Good grief ppl! The dude just posted a video featuring their range! He said in the description, it is not a true battle. Regardless of their different style and skill, it is still impressive. Yes, David slides into his notes a lot, but that could be part of his style too. Of course Pavarotti is one of the very best!!! Goes without saying! Nevertheless, they both sang Nessun Dorma. Did anyone catch that? ;-)

BassoProfundo20 its about comparing the clarity and purity of the notes not the styles in which they're sang. David Phelps might not be an opera singer like Pavarotti was but he is an excellent pop voice Tenor just as the likes of Freddie Mercury and Roy Orbison sang in the tenor register but where popular / contemporary style singers.

Pavarotti is still overall the better technician IMO (especially considering the lower ranges), which is unsurprising since we use western classical as the standard for analyzing vocal technique, and Pavarotti is one of the best classical vocalists ever (regardless of fach). But Phelps is also exceptionally skilled technically (especially for a non-classical vocalist) and as I had said in the previous video, his use of dynamics (crescendo/decrescendo, changing the weight of his mix to emote) is something that sets him apart from classical tenors like Pavarotti who're sometimes bound in the confines of the score. In the end it's mostly personal preference, whether you prefer a low or a neutral larynx, massive projection or better dynamic control, a heavier tone or a slightly lighter one, etc.

Rafael Araújo Interestingly enough I was having a discussion about David's low notes with someone just a few days ago. I could vaguely recall him supporting a C#3, but I could only find Eb3+ supported notes for him. He sometimes goes a bit airy below E3-F3. Whilr Pavarotti stays in the 4th octave most of the time, he is still a bit more consistent in the 3rd octave compared to David.
@absdyna7 жыл бұрын
Projection does not negate control of dynamics. Pavarotti was not known for his wonderful control of dyamics, (which is not to say that he lacked control of dynamics, just that he could've, should've been better, and I guess in his youth, he was) but every classical vocalist worth their salt are experts at controlling dynamics. I've even seen this in action. In my choir/chorus, the tenors had to sing an Ab for 7 measures. Most people could barely hit the note, let alone sustain it that long, on top of that, the score had marked that section as pianissimo. All of us resorted to falsetto, except the one conservatory tenor ( a spinto if you're wondering), who took the note very soft and sweet, with wonderful control. He could be heard over the whole choir, but it was also the softest, floatiest Ab you'd ever heard. Just because you could hear him over all of us, doesn't mean he was loudly belting it out. It's hard to explain, but he just floated the note on top of all the accompaniment and everyone. So, no, the right technique is not 'personal preference', it's the right technique.

All of classical concerts which perform in a stadium must use mike and amplifier for singers and orchestra.

@lovestoryim6 жыл бұрын
ELIAS.A.B.C_YT you were right but not enough. It is also because of the structure of the stadium or concert hall can't make the echo as in the Opera house, so that the resonance opera singers make themselve can help enough without mikes. The places the contemporary singers like Phelp perform are usually bigger than an normal Opera house and the structure of them aren't for making echo, not to mention the audiences of Opera always keep quiet while contemporary music audiences usually acclaim, yell, scream during the performances. The volume of a electric guitar/bass can bigger than dozens of strings, one drumkit can be as big as the whole percussion... So I think people shouldn't underestimate the singers who have good technique as Phelp. Opera singers like Pavarotti are so great but it doesn't mean that he can sing well with other genre, and making good resonance isn't everything. There are things that you can't nail if you sing with an Opera sound.

@nthdegree12696 жыл бұрын
lovestoryim, You again are misinformed. Opera houses are made to be acoustical friendly, however, the Opera singer must sing against other voices and an orchestra. Another thing you leave out is that Opera is not just simply "OPERA" there are different types of Opera for different sizes of voice. For example, a leggerio tenor sings lighter material, and against much less orchestration. Most trained singers can sing at this level of volume. Pavarotti, go into the larger pieces of Opera and even still he didn't do the largest pieces like Otello. Most modern singers who sing with Microphones are relying on "MONITORS" to help them sing against other guitars and drums and it makes it a lot easier. In Opera, you have no "MONITOR" and in the heavier Opera it becomes quite difficult and tiring. That is why Opera singers who engage in Heavy pieces have a much shorter term and their singing careers last shorter. Also you are repeating things that I have already proved wrong. Opera singers have sung "other styles" effectively. Just because YOU don't think so is YOUR opinion. Vitorrio Grigolo sold PLATINUM as a POP SINGER and he proves your point wrong. Also, Pavarotti himself sang with a Pop voice on his recording of Caruso. Do you know that Pavarotti sang Caruso 2 days after listening to the Song? Did you know that? He sang with a Pop voice because his daughter asked him to. Now, Pavarotti's version of Caruso is the GOLD STANDARD by which all other versions of this POP song are judged.

@nthdegree12697 жыл бұрын
Rosannasfriend, you are correct, naturally higher doesn't equal better, but Opera singers have a lot more pressure on them to perform correctly and when they do foul up, its a catatastrophe in some cases. The phrasing, and being at the mercy of a conductor in a live settting without the aid of any amplification makes it quite difficult. When you hear a pop or rock singer off microphone, the sound will be much thinner, when you hear a good opera singer off microphone, the sound is much richer and fuller with noticeable squillo /resonance. It takes years of study to achieve that.
@berniezuniga4087 жыл бұрын
I would say David has the higher voice. Pavarotti really puts a great deal of energy and spin to produce those high C's whereas David can sing them softly and crescendo into forte.

SINCE ART OF ANY KIND IS IN THE REALM OF SUBJECTIVITY, EVERYONE'S OPINION IS AS GOOD AS ANYONE'S ELSES. SO HERE'S WHAT I SAY. A TENOR WITHOUT A HIGH C5 to HIGH E5 IS NOT A TENOR BUT A BARITONE WITH HIGH NOTES, THAT IS IN GRAND OPERA ! IN 1831 A TENOR BY THE NAME OF GILBERT LOUIES-DUPREZ CHANGED THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF HOW TENORS SING THEIR HEAD NOTES AND WE'RE IN THAT MODE STILL TODAY. THIS INFO YOU CAN CHECK OUT ON UTUBE ALSO CHECK OUT A VOCAL TECHNIQUE THAT WAS USED THEN TO GET THOSE SUPER HIGH NOTES " THE PHARYNGEAL VOCAL TECHNIQUE " by TONY SILVA

There are no comparison between them.Their technique both are flawless,and it just depends on personal preference. IMHO,I think David is able to interpret more genre of music while Pav is master in opera. So why compare? Stop saying who's better it is annoying.

@Albion123457 жыл бұрын
Well let's just get this straight, David is nowhere near his prime anymore. Somewhere between 2005 and 2009 I think is when you could really start telling a difference. I'm not sure if he was abusing his voice or what exactly happened. i think he is some better than he was circa 2010 though. He does still hit high C's, but they have a lot more vibrato and you can tell he struggles for them. But if you listen to him 2006 and before, it's just absolutely amazing how he was able to hold out some of those high notes and keep them straight as an arrow (sounds like a musical instrument), then bring on the vibrato at the end. His older "Legacy of Love", "Live in Birmingham", and "O Holy Night" DVD's were all great and in all of his older Gaither videos, he hits C and C# with seemingly no problem. Fast forward to the end of these: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as-AfMxo2NvSdYk.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9J6Y8maqZbQm5c.html I'm by no means a vocal expert, but I've never heard someone sing with that kind of power. And by power I just mean how loud and awesome it sounds... very technical I know.

Luciano Pavarotti. Exclamation point! Period! I am a HUGE David Phelps fan, but I gotta say, Mr. Pavarotti has it over Mr. Phelps. Pavarotti seems effortless and breathes throughout the entire note beginning to end every time. Mr. Phelps is fantastic, but he does not breath throughout the entire note every time.

Estilos diferentes. Eu canto lírico e sei que a postura da voz faz muita diferença. Enquanto um usa a voz de cabeça com um pouco de diafragma, outro usa quase que somente o diafragma, e necessita de maior abertura vocal para colocar o peso na voz. Em termos de comparações alcançar as notas que Pavarotti alcançava impostando, com peso, e com qualidade não é tão simples. Tenho quase que certeza que se o falecido tivesse praticado o canto popular teria alcançado notas similares ou até mesmo maiores. E é isso. Abraço e que Deus abençoe a todos.

It's harder to sing a good high note in opera, than in pop music. Pavarotti high notes are perfect, execpt for a lack of squillo/ringing

No se trata de comparar los tonos agudos aislándolos del resto de la canción/aria. Es como comparar (en el deporte) saltar una valla al final de la carrera vs saltar 8 vayas antes de saltar la última. En esta metáfora, cada vaya simboliza un agudo. Y así hay estacatos, saltos de octavas, portamentos y agilidades con agudos en el transcurso de un aria. La ópera definitivamente demanda demasiado de un tenor, que quizá un cantante de música popular termine por ahogarse. Volviendo a la comparación con el deporte....Es como hacer un versus entre un deportista de élite y uno dentro de estandartes con dominios básicos. En todo momento vemos a uno cantar con el micrófono (pasa una mosca cerca y seguro se oirá por el amplificador) y al otro cantar con sus resonadores y cuerpo. Me parece una comparación dispareja y desproporcionada. Ojo que me estoy siñendo únicamente al tema técnico(tal cual lo plantea el titulo de este post). En la ópera o se canta lo que escribió el autor con infinidad de dificultades o no se canta; no hay otra opción. Es diferente a componer para un cantante en específico. Cantar un "Nessun Dorma" luego de haber cantado un acto completo (en la mitad de ls ópera), es completamente distinto a tomar el micrófono y cantar solamente esa aria. Phelps es muy bueno en el género que interpreta....pero comparar solamente los agudos no le da mucho sentido al asunto. Es mi punto de vista. Y que viva la música!

He can sing high notes,...so what whipty ding, so can I and lot's of Opera singing friends of mine can also,..,... but not one of them is Pavarotti....Never will be,........David Phelps went out on his own thinking he would take the world by storm.....He did not make it big, so back to the Gaither Vocal Band he came....Pavarotti, on the other hand is world renowned, with such an amazing voice I actually get goose bumps....He will, forever be #1...
