Perhaps because it isn't real?
The clip sounds like it was sung by somebody in their late 20s or early 30s, not by a 54 year old man. It's somebody doing an impression of how Morrissey sounded twenty years ago. It also sounds like it was recorded directly onto a cheap digital recorder by a young man with his acoustic guitar, rather than something which was captured on a handheld audio recorder by a shifty character in Morrissey's rehearsal space (it's much too clear for that).
Additionally, listen to the ending again. It doesn't end abruptly as if the person recording it hit the 'stop' button to avoid getting caught; instead the guitar rings out at the end, so it was "Boz" who stopped strumming the guitar rather than the shifty rehearsal space dweller ending the recording. Why would Morrissey and Boz play the first four lines of 'Earth is the Loneliest Planet' on acoustic guitar and then suddenly stop? 'Boz' didn't play the wrong chord, 'Morrissey's' voice didn't break, there were no obvious interruptions such as somebody walking in unexpectedly, and 'Morrissey' didn't tell 'Boz' to stop playing. Instead they stopped of their own accord, with nothing being said during the five seconds that it took for the guitar to ring out.
The guitar playing is fairly rudimentary (which is the only thing which leads me to believe that it MIGHT be Boz), and even though the voice does sound especially like Morrissey's at about :5 seconds, there are other times when it doesn't sound like him at all. It sounds more like the voice on the 'Morrissey Christmas album' video clip (remember that?), somebody trying very hard to replicate Morrissey's intonations and cadences, and succeeding occasionally but other times not so much.
It's humorous to see how many of the 'fans' have fallen for it though! You can stop falling for it now, because I've debunked the voice clip quite successfully (as The Viscounts once [almost] queried; 'who put debunk in debunk, bunk bunk?'). You must all try harder to distinguish Morrissey's real voice from an imposter's, you're supposedly 'fans'. I know it can be difficult to tell the difference at times, anybody can imitate their idols if they try hard enough. Take me for example,
I've been emulating BrummieBoy's personality traits for the past few months now and I've become even better than the real thing! Ahem!
To quote what WB Yeats said to the audience during a performance of The Playboy of the Western World in the Abbey Theatre after a riot had broken out: "You have let yourselves down once again". All of this speculating about whether the voice in the clip is or is not the voice of a faded 1980s pop star is a bit too pointless and 'camp' for me, so I'm off to watch the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Where true talent shines! Can Morrissey's vocal performances on his upcoming tour even begin to rival the high calibre and professionalism of these fresh-faced youngsters on Europe's biggest stage? Don't count on it! Maybe he can enlist 'Anonymous' and his acoustic guitar to play from the side of the stage which he can then mime to, like Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain. Steven 'Lypsinka' Morrissey. Srsly! I'm sure he can laugh about it someday but for now it's terrible. Judging from his Nobel 'Peace' Prize performance he'll need all the help he can get.
Why do you think he only played Art-hounds once in concert? His voice couldn't handle the falsetto. Listen to it again!
He's no Conchita Wurst, but if he tries hard enough then someday he can 'rise like a phoenix' (if he focuses on emulating Anonymous' voice). It's easy! *rolls eyes* Ahem! *yawn*
Yours, in aemulatio!
Stertere!
