I think the guys is a more interesting singer than a looper ;-))   He
just uses looping as a recorder and not as an instrument. His voice is
obviously his best instrument and he should have called in a band to
perform that song together with him instead of performing it with such
pointless looping.

But musical aspects are obviously not the point here, which is sad.
The way Wired is writing implies that the point is to show the world
how "talented" the person is since he can play several instruments for
only two bars each. How lame.

Bring in Imogen Heap or Andrew Bird that uses looping creatively in a
pop song context.
