My brutally honest opinion: KPop Stan’s need to learn what a whistle note is because they’re throwing that term around way too freely

Ariana’s vibrato and the way she can manipulate it is so gorgeous

couldn't agree with you more about the jisoo jennie debate. i am so sick of people still saying that jennie is a better vocalist than jisoo when jisoo has proven on multiple occasions during the born pink tour that she really is the superior vocalist. i am in no way saying that jennie is a bad singer, but she is so inconsistent. my girl's highs on the tour have been so high but her lows are so god damn low it just makes me sad.

actually, true lambs really praise the 2015 Jamaica show!! she was really "excited" that day, and her creativity goes through the roof. so many note changes, almost impeccable musicality, and she SANG that day. waiting impatiently for the video about it.

I'm a very big Swiftie and i absolutely agree, Taylor is pretty inconsistent and unpredictable. She has days when i'm like: ''Did Whitney's spirit possessed her that day?'' and she has days when i'm like: ''Girl, WTF was that?'' I absolutely agree with you that with Folklore, Evermore and Midnights she found a style that fits her perfectly and uses more her strengths like her amazing lower register, vocal transitions, and playing with dynamics and emotions. She's a decent belter and sometimes she can really surprise but it never was her biggest strength, so i'm happy now she belts less but focuses more on overall control and stablity. Taylor's going on tour in a month, she's touring for the first time since 2018 and she didn't perform a full set since end of 2019, so i'm very interested how she will sound like. I expect slightly shaky start but more she will perform the better she will sound. I don't know how much you watch of her performances but i can tell that during start of an era and promotional performances she's very unpredictable but when she's on tour she sounds much better and shows much more control and better technique. I remember you said in one video something like: there are 2 types of singers: 1) singers who needs proper rest after performances and 2) singers that needs to perform consistently to be in a good vocal shape. And Taylor is in the 2nd category, she needs to perform consistently or she will become very unpredictable. I really think Taylor should visiting vocal coach again because the potential she has in unbelievable. The problem is that Taylor never had any intentions to become a powerful vocalist, she always wanted to be a storyteller and songwriter and artist in general. She worked on her voice to be able to give a good show and when she achieved this she stopped working, which is such a shame. So i really think she should working with vocal coach again, it's not just her, EVERY SINGLE ARTIST SHOULD HAVE A VOCAL COACH!

Jisoo and Jennie both are underdeveloped so thats not a big gap to ppl worry abt who is better.

I think Little Mix solo music is finally upon us. Leigh-Anne recently released a short video and at the end was SHE IS COMING!. It looks like Leigh-Anne will drop her debut sometimes in next 2 months. Jade and Perrie definitely will release their debuts as well this year, but i expect them to do it much later. I'm expecting music from Jade probably by the end of summer and Perrie sometime in fall.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING LITTLE MIX ESPECIALLY JADE 🤧

I’ve never liked Taylor swift but damn she sang live with no fears, knowing that she isn’t a great vocalist

THANK YOU for being honest. Especially about Bey’s performances. She is a 10/10, but no one can move like that and sound like they’re standing still. And the Dubai performance she gave it away by missing her cue and her head movements.

if you're a vocal snob to think vibrato is the most attractive vocal ornament, i guess I'm also one. and runs, I'm a sucker for runs too. doesn't need to be complex with Mariah level 55 notes in some seconds, just good.

As a Beyoncé fan i know how hard can be to explain to other fans that she uses lip-sync. What these fans need to understand is that this doesn't mean she's not a good singer, actually she's a great singer one of the best out there, BUT HIVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS SHE USES LIP-SYNC. Let's be polite.

I agree that some voices are just better than others. Was watching Burlesque with Christina Aguilera when this really hit me. Like how on earth does she sound like that

Jisoo always has been a better vocalist than Jennie, Kpop fans need to stop basing their arguments in vocal support cause most of them doesn't even know what is that about or have a mistakenl opinion. Jisoo is a better vocalist due to her registers overall are more developed, she's more consistent and some other things included. I do think Jennie is a better belter, but that itself doesn't make her better than Jisoo.

JADE THIRLWALL IS COMING HUNS, IM WAITING FOR HER DEBUT SOLO ALBUM

I think Jennie has a better technique, but Jisoo is more consistent as someone mention here. I think Jisoo singing comes more naturally, while Jennie is more hit or miss.

About Little Mix's solos: 1. They said they won't release music at the same time to avoid competition, comparison and (probably to sell better since mixers will focus on one artist at a time) 2. They're perfectionists so probably don't want to rush their creative process (like the ex member did) and release a single with no proper concept for her solo debut album and era. 3. Leigh-Anne confirmed we can expect new music this year in an interview at the Brits. 4. Jade an Perrie will propobly follow Leigh, as she's the one who seems to be releasing music first. I guess it'll be: Leigh, then Jade and Perrie last.

Ariana's vibrato is so gorgeous!! Also to the first point, it's absolutely true that lip sync is necessary in many situations even though it's good to be able to tell when they are singing live vs when they are lip syncing-many times it's quite obvious actually. Yeah, Beyonce's an AMAZING and underrated vocalist but still she lip syncs sometimes when she wants to perform and dance like crazy-it's very hard to sing and dance. Or sometimes they lip sync to protect their voice on tours and things like that which is also completely fine. As long as they are able to sing live that's all that matters.

Love ❤️ this topic ….. always cool but interesting opinions 💯 Great video as always ‼️

1 - Some people really don't know the difference between "not singing live" and "not singing well". 2 - I love Rihanna discography and she can be a very capable vocalist when she wants to, but the performance was weak 3 - There are voices that I prefer listening to rather than some technically developed ones 4 - I just hope the marketing for the solos are great to create some hype after the break 5/6 - I think musicality is an important part of it, there are vocalists that don't use a lot of vibrato but are still great to listen to 8 - Inconsistency always bugs me 9 - Gugudan's Nayoung and WJSN's Yeonjung also sound like Taeyeon 10 - I don't like none of the songs, but Nxde is slightly better. I still think the aesthetics (outfits and MV) and "Reset" are the best part of the comeback 11 - Like I said before, Jennie bugs me. There are performances that make me believe her technique is more well rounded than Jisoo's, but Jisoo is far more consistent 12 - Vision is nearly perfect, Fairytale is one of their best songs and their intro and outro are top tier as always. I prefer their other special releases, but I enjoy Reason

I disagree about the Beyoncé Dubai clip. At the start of her singing that iconic part she puts her hand on the mic which muffles her voice for a second,which i don’t think would happen if it was a track playing. Also there was no noticeable volume change or tone change from the clear live vocals just before that part,to the alleged track that played at that part. I feel like it’s more likely live than not

Thanks for the video~~~ This was fun for real ❤️❤️❤️❤️

When you think of singers, you have Christina Aguilera who’s voice will always be recognized. The emotive and power of her voice are unmatched. She may not be technically trained but the rawness makes her voice unique and something out of world.

unpopular opinion, more artists 2000s/2010s would've seen a Katy Perry-type end to their career if not for Tiktok making it hard to break new artists. (I say that because I think Katy's spot in music was replaceable, no one felt like they were missing anything when she stopped making smash hits. There are more artists in that category that have stayed relevant. Seeing as people are drawn to nostalgic music, official AI posthumous songs may become a thing

I understand Rihanna’s show was underwhelming (I liked it she played the hits) but for some reason I feel like were expecting something more

OMG YES VIDEO ABOUT 2015 JAMAICARIAH I don't regret a second subbed to this channel.

Totally Agree with you on being impatient on songs Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade. What's taking them so long. We've seen them in studios. I am not expecting a full album, just give us one song

3:45 i mean Leigh kinda hinted at maybe an album this year😅 ion kno if that’ll happen tho, but i hope so😭

in my country there is a singing style called "Tahrir" which mostly rely on vibrato ... so I love people who have really good vibrato .. I don't like sharp high notes but I like falsetto and mid-belts ... I don't like high pitched voices too

I disagree about Beyonce's Drunk In Love performance in Dubai being lipped. In the beginning of the riff, she accidentally covers the mic with her hand, and you can hear the muffled sound. Not to mention, she wasn't doing a lot of choreo like she was in the Deja Vu and Baby Boy performances. Plus, a few of the background dancers said that she did it all live.

yes yes yes. about natural talent. it's annoying but it's the truth. individual uniqueness will always make some better than others. this doesn't just stop at voices. but it's everything. that's why you can be the hardest worker, have the most experience and still not get as far as someone else. as upsetting as that can be i think it's so fascinating. that we're all just genetically better in some things. we don't ask to be we just are. it's very interesting. and it's part of why we have celeb cuktire because not just anyone can sound like that, act like that, move like that or look like that. also i will say that i don't think taylor has ever been half as unpredictable and inconsistent as people say. maybe during her first years but she has consistently improved throughout each era. i think she's just human, she's been through things that affect the voice directly. her voice has taken years to mature and bring out this depth in her tone and since singing was never her focus it naturally would take her longer to build her technique. i mean she was only 16 at the start. in a brand new company just doing what she could. she usually sounds just fine. she's just not explosive and her strength lies in calmness. her lower register, her breath control. she's not a belter. but she's comfortable enough in her voice. i would say she's no different to any other decent vocalist.

All I’m saying is that if Pierre doesn’t hit us with some Celine Dion mixed with some Paramore stuff. This year I’m throwing hands!

great video as always 💗

you’re really pointing out as if Beyoncé cannot sing and isn’t a star vocalist. 😆 you display her as an intro and outro for us to disregard that you’re not shading or underestimating her LIVE vocal prowess. play ‘resentment live’ or ‘dangerously in love live’ or ‘why don’t you love me live in brazil’, and all other b*tches will be falling under. 😊

Miyeon trained in YG and was originally supposed to be a part of a 9 member lineup (with the Blackpink members) called PinkPunk, which would be YG's SNSD (Girls Generation). It wouldn't surprise me if she was trained in a similar vein while at YG, and later, Cube.

just jisoo existing make my heart flatter

That MC concert in Jamaica was so good! I miss her singing like that

Wow! Thanks! I totally agree with you about Morissette's voice. More of Mori please! The Phoenix keeps on soaring...

i don't really get the jisoo vs jennie debate because they're both so underdeveloped it can be argued either way. i think we can all agree that vocal lessons would do them both some good

When I first heard Miyeon's Drive I instantly imagined Taeyeon singing that song and in that way.

It is a fact that jisoo is the second best vocalist in bp after rosè jennie got her position as a lead vocalist only years after her debut

What is your opinion on Taylor Swift's vocals during the Fearless Tour?

Yes I really needed this 🤍 I do agree that people presume most lipped vocals to be live. Excuses like "You can hear breathing" or "The mic is on", like you said, do not work. Breathing can be pre-recorded to make it sound live. That first Beyoncé performance was very obviously lipsynced... it isn't humanely possible, even for Beyoncé, to sing with that much control while flapping her legs around and doing that much movement and dancing. It was kind of hard to tell with the second Beyoncé performance though. Edit: The second performance (Drunk In Love) is DEFINITELY lipped, now that I think about it. The water was spraying all over the place; the fact that the mic didn't pick up any additional sound whatsoever proves that it was off the whole time.

Taeyeon's voice post 2014 and miyeon's voice are similar in some aspects yes,but her voice before that was soo robust,dark and full,pls check taeyeon's acapella moments ,a 6 min video wherein many of her earlier career clips are included

Neither of my parents can sing, but ariana is mother so I really learn a lot

I would love if you do a video about the underestimation of kpop vocalists

Can you make a video on who you think is the best vocalist in Cimorelli? Or can you grade their harmonies?

Taylors live performances improved when she gained some healthy weight and got in amazing shape. She wasn't so out of breath all the time and learned better control. She's still shakey here and there but a 100% improvement.

Thank you for the jisoo and jennie one. I keep arguing with people but bc jennie is more popular my opinion is always out numbered. There is just no measure by which jennie is a better vocalist than jisoo

Beyonce in Dubai was live, you can hear the microphone not pick up the beginning of the first run. that wouldn't happen with prerecorded vocals.

Finally someone said it don’t get me wrong I think Jennie and jisoo are both good vocalist but jisoo has always been a bit more stable consistent and just more natural

My ears spotted a Purple Kiss outro and I hope there is more to come on that!

About 7:48 i feel like Chaewon from Class:y sounds exactly like a young version of Taeyeon, way more than Miyeon, but they have similar tone too!

Taylor's voice really is inconsistent,but it's gotten much more stable and better since 1989 (maybe,or is it Rep?) era. Not shaky,sometimes still pitchy,can hit high notes with ease now,still killing it with them low notes everytime,and still a queen at belting. For me,the only eras where she performed bad vocally are Debut,Fearless,and Red era. I don't think she still has the same vocal coach,but her voice has gotten a lot better,all she needs to do now is to have confidence (Maybe it's just me but if u pay attention to videos where she performs at a show where there's only a couple of people and those videos where she performs something at a concert,whether it's a surprise song,an acoustic version of it,or something,u can see that she looks more comfortable singing to places with fewer people [Not that she performs badly on her concerts.] (Im not rlly good at English but if u get what im saying,then there's no need to comment about my grammar.😽)

Can you do Siyeon vs Yoohyeon vocal battle or something?

As a jensetter I agree jisoo is a better vocalist than Jennie ,like let's not be delusional now,and what buggin me is that Jennie doesn't have enough vocal material that really showcase her skills even though she is the second in line distribution....her legato is nice and I'm waiting for teddy to start giving her more melisma line....oh and you did jisoo wrong there ,find a better clip and reasoning to prove jisoo is better than Jennie cuz those tight belt is not it ....overall love the video ..

@ain'tnootherfan please elaborate on how the dubai performance wasn't lived..... I've rewatched it up to 56 times now

In the 90’s and early 2000’s sometimes performers wouldn’t even have microphone or even a small microphone for dancing so you could clearly tell someone was lip syncing

1:24 i’m shook 😵 i won’t see this performance the same anymore 🥲😤

Morissette dazzles! She is the consummate vibrato Queen.

Oh lord this video is so fan made with you salivating over kpop 😅

I think Demi’s vibrato improved a lot in her Tiny Desk.

Does anyone know what song is being sung at the 4:34 mark by who I assume is lady gaga?

5:55 finally somebody talks about this. 🙌

I want to know why you and that Garagestudio hater seem to think the Drunk in Love clip is not live? Like on what basis do y'all make these claims?

I can't believe that it still has to be said that Jisoo is a better vocalist than Jennie, for real I thought there are no debates about it cause it's obvious 😅

What are your thoughts on nmixx s living singing ( lily performing o.o with hand mic) they are really using mic and putting cds in their blood

Can't wait for a video about Mariah's concert in Jamaica

Taylor’s long pond sessions surprised the hell out of me. I wish she’d done it for evermore.

6:05 Ariana grande vibrato on Sometimes is really gorgeous. ✨✨✨

Let's not rush little mix it's only been like under a year since their last tour. Leigh Anne seems to be obviously ready to release music. She's been treated well by her team (so far) by being booked and invited to big events in America and the UK. You'll have to be patient with them as this is new to them and you'll have to wait if you're a perrie and jade Stan because they expressed that they won't release anything at the same time to avoid the messy media putting them against each other on the charts etc (although they still will put them against each other no matter what) I think it's lovely of them to wanna support each other and let each other shine on their own, true friendship 💜 I can't wait to see what Leigh Anne releases.

The Beyoncé stans are something else 😂 I love her too but she fell to the floor with no movement in her voice and people are really out here saying that it was live?? No ma'am

You cut out the part in the dubai bit where beyoncé covers her mic and messes up and then starts again...

I disagree, Beyonce dubai was live . The other 2 Beyonce ones were pre recorded

Thank you so much for talking about how Beyoncé uses prerecorded vocals sometimes. I talk about this all the time and get torn to pieces for it. But it’s fine, she puts on a great show she doesn’t have to sing live all the time. But let’s just be real about it. She’s not super human 😭

How do you always come up with the most interesting videos

bro i been sayin that clip of beyonce in dubai isn't live. u can see she was abt to say smthn on the mic to the dude strapping her on when the track started singing for her😭

More videos about male singers?

Can we talk about how all these amazing singers have been training and performing since they were a child!

Unpopular Opinion: As a lamb, I think Mariah made A HUGE Mistake by not hiring a vocal coach knowing the fact that she has nodules. Slowing down on the alcohol also. It saddens me cause she could've been sounding just like celine if not better at 50 years old.

Why specifically target Bey and use THREE instances where she lip synced…and even one from a decade ago like what was ur point there?? What unpopular opinion was it tht needed three clips of her lfmaoao jus being shady for no reason

i think miyeon sounds more like jessica out of any snsd member tbh

What is the song called at 6:04?

Aespa are touring currently and i've seen some videos of them singing live.. I guess... Check them out

What parts of Rihanna's halftime show did she sing live? It's still hard for me to tell

5:36 still better than today's pop gurls

I wouldn’t call Taylor swift a “vocalist” 😂

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new group Fifty Fifty

3:23 what is that song

OMG Celine :)

Answer me this pls: in ur honest opinion can Ningning sing live? Because her voice sound so weak whenever she has to do her high notes.

I’ve lost faith in Beyoncé’s live performance as a whole the day I saw her in Montreal, her hair got caught in a fan and she « continued singing » Halo like nothing was happening while staff people were pulling and pushing her around to get her free from the damn fan. She hit the note.

5:45 Arianators get it 👇

1:39 someone on tiktok made a video about this being lipped and it drove the beyhive crazy. that was an intense show so can't throw stones because if she messed up, would mess up the whole thing but i'm pretty sure that was the only pre recorded part

Rihanna has stage presence, idk what you talking about, I to be fair the reviews are more from Pop fans who normally like an artist who doesn't dance or doesn't have stage presence. The GP loved, they are still trying to learn choreography. The halftime show was CLEAN visually, goes with her being pregnant, choreography on point, the setlist were great, the production was GREAT, the stages are revolutionary, it will probably make room for new stages like this on the field. And people who comment on Rihanna or her concerts have never seen any of her concerts. The Rock In Rio one had BARELY any dance, or stage production, nor big screen, and it's one of the best shows EVER.

Drunk in Dubai is live

I mean I think there is a time and place where going outside of the " technical standard " is beneficial. I mean technique doesn't really have birth roots in genres like Rock, jazz, blues, etc. Yeah vocal standards are always going to sound okay or nice in them, but sometimes certain characteristic flaws can be interesting, creative, purposeful or sound better. I mean plenty of traditional old vocal styles build their own technique on going against what we see as " appropriate " vocal technique. I think we also put certain people on too high of a pedestal. Yes you can hear when someone is obviously more vocally skilled, but . . . Look at Whitney Houston, vocal olympian. Now look at her national anthem. Unless you're delusional, it's fucking terrible. The same for Gaga's and Mariah's. Meanwhile look at Cher's , Cher is obviously not vocally on their level but she mops the floor with all of them by comparison on these performances. Whitney tried too hard to be different, weaving a tapestry of mix-matched vocals that just didn't go together and felt more like a KZfaq challenge for showing off her vocals rather than performing a piece to the best of its capabilities. Instead it was " let me show everything my voice can do. " Mariah made it too sexy and Gaga performed it as a ballad. Cher on the other hand UNDERSTANDS an assignment and goes for how to perform the piece to the best of her ability. It's full, it's rich, it's depth-filled, it hits peaks and climaxes and even with a deep voice she manages to make her voice SOAR. An anthem is meant to be inspiring and empowering, she nailed that. Having the ability to hit everything and the techniques to do so easily give you the potential to be a better singer than ______, but they don't always mean you're better because there is more than just range and technique, etc. When it comes to the importance of what makes a good singer. And in some cases being able to hit everything makes you lazy and predictable and serves as an excuse for you not to have to be creative for your vocalizations.

Rihanna sang a lot live and even got the her lyrics wrong, but also used pre-recorded probably because the instability being up there. And that wouldn't be something new on the halftime show because basically EVERY artist goes there and lip syncs, Beyoncé, Bruno, Mj, Madonna, Katy Perry, Mary, Jlo and Shakira couldn't tell nobody they were not lipsycing. Rihanna does not lipsync at her live shows, so she's not used to it.

I actually really love Demi's voice. For me, their voice is so unique, powerful and full out feelings

Idk about the Dubai one just cause as she was adjusting herself on the lift, her hand passed over the microphone and her voice got muffled for a quick second, which means it was on. I definitely think she was singing, at least for parts of it.
