MAX
first came upon Max Scheider upon coming upon Kurt Hugo Schneider
like too many others
thought "be they brothers?"
nope
Schneider actually is a fairly common name
Max has been performing since he was a little kid
Max was in the regrettable Nickelodeon show -
and aren't ALL Nickoldeon shows regrettable? -
"How To Rock"
Max can act
Max also can move as he went to a performing arts school in New York
( not certain if it is the same one as in the film Fame. there are numerous schools like that in NY)
Max also can sing
what particularly liked about Max Schneider was that Max has the full appreciation of understanding that a great part of sining (and dance) IS acting
there is just something about when Max Schneider sings you believe him
- at least does -
a great case in point is a song of Bruno Mars' - When I was Your Man
Boyce Avenue covered this (with Fifth Harmony)
and liked it ALOT
mostly due to the arrangement
but Max REALLY sells it - and when saw Kurt Hugo Schneider
sitting in a tree and playing the harp........
(what instrument CAN'T he play? no., seriously)
there is a little glitch in the performance
- it almost looks for a moment like Max spits up on himself -
and if had directed woulda screamed CUT! Do it over!
but Max seriously emotes
another fave of 's is this rendition of Say Something
Postmodern Jukebox does this as well
and it is the horn that steals the show
but this really is superior
the simple arrangement
the chairs back to back
and Max appears almost to completely loose it in this
the line "Say something - I'm giving up on you" is performed in such a way that you genuinely FEEL the frustration you would have in such a situtation
will Max Schneider still do covers now?
hopes so
Max goes by MAX now and is determined to be a full fledged pop artist
quickly MAX is displaying writing chops that, frankly, impresses more than Boyce Avenue
(Boyce Avenue excels in how the do a cover. the originals? big hit and mix bag there)
this is VERY recent MAX - only a couple months old
it is a fun video as well
with work like this MAX might break out of Youtube and become a known name
there are live performances of Love Me Less
and those performances are as good as the video
will post the original official video AND a live performance
because the acid test is always whether you can do it live
and MAX passes
