Default Do you like Ringo singing with a loudspeaker

Personally I really want to hear her singing OSCA without the loudspeaker, plus it blocks most of her face.

Also, please explain the appeal of the loudspeaker to you!

I see it as one of her more creative instruments that I wish she'd use less. It's part of her schtick, more power to her...but I can only take 1 or 2 songs on it.

I think it worked perfectly on Atarashii Bunmei-Kaika. I didn't expect that since the original recording didn't have any distortion effect at all, but it helped the live performance to be more all over the place.

Same story with OSCA. I use(d) to enjoy that song but then I got exhausted of it on lives, and I think the loudspeaker has a lot to do with that.

By the way, what I really wanted/want to hear more from her, is the melodica. She was great at it.

I love it in some songs like OSCA and Service but I would prefer to hear Atrashii Bunmei without it, it's fine for certain parts but using it on the whole song is quite irritating. but I don't think OSCA would work without a megaphone, I see it as an integral part of the song

I've never been to a Ringo show in person, but I'm assuming that the real appeal of the loudspeaker comes from actually hearing it in person. I'd bet that it comes across a lot more personal when you can literally hear her voice coming from it. Less mechanical than a microphone. Also I loved it during Koufukuron, Ringo Expo '08.
