I agree in general but (as always) there are exceptions. Take Suzuka Nakamoto (aka Su-Metal from Babymetal) for example. She basically is a product for a big company but will still put every pop singer to shame. And I think there are some pop singers out there that actually are passionate and talented. I just can't think of one right now.

Fr. U can kind of see it in the appearances too. Almost all the girls r always beautiful for both side, but the guys in pop r really pretty and the rock guys tend to look like alternative dads yet theyre waaay better. Talent vs looks

@@bropoke6799 And even there, you'll be hard pressed to find a male pop singer that looks as good as young Kiske, or Roy Kahn and is good enough to be their backup singer...

Metal singers aren't always very "good". Sometimes they are just there as personalities/faces of the band and the instrumentalists got the real technical skills for live performances. But agree with the passion part.

Not product, by-product

But still there where not near the mastery of real Opera/Musical Theater singers like Sarah Brightman , Luciano Pavarotti , María Callas , Joan Sutherland , Andrea Boceli , René Fleming and Enrico Caruso those artista i mention put to shame all of these metal singers to you know period there low vocally

@@WeiyunMike your comparison is utter shit

True

@@WeiyunMike can those singers sing a variety of music???....no. Check out Floor Jansen of Nightwish

@@yurinaytar3023 i like Floor Jansen but when a heard her cover of Adagio by Lara Fabian that is a Masterclass Performer with outstanding Technique , Musicality and i would say that is not near to Lara Fabian perfect Resonanse , Ring and Clarity that woman is unmatchin most aspects specially because she study in Classical trained singing back in the Real Conservatory of Brussels

She just sits on the highest echelon with Floor so its rare to place her with ahem COMMON folk

Yuup finally 😍😍

LOOOOOOVE Sharon den Adel! She is SO amazing! The best singer in this video, in my opinion. 😊 #SharondenAdel #WithinTemptation

😍

YEAH🤩🥰

Not necessary... if Floor was tagged in, they'd have to play the Simpson's meme "stop, stop, he's already dead!!"

True. It's basically like putting a mortal against a Valkyrie Queen

Exactly.

@@dalia1598 Does your village know its idiot has internet access?

I know this isn't going to be a popular take but if you compare Floor to other opera singers (watch any video of Diana Damrau) she's not actually that special in the grand scheme of things. Don't get me wrong she is fantastic but she's not as good as the opera greats. Okay I've braced myself, you can tell me how much I suck at life now.

They nail the autistic singing tho

For the people who really love music, every genre have its own personal taste and come on everyone have their own audience so ther os no worst or best ther is only music that move the masses

Lol im not a pop fan but Lady gaga have some crazy vocals watch her howard Stern videos

@@colorblindracist6739 There are definetely better singers than Lady Gaga, but she is a great artist, nobody can deny that. Can't hate her

Its not about being pop or not dude. I am a huge metalhead, however we can't forget that Wes Scantlin covering Nirvana happened...

In popular music you have to work with the instrument you have. It´s more about promoting the song/person and milking the cow in that fast living business whilst not protecting and building the instrument. If it doesnt suit, there is always the ability to do some technical trickery. When these performers are forced to play live they are tense and out of their comfort zone. And a great part is that most pop songs are written by some other people than the performer itself. You can´t compare that to a band doing rehearsals over and over again till they have their own "baby".

Exactly, they think they can just sing all those complicated notes without any harm, we literally have a scientific technique to scream with our voices.

Rose Wolfgang well you can find many tutorials online, I’m not sure how to explain it though.

Rose Wolfgang ☺️🖤

@Rose Wolfgang I initially learned from this video, but I’m not very good.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbWlmLGC3pyxip8.html

Suddenly they sound like shit.

Oh shit yeah

Shht thats a big secret in music business ;). If a solo voice is weak and shitty , mix a choir in the back to create some richness and harmony. also very common is a reverb effect for that.

While Eric Adams does call and response with a choir. Lol

UTA are still far too underrated, really. The band as a whole is just incredible!

@@H311hunt3r They are all extremely good at what they do.

Ikr they are my current favorite band their last two albums are soo good

I love Tony so, so much. Seeing him live is amazing, he puts so much heart and soul into it.

Elize is definitely the cutest of them all...

Tony used to be absolutely amazing live, these days I wouldn't go to a concert if I was paid unfortunately.

Yeah she's ok

I'd definitely exclude her from this bunch, too, she's an awesome singer. So is Lady Gaga, rock numbers just don't really suit her, I'd say.

Florence Welch is also alright...

No . She is trash too. The whole pop is trash Except michael jackson.

Only worthwhile music of western is Metal. Period. Others are overrated as fuck.

I see you everywhere 😂

Simone Simons is not shabby either.

Same!

Finally! Someone who understands

@@unrandomcualquiera...1122 Yeah man! That's the way it is. The artists of any set genre themselves are just like any other. Pop artists are not at fault for the oversaturation of pop. They don't decide when and how and how much their music is played in media. Its the corporations that like to sell music just for the money and have no respect for the art whatsoever!

Literally! This is why everyone who isn’t a metalhead thinks metalheads are elitists and this video really brought them all out in the comment section. Pop artists are doing their own thing as metal artists. There’s just as much bad artists in both genres, for example metal bands who have vocalists whose voices are too strained to perform well the entire show and pop artists who can only sing perfectly on their recorded albums and are just plain and unfamiliar in live shows. I prefer metal over pop but it’s dumb seeing these videos.

Honestly I am sick of metalheads who turn their nose to anything that doesnt sound like it comes from hell (reference to Tenacious D song Metal). I love when bands have some silly songs like Aqua - Barbie Girl playing while they are setting up because you can straight up tell who are the chill fun guys Id hang with and who are elitist twats.

Yeah so true. I love a lot of the music genres and music sub genres too and love pop. Well not mainstream pop or hip hop or rap

I didn't either, granted I don't listen to Pop but I'm sure I could point out a few like everyone knows Michael Jackson for example. But yeah I didn't know any of the ones in this video.

@@Werewolf914 I don't listen to pop either. I did in the 90's but no more.

Not sure actually, I believe the first was Lady Gaga up against Sharon den Adel, Second I think was Drake against Tony Kakko, I think the third battle was Adam Levine against Andi Deris/Michael Kiske (and Audience), I think the fourth battle was Adele against Marcello Bovio, I think the fifth was Selena Gomez up against Elyze Ryd, I think the sixth and final battle was between Rihanna and Noora Louhimo. I include the metal side names, even though they were actually posted in the video, as a reference point.

I recognise them when they mime. And Rhiannon's think that's her 🤣 why two drum kits ffs. This ain't Adam And The Ants 🤣 Metal Rules 🎸🤘🎤

Nah same, we just have good taste

Throw Marko Hiealta in there, too. He has had Tarja, Anette, and Floor with him. He shines on his own.

Jonne Jarvela too

bro are you kidding ?? you send god to fight an ant . .???

He can’t even talk properly without sounding like he’s having an aneurysm

you and all intelectual people out there feel the same . .

He can sing if he stays in his rangem, but he's clearly known for rapping anyways lol

I hate Drake but in his defense he is a rapper and not a singer.

He once said, that he was the best rockstar, does anyone still remember that?

There's a big debate about Amy lee singing metal. I will try to include evanescence in a future video.

@@metalground212 I mean hard rock is just as good🖤

@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 amen to that. Hard rock is majority of what I listen to and they have some amazing singers as well.

@@fueledbypaintwater exactly, Lzzy Hale is just ✨chefs kiss✨

@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 can I get a, can I get an Amen?

Sorry that bust your pop bubble... but reality hits hard...

@@heavymetal116 your username already exposed your bias lol. It can be nice trying to be objective every once in a while. OP had a great point and you overlooked it

@@LBK978 you're right I'm biased...but biased towards good quality...and the results are clear and obvious... if you want to be a stooge and turn a blind eye by being a fanboy... go ahead..

True but many of the good ones are dead or retired already

@@heavymetal116 I'm a metalhead too but he's telling the true, there are many good pop singers, the last majority however are from earlier decades. Or are you going to say that Whitney Houston, didn't have quality? There are many respectable pop singers even though the genre is currently pretty weak in comparison. This coming from someone who doesn't like pop.

One of my favorite

Awiwis

Eso es son mejores artistas los otros no son ni cantantes

Larga vida

Viva! Viva o metal! |,,| 😁 |,,|

I do! Lol

@Shashwat mishra If you think metal is not appealing to other styles you are missing out my friend. You can find, viking, battle, gothic, symphonic, power, trash, death, black, New, Oriental, Folk, Electronic, Industrial, even christian Metal just to mention a few. Bands like Amaranthe even mix some pop sounds. Do you know them?. They are really good and they have become very popular over the last few years but if you don't know them is because they probably don't have the recognition and attention they deserve. You will never hear them on the radio at least here in America. I stead we are forced to hear the same 10 crappy songs by billie elisha and lady gaga. My point here is fcku mainstream and support real talented artist whatever style or music they produce.

@Shashwat mishra Without talent, there will be no industry plants.

Thanks I will definitely consider them for a future video

Agreed another angel sent to entertain us with metal 🤟👍

It would be nice to see them in a separate, mostly-male comparison video, agreed. Still nice to see that there's lotsa female metalers that I never knew.

sound of silence is great, but it’s a pop cover and the tv production team slapped a ton of autotune on it...

Disturbed don't play metal, they're a pop band so they'd be on the other side.😂

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

Yes! I don't even know who half of the popsingers are 😅

I like both but I don't feel the need to pretend that pop singers are well, popular because they can sing so well or compose good music. It's a shitty industry and no matter what people like, that should be acknowledged.

@@Kuroo21 me neither

Sharon is probably my favorite voice next to Tarja's.

On my Mount Olympus are Floor Jansen, Tarja and Sharon, then already down on earth are the mortals

Ok, ok!, Yes, there is a case where a Pop singer sang and broke the Giant of Symphonic Metal, the incredible and amazing case of Emma Heesters singing “Strong” of After Forever to none other than Floor Jansen in the TV show Beste Zangers., this episode is in youtube

@@TheWatcherofsky Strong is not even a metal song, it's a pop ballad of a metal band, but the sound of Strong is not different from pop ballads of pop artists.

@@adriantorresrodriguez4208 por supuesto que hay Baladas del Heavy Metal, tomemos el ejemplo de Strong de After Forever (canción escrita por Floor inspirada y dedicada a su mamá que padece una enfermedad crónica), donde el estilo de la canción lo definen el ambiente y entorno compuesto por el sonido clásico distorsionado y alto de las guitarras y el tono fuerte, potente y agresivo de la voz de Floor en especial en los coros finales, lo que hizo Emma fue transformar de canción balada metal a su estilo canción Balada Pop pero haciéndolo de una manera magistral como nunca había visto contrastando las guitarras con sonidos orquestales haciéndolo más melódico y la voz suavizándola pero adornándola con múltiples recursos vocales dándole un toque muy melódico y con una capacidad de interpretación y transmision de la melodía tan tremenda y perfecta que puso a llorar a Floor y a todo el mundo a mitad de la canción, calificada sinceramente por ella misma como una versión poderosa callandole la boca (me incluyo) a todos los detractores (la mayoría seguidores de Floor) que se burlaban de ella por ser cantante Pop. Mi punto de vista, saludos!

I instantly fell in love with noora's voice the second I first heard it.

Was going to say the same. It’s also important to realize that you can’t always compare two artists from different genres. Singing is a very complex art. Everybody has their own style, develop their own techniques, and add’s their own thing to it. I mean, realistically as long as you’re not horrifically bad, who’s the better singer is subjective to the listener. While it’s true that pop artists generally don’t even sing their own music, there are still some that are great singers behind all of the editing but even that is beside the point. People who listen to pop aren’t really concerned with the technicality of vocals and instruments like most people who listen to metal are. Most people who listen to pop aren’t musically inclined either, which is fine. There are more people that I know that are musically inclined that listen to metal than any other mainstream genre. But at the end of the day, you listen to what you listen to and you enjoy what you like.

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate your feedback but as the creator of this content I disagree with some of your points. Thanks for expressing your opinion I might create a different compilation with other artists, showing other aspects of that music. I will keep this series as they are as they seam to entertain a lot of people. Thanks.

Even on their live or stadium metal singer still slayed. No pop artist dare to go without autotune...

Yeah, I have no idea who most of the pop singers were. I recognized Drake and Rihanna, but that's about it.

Its not exactly about their fails, its judt that the whole POP "artists" thongy is not actually correct. They are just not artists. Prove me wrong

I agree with point 2 as I have no idea who most of the pop singers are. Edit: (I wouldn't know some of metal as well.)

So... she had a warm up and went to karaoke? :3

Black Metal Just embrace your darkness.

It’s up to The KZfaqr to upload whatever he/she wants,, it’s up to the viewer if they like that or not, From what I can see it’s fair to show how much better metal artist are in every way compared against the pop ones. There’s still some good pop artist of course.

@@cooltechnician Either way I'm free to say whatever I want to say. I do not find anything wrong on criticizing somene who criticize. In short, crystal bones generation.

@Shashwat mishra I meant really from an influential standpoint and how they went that direction.

Right, it's not just the power, it's the dynamics. Pop artists just have a narrow range of speed and colourings they can apply.

Nah, Gods are not allowed in these fights

@@raiden538 oh so that explains why Ronnie James dio isn’t in these videos

Same here ahahaha. Watching with one eye closed. 😂

Elize Ryd!! Obviously 😂

Sorry that one broke your bubble... but reality hits hard...

Thanx, I was just about two write that. Every artist's voice gives up from time to time, you never know who many performances they have had in a row.

@Roberto Mendes Just because YOUR taste is not pop music, it`s not all crap. THAT is dumb... I`m not a pop-fan at all, but I have the balls to say that even some of the artists are really good- although it`s not what I personally like

Pop artist sometimes are better than this? Really?

no,pop artists just suck

@Roberto Mendes Poor you. You Don`t listen, you don`t read properly... Calm down. You understand nothing about personal taste at all...

We have Floor, Tarja, and Sharon. We win hands down with just those three, let alone all the other incredible metal singers.

Sharon is THE BEST! I know I've already said that a billion times. But Within Temptation is my number one favorite band. Sorry for saying it... Again...

@@Stygric I love those singers. If they competed against Sarah Brightman it would be an interesting competition, though.

@@J.PC.Designs IIRC she used to sing in a Led Zeppelin cover band, so she was kind of a rock singer before she went pop.

@@J.PC.Designs Do you mean Omega Alive?

@@J.PC.Designs Oh yes, Epica did a livestreaming concert called Omega Alive. It was livestream event.

Say that to Whitney Houston, just kidding 😂🤣👏

Oilalala Bla no I agree, she really messed up her voice. And it’s not like I don’t have vocal damage, but in rock music that doesn’t really matter to us, in pop however it does.

@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 oh yeah! I really forgot that she did, but It was using drugs and using cigarrets. And Im no professional in singing, but It really seems like most of them don't care to study and some just dont care If they are using the right way to create a diferent sound(like Christina Aguilera)

Oilalala Bla exactly. I’m not judgemental when it comes to people’s voice, but I just want people staying safe. Especially if they’re vocal style is meant to be smooth
