When Chante whistled for over five minutes I-

Those low notes by Tori sound so free! I was *shook*... those C3s were so well-projected that I cannot even believe she's a soprano. I thought it was the other girl singing at first because Tori's voice is much lighter than what I'm hearing from this clip. But, as it turns out, because of Tori's technique, she is able to manipulate her voice to sound heavy and light as and when she pleases 🤍

I love it when you said that "your fav may not be the best singer out there but does it change the way you feel about them?"

Tori’s lower register is just INSANE

The thing about Miley is she’s got that special something that is unique to her voice that completely entrances me and pulls me in time and time again.

Thank you for highlighting Chante Moore! People overlook her all the time her whistles are insane ‘It’s alright’ There are many times she’s whistled basically the whole song in concerts

In Solar's case, three two good vocalists and a good rapper make a wonderful group. MAMAMOO are really good individually but when they're together something magical happens

IMHO when it comes to the LM girlies I'd argue how only Perrie is the great vocalist, whilst the other two girls are "good". And although Jade, and arguably Leigh Anne, might be more versatile in the things they do with their voices, Perrie's forte is simply leagues above. I would also like to see a video about "boring" singers. Singers who comfortably sit in their smaller ranges, people who don't show off with complex ornaments - the nuance of good singing, storytelling and musicality. Even though everyone is impressed by a Dimash, So Hyang or Chante - as they should be, there is little love for "modesty" in singing.

Jojo is doing Broadway Moulin Rouge. She is slaying the vocals!

Thanks for showing love to CHANTE MOORE. She's so underrated ❤ . That performance was from the 2022 Soul Train awards. Best performance of the night. She definitely needs her own video 👍

Cynthia Erivo, Jessie J, Faouzia and Kelly Clarkson are my favorite VOCALISTS.

Could you do a video on Leigh-Anne, her vocal control, agility and how she’s shown that in the recent solo covers she did? She’s releasing music soon and it apparently will be RnB/pop and soul infused. Those two covers have really shown her beautiful voice and a different side that no one had heard from her in Little Mix

I'm really eager to see where Haewon and Lily will be vocally in 5 years🥹 I'm still swooning at Lily's When I Was Your Man cover, so heartfelt and bright🤧

I can't even count the number of times I've seen people use the term "GOAT" in reference to singers, vocalists, athletes, actors etc. It really devalues the title: "Greatest of All Time". *Chante Moore deserves much more recognition!* ✨ She delivered extraordinary vocals, stage presence and poise in that medley without breaking a sweat. We barely have great vocal performances at major awards shows anymore, let alone extraordinary vocals like Chante delivered at the BET Soul Train Awards.

You nailed it at the end. It’s about how a singer makes you feel. It’s less about the technical expertise, but it’s the emotion that it conveys. And it’s mostly about the tone (assuming that the singer is otherwise OK/good technically).That’s why even though Miley is not technically “great”, her unique tone makes her stand out and moves people, more than Jojo does (and I love Jojo). Same with Christina Aguilera. Their technically flawed and strained E5s usually move people more than other great singers’ perfect G5s. Because, you can’t fake the unique tone, you either have it or not.

I'm so happy you included Chante Moore in the mix. She has another performance of "It's Alright" , performed last year at City Winery, Atlanta. It's floating around on KZfaq and is just breathtaking. In my opinion, even better than the award ceremony you featured.

If you’re impress by Chante’s performance you should watch Lisa Fisher’s How Can I Ease the Pain live performance and Tamia’s Strangers in My House performance at Apollo.

I would love to see you react to some proficient Korean vocalists! Like son Seungyeon, Lee Haeri, Kim Yeonji, Lee Younghyun etc

I’m stuck mad a JLO stealing if you had my love from Chante. Chante’s is if I gave love

I hollered at Tori Kelly's lows🤯 They are amazing!!

I love this video. I think Miley has one of the best VOICES. I like her VOICE more than Jojo’s, but when it comes to being a vocalist, Jojo wins. Miley has good technique, Jojo has great technique.

You made a great point about musicality and being able to make the right choices with your toolset to express what you want or enhance the song... Personally, I think one of the things that I would consider makes someone "a great vocalist"/vocal technique wise, is CONTROL and, by extension, sustainability. A great vocal technique allows your voice to develop/mature through time instead of you losing your voice. A great technique means you have enough control to do exactly what you want at will, when you want, without being overly inconsistent in different performances, or unreliable when you sing live or go on tour. A great vocalist also can, if their voice ages or even deteriors in some way over time, for whatever circumstantial reason... They can adapt or navigate the situation, adjust their voice or re-arrange the song in order to still deliver a beautiful performance... A great vocalist knows their own instrument better than anyone else, better than they know the palm of their own hand.

i know you mostly analyse female kpop vocals but i’ll love to see you do a ranking of boy groups as well, mostly the popular groups such as exo, bts, seventeen, txt, shinee etc.

I appreciate singers that are equipped with great vocal abilities and the abilities to deliver a story, a message or a vibe when performing. That is why I'm a Mamamoo stan. A group that is vocally outstanding, performance driven in any stage or situation, and most of all the kind of music they give! The great lyrics match with great vocal abilities are like magic to my ears. Same with Wendy's vocals, Hyolyn, Ailee and Taeyeon.

Comparing Miley and jojo was surprising but also AMAZING to me. I’m Miley’s biggest fan ever and I really like jojo and I never realized how similar their ranges and tones were. And even being a Miley STAN I see where jojo beats her in the technicalities and in the consistency. Also I’m glad you compared people with similar ranges bc you can’t compare an alto with a soprano. Great video!!

Another criteria I have is can they sing well live and do so consistently. Everyone has a bad day and no I don't expect perfection all the time, they are human shit happens. However if you don't sound at all like how you do on your CD or only do like 50% of the time then something is wrong and makes me wonder how much technology is behind their talent.

I feel like a good vocalist and a great vocalist know their strengths and how to utilize them, however, I think a great vocalist knows how to better navigate around their “weaknesses” per say and can adapt to many styles and I think that is what makes them great. Everyone learns to sing healthily at some point if there is great vocal demand and performances, that’s what can make or break how sustainable one’s voice can be.

i genuinely miss VOCALIST. i’m a 96’ baby and grew up with my sister who’s an 80’s baby so i grew up listening to the REAL VOCALIST and the decline in talent was happening as i was growing up!

would love for you to mention hayley williams of paramore sometime! i know you can’t fit every vocalist in the world, but that’d be cool to hear your opinion on her. her range is huge and over the years she really worked on her technique, even though she was already a powerhouses years ago. saw them live and she really can keep singing high and stable night after night while having a challenging set list of songs

Yeah Chante Moore is criminally under appreciated she is amazing!! She has such a big range, such good vocal control, she is a great vocalist!

Faouzia aint no joke❤🔥

I liked your last point. It's okay to admit your fave isn't the best ever. Honestly, coming from someone who's stanned the same Kpop group/singer for almost 12 years now, sometimes it's actually more fun because you can truly appreciate their growth and development that way.

I'm so happy to see faouzia here😍

I love how you talk about Rose! Yes, we all love great talented vocalists and what they implement their skills on their singing, but music is for all, both who're amatures and pros. That's the reason why I listen to all genres and each every singers making me feel connected with.

So many precious and beautiful live performances in this video! Thank you for introducing them to us!❤

i would love to see a video talking about Mutya Buena from the Sugababes, she has an incredible low register and husky tone, her voice blends amazing in the Sugababes but also seeing her doing her debut album opened a whole new use of her voice, not many ppl know her but i think she is amazing and so underrated as a vocalist

MARIAH posee un arsenal de talento .su voz y tono es tan unico y celestial. Ejemplo en Open Arms suena y trasmite como los angeles .te amo MARIAH

Wow this is an amazing 🤩 video ‼️ Nothing but straight 💯 A great vocalist for me is someone who can adapt to any musical venue/genre , showcase a wide array of skills in their vocal palate, possesses freedom in their voice in at least 2 octaves or more, and showcase adequate development in each register - but I do tend to lean slightly towards someone who shows development in their upper register as it’s sooooo rare to see in POP 👌🏽‼️ Excellent video - it’s the small things that separates GOOD from GREAT but it’s noticeable and the examples you gave were SPOT ON ✨ Love ❤️ your videos - excellent job Mon Ami 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

i love the conclusion of this video because this is exactly how i feel

Ooohp didn’t expect Solar and Ailee here 🥰 Solar is definitely on her way to her best version especially with her recent training and experience in musicals. Give us an update after her Notre Dame de Paris shows 🥰

no matter how hard i try, i can’t get myself to like jojo’s voice 😔

With Jojo here and she’s my absolute favorite when I was a teenager and why I loved rnb and soul so much. What a waste she didn’t become mainstream.

I got a new love for Chante, always loved Xtina and Jojo, Mariah and Whitney ❤

I would love to see you one day ranking or just talking abt female rock singers. Like Lzzy hale, Maria Brink, Taylor Momsen, Hayley Williams or Lyn Gunn, etc!

WOW, this is amazing!

Excited to be here this early and love your videos! Please could you give an overview of Demi Lovato's rock album? Maybe it could be compared to Miley's? Or a general video about the changing genres of pop artists?

Sometimes what turns me off from Jojo is her nasality.

Love your vids and analysis

JoJo and Tori

Love me some JoJo!!❤️ 4:39

I just love this era of Miley we live for this rock era she is like the white Tina Tunner and we can see Miley have been studying Tina Turnner Style . MILEY lower register is like sunset on Pegion Point Beach Tobago it just so good . Love me Some JOJO and TORI❤️

People rely too much on high notes and vocal runs to prove someone is a well rounded singer. Some people end up using it as a crutch when they lack the ability to make a song technically more interesting. It's also interesting to see how many vocalists considered "good" tend to be more viable as pop singers.

Truthfully I see why you put some of these together to show how vastly different they are but I wish the pairings were more similar but still a great video

*I'm sooo early!!! Your channel makes me miss VocalTube so much. Love those times.* 😭

Pls make a ranking chart of the western/kpop vocalists

Exactly. I LOVE debut album Britney Spears' vocals. Especially on 'E-mail My Heart', 'Thinkin About You' and 'I Will Still Love You'. And not just her debut, but all the soulful demos she cut before it released. Before her management made her go the _baby voice_ route.

Hey I know that this comment probably won’t be seen by you but I came across your channel today and I find it to be pretty cool. I’m very interested in the voice and how it works, especially since I’m trying to get on the same level as these singers in the future so it’s nice to hear these video essays so I can put these thoughts in perspective while I practice. I’ve also noticed that you uploaded quite a few videos covering kpop artists, I’m really interested in jpop and I know they are similar but if I’m allowed to request videos would you make a video essay about jpop singers as well? When it comes to a specific topic I don’t really mind what it is, I’m just interested in your input on their voices as well. Sorry for rambling on so much, keep up the great work and content!!

It’s ACTUALLY upsetting how many amazing vocalists are on TikTok. Like it’s upsetting they all won’t make it because there isn’t space for all of them. Some of them are super extra jumping all over the place tho. 🫢

I saw, heard and came for; Mariah Carey and Tori Kelly, l LOVE them both sooooooo much!💗💗💗💗💗💗 Great video! :D

Could you make a video explaining why some singers are better known than others?

Can u do a video on Cimorelli? Their voices and harmonies r AMAZING!!! Prolly the best sister girl band ever

Jojo a better vocalist sure, Miley's aching delivery and emotive tone is something that Jojo can never touch. Miley is an artist, Jojo is a singer.

My fave is actually joy's voice. Out of all kpop. Yes, wendy and seulgi have better skills. But the one that stuck in my head the most is actually joy. I hope she has the opportunity to release more solo albums in the future and be more active w/ her singing career in red velvet as well

I suggest you to listen to Diana Ankudinova. She is so ethereal and unique in her own way. Her singing tone is really mesmerising

Can I ask if you can review SNSD/Girls' Generation? Because I haven't saw any of your videos talking about them regarding on their vocals only Taeyeon.

i love ur vids but i wish you could include rock vocalists too. amy lee and hayley williams have fantastic voices.

What do you think about Ahyeon and Haram??? They're my favs. Babymonster is such a strong vocal group. The first time in YG!!!

Honestly I’m surprised you didn’t put Madison beer against Ariana grande

Considering how many singers there are in comparison with how many people there are in the world, I don't think we're generalizing if we're putting 100 or even 1000 singers as great singers.

The jade and Tori comparison was a bit odd but I I feel like we've seen more from Leigh Anne and perrie vocally specifically in ballads as those 2 always shine the most with there powerhouse abilities but sometimes I feel like jade holds herself back because she's not comfortable. She's the only one from little mix including Jesy that I've never heard a solo cover from so I'm very excited to see her shine in her element. She doesn't need to be a powerhouse to be great I love her falsetto and lows it's one of the best of this generation imo.

can you do more of nmixx??

The intro music sounds familiar... is it purple kiss’s nerdy??

IM SPEECHLESS TOO

Of course Chante would be a great vocalist. Her name literally means "Sing" in french

I feel like I heard that melody in the outro before I just don't remember where Naruto maybe? Idk

Miley can be great if she want to be great. She just doesn't want to focus on higher notes. She is indeed a wildcard.

Well as someone who actually trains every kind of technique. In order to make music just using my mouth. I can say, what is a good technique is questionable. To the beginners out there. Instead of learning every technique that's out there, focus on two or three techniques. And make them perfect. If you trained the technique and it sounds good. There is a good chance you misplaced it. Singing Mongolian "my heart will go on." Or tuvan billie jean. Might be a good party trick. Take pavaroti, louis Armstron, michael Jackson and James brown. They all are refered as the greatist singers of all kinds. And due to the fact that they all used different aproaches I am not a fan of asking if someone is technicaly good. One of my favorite artists is Björk. Not because she has great vocal controll (which she has.) But because of her childlike way she sees things. Also if you may listen to me. You might be impressed. But on this point you may not listen to it again and again. If I compose music (which I do just for fun.) Most of the time it's getting better by deleting instruments. Not by adding more and more Instruments. And well I know as soon as you can do a technique you actually want to use it everywhere. But don't do this I falled for this my self.

While I think there are some not-so-great Kpop singers out there, I think _most_ Kpop lead vocalists (not the DANCERS, RAPPERS. or VISUALS) are actually really good singers.

Chante is da bomb!!!!! ❤

My fav ( beyonce ) is under appreciated by most ( the few educated ones - i see you). Its hard to stan rhe only living vocal virtuoso and hear people compliment mediocrity

Is that outro fairy tail?

I’m sorry but whenever I listen to Ailee’s belts I always feel that she’s struggling a lot. It’s probably because of her nasal voice, whenever I hear it I think that the singer is struggling, cause it does feel kinda forced. I guess I don’t prefer this kind of voice 😅 I like her though, don’t get me wrong

7:38 name of the song please

who is the person performing in the purple dress with the whistle notes, that is beautufl

have you ever done a video about IU?

I think Miley can actually be considered at least a very good singer, maybe short of great but she's definitely better than just good !

if she teams up with like ariana grande main writers (victoria monet, tayla parx, illya , max martin, ect)

What about Coco Jones?

you better start including shoshana bean on your repertoire or im sueing

What’s the song at 5:42?

When I got to his favorite vocalist I completely felt like this video was a waste of my time

Tori is hugely slept on

jade and only

Ailee 👑👑👑👑

“If everybody is a great vocalist, then nobody is” what is that take?? Everybody can be a great vocalist because it means that they take time in their day to protect & perfect their crafts. Literally this video made no sense. Also the only reason why Chante Moore is so underrated is because no one listens to deep R&B anymore. This video is a huge no

IT'S LIKE POPULAR , UNIQUE, SOUND GOOD, ARTISTIC SINGERS VS OVERSINGING, UNPOPULAR, GENERIC MUSIC , FLOP SINGERS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love Tory Kelly's agility and skills, but her tone is not my favorite. In Miley's case, she didn't have the healthiest technique over the years. Also, Disney didn't proportionate her the best vocal couches to become the most outstanding vocalist, although Miley improved a lot over the year without the control of Disney.

for example… tori kelly has the voice but not good musicship! like her newest single is GOOD BUT NOT GREAT LIKE HER VOICE

Rose voice is unique n so good to my ears.

6:21 omg????
