These kids will rock you.

In fact, that's the name of the group: Kids Will Rock You. I am pretty sure they are a French group, but they usually sing in English.
This is a wonderful version of the Eagles' 'Hotel California'. The lead singer boy is exceptionally good.

Thanks for the link. Not really my cup of tea, but I'm sure others will enjoy.

I agree that the video really isn't very good and it doesn't feature the boys in it enough, but what I like about it is the beautiful voice of the lead singer boy. I was impressed by the feeling he put into it. Too bad they don't actually show which one did the lead. Not a well produced video, but still worth seeing and especially hearing, I think.

I was assuming the blond with the black shirt was the soloist based on his appearance in the video about 2:12. He appears to be lip synching to the vocals....

No, I was actually referring to the music. As much as I'm a fan of boy actors, there are very few boy singers that I enjoy listening to. In fact, none that I can think of, with the exception of some classical music (i.e., boy choirs), and even then I'm more picky than most. Also, I can't stand The Eagles, and especially Hotel California.

But hey, that's just me.  I also dislike 95% of what plays on the radio. But I understand why people here enjoy that sort of thing.

----------------------------------

Actually, the blond is the one I guessed might be the lead singer, but I'm not sure due to the muddled style the video is filmed in, so didn't want to comit to venturing a guess. I hope it is him as he looks exactly how I envision the singer when I hear him singing this song. They did a whole series of classic rock songs on a CD. Anyone who is interested can see more of those videos on You Tube if they're interested.

thanks K,

It's obviously their own voices, but do they actually do the instruments as well?  Or is it more like a karaoke performance.  I'm impressed if they do the music as well.  The kid on the guitar toward the end looks cool.

I think it's a bit of an odd song for kids to sing though, the lyrics seem to reflect the voice of experience in some sort of psychedelic den of iniquity.

I'll check out some of the other clips at a later date.

That's exactly what I thought too. Shocked Odd choice for such a pure, sweet-sounding voice, yet he sings with such feeling he carries it off well, in my opinion.
