Actually Phil Collins is a drummer that can sing :). He does lead vocals for Genesis, but was originally just their drummer. Genesis's original lead singer was Peter Gabriel, and Phil took over when Peter left. While unusual, its not unknown. Dave Grohl the lead singer for Foo Fighters was the drummer in Nirvanna and also did play drums and guitar in Foo Fighters. The Most famous Drummer that was a singer is one of the best female singers of all time - Karen Carpenter.

You have to understand how much affection the U.K. has for Phil Collins. He played in London for Live Aid then took Concord to the US and played there in the same day. The robotic effect you heard is real-tie processing of his vocal by a ‘Vocoder’ type synth processor. He was the drummer for a hugely successful band called Genesis before they broke up.

[@TonyHonnor_SpitfireMKIX]

Phill Collins / Genesis absolute legend here in UK. I was fortunate enough, back in the mid 90's to light his appearance at the Jonathan Ross Friday Night Live Show (I was a studio lighting guy back then in Wandsworth London - Ewart TV Studios). We ran the show every Friday night, it took the day to set up the show for the evening. After the show we always had a buffet and some drinks and I got to meet Phil .... he was the most down to earth amazing guy you could ever want to meet! I got to meet many singing stars back then and when they'd gone, us lighting & sound engineers would sleep over at the studio and de-rig on the Saturday morning ready for a fresh start on Monday. Great times! Music in 80's and early 90's was much more of a 'must have' passion with many more huge live tours.

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

Phil Collins is from the most talented musicians that came on stage. As a percussionist myself , my hat is down.

[@seandobson6221]

I finally got to see Phil live in 2004 on this tour in Oklahoma City. I grew up with Genesis and Phil it was a bucket list item I got to check off. This song has the most recognizable drum breaks in the history of music. I heard it when it came out. Young folks like you have heard this in the movie Hangover. When they wake up the next day Mike Tyson sings it and beats one of the guys up.

You can't have lived on this planet for more than 20 years and not heard Phil Collins. His work is iconic and thanks to his love affair with Disney, it's difficult to grow up without hearing at least one of his songs. My favorite is "You'll be in my heart" from the Disney film "Tarzan" which won the Academy Award for best song in 1999. Thanks for the reaction, loved it when you recognized something in the lyrics/sound.

[@Old_Man001]

The "eerie" sound you were hearing was a vocoder (used by keyboardist Brad Cole). It is a device that is used to synthesize the human voice. Anyway, Phil was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004 and it was truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance Into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is 70 now. His son is on the Domino tour with Genesis currently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

I remember seeing a concert with Phil and Chester both drumming for this song. One of the greatest of all times.

[@hackapump]

This song was one of the greatest hits of the very early 80s. It is most famous for popularizing the "drum sound of doom", as heard here when Phil sits down and plays the iconic beat himself.

The robot voice is called a Vocoder. Its a synthesizer connected to a microphone. Operated, in this performance, by someone else on stage. They sing the harmonies along with his voice, and the synthesizer turns it into robots. Very cool set up.

Only Phil Collins could pull this song off in concert. His slow move to the drums along with the instruments playing harmony to this his vocals only adds so much more to this presentation. It would have been a major treat to be there at this concert.

One of the many things I find amazing about this performance. Is Phil appears to be just walking around. Yet, he arrives at the drum kit just in time for his solo.

Phil, as a superb drummer, has always had perfect timing. If you watch his Genesis concerts, he very subtly waits til the last second to hit the mike (I think to tease us, the audience).

Air drummers all over the internet have just been going crazy! :-D The sense of anticipation, waiting for that moment, when Phil starts drumming is insane. Amazing drumming by Phil, but let's not forget he is backed up by another amazing drummer, Chester Thompson, a legend amongst his peers. When Phil was looking for another drummer, he reached out to Chester, who promptly accepted. Such was Chester's skill and reputation, Collins took on Chester immediately, without even an audition.

[@herrzimm]

[@nigellusby8256]

Not quite true - When Peter Gabriel quit Genesis as lead singer it took a while for the band to work out who the best replacement was. Suddenly it dawned on them that Phil had been doing backing & occasional lead vocals.... & he became the lead singer..... but that gave a problem with live performances.... they tried a few different session drummers including Bill Bruford! After a couple more albums, Steve Hackett also quit, so they also needed a new guitarist! Famously, Darryl & Chester bumped into each other in the airport departure lounge & realised they were both flying to join Genesis.... When Phil started his solo work, they were the first people he asked to join him.... neither needed an audition....!

[@OriginalLictre]

When his voice sounded robotic, I'm almost positive that it was being layered over that of the keyboardist, who clearly has a microphone above the keyboards he was using in this piece. That voice was run through what's called a vocoder, which changes the harmonics of the voice that's put in, by working it through synthesizer circuits. If you listen carefully, it is not synchronized with Phil's voice, and several time starts before Phil does.

[@itsmeagain1745]

Sounds as though he is running his voice through a delay as well.

[@ianbrooke6342]

You're quite right, there's a keyboard player who has a vocoder, if you look at 10:49 you can see him just below Phil in a white t-shirt.

[@gazza8127]

That robotic vocal effect was most likely some sort of vocoder instrument, hard to tell whether they somehow fused it with Phil's vocals or whether the keyboardist or backing vocalist were providing the source vocals. In any case the effect was spine tingly brilliant. This live version was a theatrical masterpiece.

[@andrew348]

It's just an audio processor. The lead vocals are output with delay, reverb, etc. It's real time processing not prerecorded or coming from a different source.

@@andrew348 Ah that's how they get that effect, fascinating, tks for that Andrew.

[@lkw7482]

Well, they certainly used a vocoder, with the keyboardist, Brad Cole, historically. There's actually a video up from a concert in Berlin on Phil Collins' 1990 tour with a camera following Cole for the first four & a half minutes of the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6jCeY2OlseUeLM (Other, more conventional concert videos from '90 also do a good job of catching Cole using the vocoder.) As for this performance, I think there's a good chance that you're right and it's still vocoder. You can catch a glimpse of what appears to be him using it at 10:47, and it seems to be why he's using his mic at 11:24. And at about the 8:58 mark, the vocoder seems to say "tonight" before the lead vocal does; I think it gets just ahead of Phil at 9:25-27, as well.

[@garywaterman814]

Its the keyboardest making that sound. You can see hints of it in this video and better views in others. The keyboardist is wearing a head set mic.

It's amazing how people don't do their research beforehand and realize that he replaced Peter Gabriel as the singer of Genesis and the drummer of Genesis before his own solo career and then Genesis released a later album afterwards with Phil Collins singing with some of the really best songs being on that album Believe it or not ( I can't dance). I've also heard two reactions out of approximately 15 I've watched where those two already knew the song, really wanted to do a reaction of it, and kept saying oh this is definitely a lip sync, but if you know Phil Collins, he's the real deal and always has been. This song is about his divorce originally and has remained obviously towards that. "Cause the pain never shows, but the pain always grows..." "I saw it with my own two eyes.

I would recommend that you do a little research on the artist and song prior to the reaction so that you get an idea of what is being sung about and the artist background.

The stick being used on the cymbal is a mallet. Imagine a very large q-tip, the soft fluffy part is what’s hitting the cymbal and giving that brassy buildup sound.

The young Paulina in the great young Mexican sister band The Warning, she is an amazing percussionist and she sings lead vocals as well while playing

[@johnscharnhorst3432]

That was what it was like when we went we had 3rd row seats in front it was Amazing 20 Thousand people just going crazy when we saw Phil it was about the same year the album came out in his Prime it was Amazing thanks for bringing back some good memories.😀🤘✌

[@waynejones5635]

Yes his voice is definitely being synthetically enhanced. You hear his actual voice layered on top of a vocoder synthesizer alteration of his voice. Really well done. "Crazy Bananas. " 😂

[@PaGaNism]

Actually, the keyboard player is singing backing vocals through a vocoder

[@bestopinion9257]

If you born in 1995 it is impossible not to hear this by now.

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

yes he does, he also plays all the instruments on all his recorded songs, he writes and produces all his and for others music, as well he acts and directs movies/TV shows (back in the day), he is without a doubt one of the most versatile/talented performers out there, his Daughter (Lily Collins) is as well multi talented

[@MichaelScheele]

Bisscute, Phil Collins can also play the piano while singing. "Against All Odds" is a good example.

[@GZP1023]

he does not play all instruments on all of his recordings

You want a lead vcalist drummer? Look up The Carpenters. Richard (the writer and guitarist), and Karen (the drumme and vocalist) - yes, a female drummer/lead vocalist! from the 1970's. Her voice was like pure gold running through the smoothest mould you could ever dream of. She was tragically taken away so young (in her 30's i believe). OK, so songs to suggest......"Goodbye to Love", "Rainy days and Mondays", "Calling occupants of interplanetary craft" , "There's a kind of hush". You probably have heard one or two of these. But there is something so unique and special about her voice, you'll never forget it. She was one of the first people i remember to have had Anorexia Nervosa, and it was all over the news when she died. Such a sad life, but she left us the gift of her voice via their recordings. Oh, by the way - the "discs" you always refer to when looking at a drum kit are called cymbals (pronoonced similarly to symbol).

Phil Collins is a GOAT. He is one of the best selling artists of all time...including his solo career (of which this song is a part) and when he was with the band Genesis. From his Wiki article... "Collins's discography includes eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated 150 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists.[11] He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band.[12][13] He has won eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards, one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award.[14] He was awarded six Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the International Achievement Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. He has also been recognised by music publications with induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013.[15][16]" This specific song he wrote during a rather tumultuous time in his life... he was in the middle of a rather bitter divorce with his then wife..this song was about that!

[@andrewrossi5434]

Phil Collins is an absolute legend. This is one of those songs has stood the test of time is is recognized after one chord. Such a rare thing

[@joshuas193]

Phil Collins is awesome. This was a huge song when I was a kid. Keep the reactions coming. You're doing great!

[@ognarw]

I saw him live and it was just great nonstop great music

[@philipkudrna5643]

If you liked this performance, you must react to Pink Floyd live. Do „comfortably numb“ from their Pulse concert. (Or „High hopes“ from the same concert.) You will be stunned! (Not only by the crowd. The whole concert was a performance of a generation, maybe the best of a whole century…)

[@EdZirul]

He was the band’s drummer first and they lost the singer so he filled in but was so good he stayed the singer and drummer…. Sometimes..

[@BadCowboy67]

This song gained more fame from being used in commercials than it did radio play. As much as I like this song Against All Odds is my favorite song done by Phil, you should check it out.

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

Miami Vice also helped in making this Song very popular. 🙂 And "Against all Odds" is also great ... I also love "I wish it would rain down."

[@larryclark4297]

This song has been in many, many movies he's been playing drums since he was 5 years Young 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@one42chrisp]

Phil Collins is a fantastic musician, you should check out some old Genesis, from when Peter Gabriel was the singer and Phil played drums and did backup vocals, some really amazing songs. By the way, have you not reacted to anything from “The Warning”? Paulina (Pau), the drummer often takes lead vocals and is fantastic, as in this song, “Narcisista”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWiscnieg5mFg68

I saw the first ever Top Of The Bill performance by Genesis with 3,000 others in Croydon,South East London exactly 50 years ago in 1972:)

[@roihesse9174]

Damn, this song is from 1981, i was 21 years old.... It is a real masterpiece.
