My answer to some of "definitions" already here:
"Mr. Collins normally sings out of tune, but his vocal harmonizers and pitch correctors fix all that."
No- go listen to one of his live performances, he is RIGHT on pitch every single time.
"Listen closely to any of his songs (even the Genesis ones) and you'll notice how his voice is always doubled and slightly echoed."
Yeah, that's called singing harmony you dunce. You sing a song two times, once in the melody and once in the harmony. Then you overlay the two and you get something that sounds wonderful.
"On the song "In the Air Tonight", about 2 minutes into the track, the filters are tweaked so that there are 3 versions of his voice singing at the same time - the 'normal' filtered version, a comical low pitched version, and his real voice. The low, weak, screechy, high voice in the background is his real singing voice."
Yeah, once again- three times recorded to make a harmony.
"Oh and FYI, the 'drum solo' on "In the Air..." was done on a drum machine, so I really don't know how it is considered a solo when a machine is playing it throughout the whole song."
If you've ever watched a Collins documentary, he explains why he did so- because he wanted to keep a constant beat and anyone good drummer would have tweaked it and detracted attention from the lyrics.
"But once again, he is a great drummer..."
Yes, yes he is.
Phil Collins is not a fag, he's not stupid, he is sincere, humble, and a fantastic singer with a great voice and perfect pitch.
Person 1: Dude. Phil Collins CANT sing but he is a great drummer.
Person 2: Oh really? I'd like to hear you sing in perfect pitch- both the harmony and the melody.
A character from Trailer Park Boys. Phil Collins is named after a British guy nobody cares about. Phil is a local cheeseburger enthusiast and manages a motel. He gets increasingly mad when one stares at his rather large gut. Phil is often seen selling mackerel and trout in liquor store parking lots. He also owns a mobile cheeseburger shop with his boys called the Dirty Burger.

A drink.
2 oz Vanilla Vodka
2 oz Water
Serve neat. Let age for maximum taste.
This is a Phil Collins, a great, great drink, a personal favorite.
Superb songsmith, writer and drummer.
Created and performed songs back when music was good. Much immitated however went from loved by everyone in the 80's and 90's to 'unfashionable to like' in the latter part of the 90s up until today - the reason being that most people on earth are an impressionable bunch of idiots who are controlled by the media and rubbish like the Sun Newspaper. Why does a mans lovelife effect how people enjoy his music? Fickle bunch of twats.
010101_bot - you say that Phil has vocal aids and the drum solo on air tonight was created by a drum machine? So how do you explain Phil performing the drum solo every single live performance? Is that done with holographic projectors? I suppose the drum duet on the 'we cant dance' live DVD is done with strings or effects handled by industrial light and magic? You complete imbecile!
As for the voice, you speak horse shit there my friend as well. Watch any live phil collins dvd or any dvd and you'll find the vocals arent corrected. Echo and reverb is commonplace on 1980s albums - do your research...
In all seriousness if I dont like an artist or performer I don't go searching forums i know i dislike to get on forums to go 'you know that artist you like well i have decided in my own opinionated little world that he is bollocks.'
When a person has to vomit and poop at the same time.
"I felt so bad, I Phil Collins'd all over the place!"
It's a drink made by drinking a Tom Collins and a Cosmopolitan at the same time, from two different glasses, from two straws. The combination of those two drinks results in a Phil Collins
After drinking two Phil Collins I ended up all wet.
The name u searched DEFINES music (or defined it a few years back ).. ever heard his songs? if no then do try :D
.. hey wait..a lot of people hate him.. srry a lot of jealous ones do..wanna know why? he remained on top during the 80s-90s.. jealousy is inevitable.. but bro/sis reading this def.. simply listen to his songs u'll like them (if u r a music fan not a simple follower of an anti phil Collin person) ..
i wud say that youth of 1980s-90s enjoyed life more than me ..the only reason is that they watched phil collins live :D.. in early 2000s even some tv episodes made fun of him.. who wont..yea.. success is poison only if its not yours// dnt give a damn to what others think...
OMG! its at ur own risk if u become addicted to his most of his songs..like me :P..n remmeber to listen to..
