Is Saiyan Blood going to "work"?

If you folks continue to be unable to actually discuss the topic at hand, I will simply start removing posts and warning accounts.

Because I don't remember addressing my feelings on the subject...

...in the original version, I found it unintentionally hilarious. I doubt Sabat will pronounce Saiyan correctly, but it'll likely be just as unintentionally hilarious.

"Saiyan Blood" is cool in that kids' show sort of way (imagine that) and hilarious when adult sensibility is brought into it.

If the song is gonna be dubbed, I'd rather it not be "in-character" by Sabat. If it's done by Sabat, the song should be tweaked to a third person point of view.

Yeah you totally have a point, we're all teenagers (or older) discussing this type of thing. If I was 8 or 9 I would be totally digging Saiyan Blood as the coolest darn thing ever.


(also hurray my ignore list now has a 3rd unbearable person on it.)

Saiyan Blood is my favourite thing to come from Kai, so I doubt any dub version of the song will live up to my unreasonable expectations.

I could see it going either way. Like a previous poster pointed out, Sabat can definitely sing because he's a trained opera singer, but that Vegeta voice sounds like it would be a VERY painful voice to sing in. I think it's a win-win situation, though. If it works, that's great, no explanation needed. If it doesn't work, then it might turn out to be very funny, and Sabat is not beyond making fun of himself at all.

You can thank MsDBZBabe for pointing this out, but here's a School Rumble ending Sabat sung for FUNimation's release. I...suspect his Saiyan Blood might sound like this. :p

Well, not completely. Sabat implied that he was instructed to sing that song a little over-the-top and goofy because it fit the animation.

That's a relief, that was...a very jarring performance to hear and them imagine in DBZ Kai. However it works if it's supposed to be over the top.

Maybe I should have used 'something like' to clear up I didn't mean exactly like. That's him singing a silly romance song. Of course, Saiyan Blood can fit that description too, considering the character. :p

[SaiyamanMS]

Yeah, he'd likely take a different tone in "Saiyan Blood", but that School Rumble song proves that he can sing in something close enough to Vegeta's voice.

It's a shame the song wasn't called Namekian blood or that voice would have been an even closer fit.

Please no. With all due respect to the man, that was just plain horrible.

[Metalwario64]

Supposed to be horrible? Why would they do that?

Not really horrible, but it's supposed to be "bad" and cheesy.

Gotcha. Kinda like "Saiyan Blood". Maybe Mr. Sabat singing it could work.

[TheBlackPaladin]

Actually, I've been trying very hard to find it, but Chris Sabat sang in traditional opera style for an insert song for Shin Chan, in the episode, "The Cucumber-Sucking Monster." As this insert is FUNimation's original song and not a dubbed version of a Japanese song, you won't find the Japanese version (because it does not exist) anywhere.

OKAY, found it on FUNimation's channel. Song starts at 19:50 and then again at 21:45.

I welcome Saiyan Blood. If Sabat can't sing very well in his Vegeta voice that would only add to it. I hope they dub Saiyan Blood and make it the most awesome, cheesy, and just plain stupid song of the year!

Maybe the beginning will go something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HM9tyNkUAg
