That was terrible. So bad that it might have been scripted - like everything else on that show, because how could they mess it up - they only had to learn pretty much two verses, and they couldn't even handle one. One of the reasons American Idol sucks so hard is that they advocate the use of oversinging by their contestants - a guy can't come in and sing a song straight anymore, there always have to be vocal runs where they aren't needed.

Just points out, once again, how amazing the The Beach Boys are... When you've been gifted such an amazing song as this: it takes serious effort to mess it up, and they certainly did... The Beach Boys just SANG! and with no real vocal technique other than breathing... Why these idiots can't learn a thing or two from the best example ever is beyond me....

Indeed! Maybe he heard one too many recordings of Al singing it and couldn't remember the correct way?
And as long as we're ripping on Al, I love how in the 90s he would just repeat the one verse to "Come Go With Me" throughout the whole song.

If the Beatles had suffered this kind of misrepresentation, they would have never got past singing 'Please Please Me' and 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and leaping around in Beatle suits."

'Wouldn't it Be Nice'. And no, it wasn't nice at all.
I feel you guys on the runs...that is something that drives me apeshit. Just because you CAN do certain vocal tricks doesn't mean you SHOULD. I don't have the greatest voice in the world, but I'm a believer in tone and feel versus power.
Hey, I'll let you guys know if I hear any Beach Boys songs at my Voice audition tomorrow
My speaking voice is shot to hell right now, but as of yet my singing voice isn't affected.

another thing about all those stupid vocal runs, and yet another reason The Beach Boys rule: is all that sort of technique seems to do is remove any personality (what little there might even be) from the singer's voice....

A thing i've learned from experience:
Harmony isn't about tricks, or even messing with production, you can only get it right one way: singing it in tone and "feeling" the pitch "melt together" in your chest.
we've all felt it, that feeling your voice gets when it's perfectly harmonized, you can hear it too it's like a block.
Too bad they can't tell that they totally aren't doing that.

The guy with the speech impediment proves that singing doesn't always get rid of it, ala Mel Tillis, although his impediment seemed to be contagious to the other guys once they got up there. The harmonies weren't bad. The individual leads were horrible.

The singing was indeed pretty atrocious - modern singers seem to care more about showing off than singing with feeling (maybe they need a little Murry in their lives?) and really connecting with the song. It's frustrating to watch clearly talented singers do stuff like this. And for the love of god, why can nobody on this show seem to remember a few lyrics? I get that you're trying to learn an unfamiliar (and difficult) melody, arrangement, whatever, but is it really that hard to remember 2 freaking lines?

Well, like you said, all their energy is going into showing off their (barely mastered) technique. What the song is about and the proper feeling to muster are non-considerations, so why bother learning the words?

In all seriousness, I would love to see Brian as a guest mentor on one of those types of shows.

That's a sad reminder just how predictable mainstream pop music has become that these guys chose to sing this song in this particular way. God forbid they sing this song completely straight with nothing but conviction and power...but no all they wanted to do was squeeze in (very clumsily, I might add) these tiny vocal runs wherever they could fit them. Lyrics? Eh, who cares! I just want to see where in this song I can show off. Too bad they didn't realize that the song is a tough one as it is---there was no need to "sweeten" it up with vocal gymnastics. Subtlety is completely lost in music today.

I can't stop watching this thing.... These guys are all blaming the speech impediment guy (BTW, the only one of them to attempt singing with any emotion) for not blending properly on the harmonies while each one of them miffed the words horrendously yet no one even mentions that!
