their performances. They wanted to show only loved themselves everywhere. But it all looked very good in the music videoclips, thanks to the money invested. As a result, the producers contributed money to their sound recordings and music videos. However, there was some "reverse effect", and, unfortunately, not in their favor. It turned out that in music videos they deceived huge masses of people by opening their mouths to other people's voices (in music videos they indicated only themselves). They imitated that they were the ones singing. And people had the deceptive impression that they were "very talented singers." That is, with these music videos and the voices of professional singers specially hired by the producer, they attracted the main attention of a multi-million TV audience. Their popularity has increased greatly, and sales of their albums have gone up. But they did not want to invest in a real and high-quality large-scale show of their solo concerts, due to their inability to control their own voices (the conclusion is based on the live performances of Bard aka "Barbie" before "Army of lovers"). It was for this reason that they went on the stage, already as clowns, to a constant voice soundtrack. At the same time, the effect of "stars from music videos" abruptly began to disappear, since none of these music videos had ever been on the stage. Only the throne stood there. And the eternal voice soundtrack was turned on, since they could not sing it all live, due to the fact that in their songs there are too many voices of people who are not related to their composition, whom they stubbornly did not want to show so that their huge "soap bubble" would not burst prematurely. Bard himself chose such a cheap concept for his performances, and thus he himself signed that they were, in fact, not talented singers, but real incompetents. After such "concerts", interest in them began to decline. That's the whole price of this "Army".

Right. Only Alexander Bard was able to sing something on his own. But in the first two albums, Bard sang in only four songs. Their voices are not in this choir. This is sung by professional singers specially hired by the producer to create hits and promote this project. The soloists' own voices were too weak for this purpose.

[@bogadan]

​@@sophiepooks2174no. It's not just on this program. They have never performed live, as they are vocally unprofessional people. They are comedy artists who are not capable of playing their own songs live, since half of their songs or the whole song can be sung by people who are not part of the group. They lied in the album annotations that it was "backing vocals" in order to intentionally hide the fact that their own voices were missing from this choir.

[@bogadan]

While La Camilla was in the group, paired with Jean-Pierre, they both did shows in the music videos and on the stage. Bard is a talented guy, but as an actor he loses slightly against the background of La Camilla and Jean-Pierre. Anyone could have been in his place, in the music videos and on the stage. It's a shame that Bard removed La Camilla from the band. He did this because of his zealous attitude towards the attention of the public to La Camilla. All these stories about the inappropriate behavior of La Camilla in public due to the use of alcohol and other laughing means are not credible. The lack of pragmatism of the producer of the group, who allowed La Camilla to leave, led to a complete fiasco of the group on the stage. La Camilla is a gorgeous actress, and paired with Jean-Pierre, this whole phonogram farce looked like a musical theater in the music videos and on the stage, but they never performed their songs live on the stage. So. Here, on TV, this phonogram farce is still permissible, but at their solo concerts they always had to say all their spoken parts live, and the choir of guest singers, to whose voices they constantly opened their mouths, had to stand with them on the stage and sing their parts live. As a result, their performances are a complete prop. The blame for this, first of all, is the production team, which constantly saved on a good concert show, and the soloists of the group, who were unable not only to sing on the stage, but even to read their endless recitatives live.

[@u96e8]

I immediately told you - the real reasons for your ignorant "criticism" are your personal envy of the popularity of AoL and resentment at Alexander for firing Camilla. Everything else is a crooked rationalization. Alexander is absolutely not an envious person, these are his own words. He considers envy to be the worst human quality. He was definitely frustrated by Camilla's behavior, it wasn't envy. If someone's star fever is unpleasant to a person, it doesn't mean that he's jealous of their fame. He made it clear he's agoraphobic, he doesn't like being a central character on stage, he doesn't like being a frontman. Tho he's definitely ambitious in a good sense, as far as I see, but this has nothing to do with show-off. You said the reasons of Camilla's firing aren't your business, but "her and Alexander's personal business". Your word is worth nothing, you quietly edit and delete comments you're ashamed of. I'm pointing it out again.

[@u96e8]

You can't objectively judge someone's acting skills because you're not an expert, while Alexander has a drama education. You even don't know the definition of "synthetic arts". These your words are a rationalization of the impression "I like the charisma of that beautiful woman". Objectively, you don't feel the charisma of the other band members, besides JP and La Cam. Moreover, you've got confused in "your professional" basic musical terms, you couldn't clearly say how "voice type" (refers to "vocal range", tho it's connected to timbre) differs from "timbre". While vocal techniques aren't timbres. You can't blame and "shame" artists, building on your subjectivity.

[@bogadan]

@@u96e8 Your harassment of me all over the Internet is already really annoying. "Envy." The main argument of a fan of anyone. And what is there to be envious of? Probably the way they open their mouths for nothing all their lives? The audience does not care about the personal problems of your beloved Alexander at all. I have no particular desire to justify myself to such a person here. But I will answer. If I wrote that I didn't care about the relationship between Bard and La Camilla, it was only in the context of their personal relationship. I am only concerned about the fact of La Camilla's dismissal and only in terms of the impact of this event on the entire project. Camilla was the first participant of this project. Because of Camilla, this project was generally noticed. It is for this reason that producer Ola Hakansson put her in the center and made her the main figure. Because Bard did not succeed as the main figure of the "Barbie project". He was the frontman there. And suddenly he didn't want to continue being a frontman. In Army's first single "When the Night is Cold", Bard is also the frontman. It's funny for me to read all this already. About deleted comments. Deleting or editing any comments is my personal job and my right. It shouldn't concern you in any way at all. Who and what should I be ashamed of? What kind of nonsense is this? In the adult film industry, like some soloists of Army, I did not work and I do not open my mouth to someone else's vocals. They were never ashamed of anything. You obviously like that about them.

[@bogadan]

@@u96e8 Does Bard have a drama education? In what year did you get this education? After his participation in Army? This is not considered an argument in the context of Army Of Lovers project. "Synthetic arts" was invented by such artists who cover their utter singing unprofessionalism with this so-called "arts". I have not discussed the difference between vocal techniques and singing timbre with you. I only explained to you what the main vocals are and what the backing vocals are. Why are you lying now?

[@u96e8]

@@bogadan Hah, you've said you blocked me, your word is worth nothing. I'm pointing this out to you, again and again. You reply to my comments if only they're visible to other fans, you care too much what a mob thinks of you. That's why you quietly delete comments you're ashamed of. Who's fame-obsessed? You're an envious person, but not Alexander Bard.

Playback of course. But were they the actual singers otherwise?

[@tantanv33r]

Yes, this is actually their song. Their band is named Army of Lovers, and Crucified is probably one of their most popular songs as of current times.

[@bogadan]

Partly. Their soloist speaks spoken passages here. When this choir sounds in the choruses, it is the voices of five people who do not belong to the composition of this group. In the choruses Army's soloists open their mouths to the other people's voices who were specially hired to enhance the popularity of this project, since the band members' own voices were not enough to promote this project. Their voices were too weak.

[@bbenjoe]

@@bogadan Ah-ha!

[@bogadan]

@@bbenjoe but their loyal fans will always write what "wonderful artists" they are. These "wonderful artists" had to sing in this choir, even with their weak voices. Then there would be no complaints against them. And they were obliged to give live solo concerts. And the way it was with them in those days, it was a deception of huge masses of people. And the fact that they labeled this choir as "backing vocals" in the credits of their albums and singles is a lie of those involved in this project. These guest singers performed the lead vocal part. But they deliberately listed these guest singers as backing vocalists in order to create the appearance that supposedly "Army's soloists are also singing in this choir." But even these credits of their albums have not been read and are not being read. But the masses of people watched their music videos and such TV performances. And after that, people went to their concerts in clubs. But it was the same at Army's solo concerts. They did not give a single live concert precisely because of the lack of their voices in this choir and the unwillingness of producers and soloists to reveal this "secret" to the whole public (in those countries where they were popular). It was because of their performances to the other people's voices and because of the lack of a real concert show that they failed in their native Sweden after 1992.

​@@tantanv33r aren't you, fans, tired of justifying them every time? They open their mouths all their lives, including to other people's voices. There is only the spoken speech of Army's soloist here. He performs a recitative. And they always use studio recordings exclusively for their performances. This is because their voices are not in this choir. There are other people singing in the choir, whom they did not show either in the 90s of XX or in the 00s of XXI. These are professional singers who were specially hired by Army's producers to promote and enhance the popularity of this project, since Army's soloists own voices turned out to be too weak for these purposes.
