Why didn't Noel Gallagher sing All Around The World instead of Liam?

I was watching the Trainwreckords episode on Oasis' Be Here Now the other day, where Todd pointed out that Liam's "snotty, nasal" voice is not suited for a "big, Beatles-y anthem of peace and love" that All Around The World tried (and failed) to be.

And it made me think: "Noel probably should've been singing that instead."

My main proof as to why Noel would've done a better job than Liam: Don't Look Back In Anger. All Around The World really needed a vocalist whose voice could soar and convey high emotion. And as DLBIA showcases, Noel could've done a good job.

Mind you, it wouldn't fix all the problems with All Around The World (namely the 9:28 runtime)

(Frustrating trope) Character has an obvious weak spot/vulnerability that NO ONE exploits

Example #1: Thula from [TITLE CARD]

Thula's main gimmick (aside from being a Viltrumite) is that her super-long ponytail has a blade attached to its end, which can even cut Viltrumite skin.

Just one problem: Other combatants could just dodge her strike and then grab the ponytail, pull her towards them, grab the blade and either cut her head off or stab her in the heart with it.

Both Nolan and Thaedus did pull her by the hair...BUT THEY DIDN'T USE HER BLADE AGAINST HER. All Nolan did was break her jaw! And it didn't kill her!

Example #2: Conquest, also from [TITLE CARD]

Many people have already pointed out that Cecil's 0.1 IQ-level decision of not killing Conquest, but allowing him to heal long enough to easily escape his imprisonment wasn't a good idea. At all.

I got another complaint; why didn't Cecil think to surgically implant the same Kaiju scream-emitter (one that would work 24/7 without the need of a remote control) inside his head that he had implanted within Mark that he used liberally throughout season 3? Even if it wouldn't incapacitate Conquest to the same level, it would still disorient him long enough!

Under any circumstances, do NOT make them bleed

Example 1: Xenomorphs from the Alien-franchise.

Their blood is highly corrosive acid. Enough said.

Example 2: Raktabīja, an Asura from Hindu mythology.

For every drop of blood spilled on the ground, a new Raktabīja manifests. Basically, Raktabīja can clone himself endlessly. Kali, the goddess of wrath, had to drink the blood of every Raktabīja clone to kill him permanently.
