It's not just the voice, he's singing an old rock song and keeping somewhat true to the original. It isn't just that people don't sing clear, but noticed a lot of songs these days have far to much base to them that drown out the vocals. If you listen to 90s-80s and before in Rock, you'll notice the lyrics are very clear... The singers don't need base and other instrumental to drown out either bad or lazy singing, the instrumental compliments the vocals, lol. This guy has a good voice, so was a bit surprised hearing a more modern band do this song some justice, so many remakes of songs these days are just meh....

Electric blue Oh, I had a dream For a moment I believed it was true Oh, I'd have given anything Just to be there with you Are you hiding Somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze Every time you see through me And it's all over you Electric blue In too deep Standing here waiting As I'm breaking into Electric blue I can see Can see that it may be just a vision for you Electric blue On my knees Help me, baby Tell me what can I do?
