As a performer myself, we easily tend to get tired singing the same version for years that we sing it differently over the years. But that doesn't make these celebrity singers any less great. They're just giving it a different vibe. They're still rockin it. From a singer's POV.

[@ilaydaylmaz5601]

Exactly. Our voices change just like our body and mind. While we were good at one technique before, we may adapt to a new one later..

[@AminaIssakhanova]

I think it also depends on how much you perform. if it's one song you can actually put all your energy in it, but if it's a concert, it's wise to spread it evenly so that you still have voice at later songs

[@jenniwilliams3295]

Kelly has also admitted to mixing up some of her old songs cuz yeah she's kind of sick of singing them. But she most certainly still has it, in fact I would think her range has actually expanded. Didn't know this but the only time she sang A moment like This was on idol and then three other times and she's never sung it again she loathes that song. Even during her karaoke she nailed some really high notes. But listen to her album the meaning of life and pay attention in the background where she goes whistle tone in about four of the songs.

[@jenniwilliams3295]

@@ilaydaylmaz5601 there are so many factors that can go into a person's voice's changing. In the cases of people like Mariah and Axl Rose they burn themselves out their voices are destroyed. Martina McBride is one of the crushing ones for me. Her voice has always been absolutely incredible. In fact some of the best country music came out of her. However she sang through a tour with bronchitis the whole time. She didn't even have a speaking voice she's worked on getting that back but she will never be able to sing the same again. Mariah also just destroyed what was left of her voice, people keep arguing with me but that Christmas performance a couple years ago that wasn't a mistake. The Christmas special with her I think it was Ariana grande and Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson where they all went into whistle tone was pre-recorded or they just cut her mic. Because she does not have that note like the other three do.

I actually think Demi's voice has gotten better over the years. It's stronger, fuller, and somehow even more emotional. Her recent rock releases and remakes have blown me away.

[@amandahugginkiss61]

I am a classically trained soprano who has sung professionally for 20 years. I do vocal warmups and exercises regularly. But I’m much older than I used to be. It’s just harder now. I used to hit all this stuff without a warmup. Now I’m in the necessary warmup phase. That’s why these QUEENS who come out and slay it in their older years are the true talents. After all of the hormone changes women go thru, all of the pregnancies and body changes. Those women come out and slay. Those are the ones who deserve accolades. They stand the test of time and still come out and put it down for us.

I also appreciate this comment!! I’m a singer too and I beat myself up for not being able to hit the same notes I could as a younger person. You’ve made me feel so much better. Singing is something that makes me happy, so I’ll keep on doing it even if my voice has changed :)

[@sillypsyborg]

Great comment. Same for men. Depends somewhat on genetics and somewhat on the style of vocals they sing. Rock/metal/operatic singers usually experience the most fragile voices or dramatic damage to vocal cords as they age. But good technique counts for a lot. Self-care. And how long you've been singing. Some people don't even realize they're talented until they're older like you mention! Or they didn't have money or resources or role models to develop a voice. We take these singers for granted too.

[@kevinwalsh4652]

Let's face it, getting old sucks, perhaps the greatest vocalist touring presently is Lzzy Hale, night after night, slaying it vocally, she's been doing it at a high level for two decades, getting better, getting stronger...diet, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, stress, skipping daily vocal exercises, etc. Once they make it, most don't care, in his prime, no one could hit the octaves Axl Rose could, saw him last year at Fenway Park, it's just sad...and pathetic to see these geriatric fossil dinosaurs hanging on for the $$$

Its great to see that everyone in the comments are understanding of the artists' vocal maturity. Like.. singing a vocally demanding song for some years or more than 10 years will really put a strain in your voice and thats understandable and normal. Vocalists and singers are no different from athletes after all. Vocal Cords are a muscle and they have their wear and tear too. I just hate how everyone is indifferent when it comes to Mariah Carey who has sung her hits (and still does) for almost 30 years. Most of her songs are even harder than some of the songs shown here. Why cant everyone give her some slack? Her WHOLE discography is VOCALLY Demanding and i just hate that most people dont have the ame attitude everyone now has in this comment box towards her. I just wish everyone is as kind as you all are. 🥺

Speaking as a singer myself, its often the case that you may have to preserve your voice an not push it if you've a lot of performances to do, its called (holding back), then there's, Lack of sleep, Travel, Jet Lag, Cold, Flu, Acid Reflux, Asthma or having an off day and any number of medical conditions that can effect your vocal, along with the fact some voices get deeper as they get older, We are just human like everyone else, we have bad days too and your voice can even change from day to day.

what nobody mentions is that after singing for a while in succession (especially if it's a bunch of high note songs) your voice loses some range it gets "tired" in other words, it's normal for a singer to screech some songs at the end of his/her concert when the voice is tired.

[@miriamdavis2988]

I'm an armature singer and ill tell ya, some days your voice just flows and WANTS to sing but other days, no mater how much you try, it just isn't there. And voices get worn out and tired too.

My mom’s a singer and I’ve also been a singer. As a high schooler I was a first soprano and definitely couldn’t do the low notes. Now that I’m older I’m more a second soprano and I can even get lower than when I was in high school. Our voices change as we get older. And sometimes notes are cut shorter or changed because we’re either sick, or we’re trying to preserve our voices.

Keep in mind that the high notes you hear on the radio have a lot of auto tune with them. That’s why its really hard to do those insane notes live, so the fact that they do them at all shows their real talent. Just because they dodge a high note years later doesn’t mean they cant do it. They just don’t want to do it for reasons us fans might not know. Also, personally, I feel Miley and Demi have really grown as artists. They’ve gotten so good.

I love your really positive spin on this. I thought you might just be ripping into them. But you make great points. Some of these things shred their vocal cords. Maybe it was worth it when they were new, and just trying to make a name for themselves. But once they'd made it, they need to preserve themselves for longevity. I really do hate lip syncing though, personally. If your voice is dying that much then I'd rather they just do less shows, as opposed to doing shows but lip syncing through them. Also the 'dodges' are okay for me as I love hearing alternative renditions of their songs.

Kelly Clarkson is 37 years old

[@a.m.m6145]

Yeah. One's age and number of children they've given birth to have got do little to disrupt raw talent. I could see it affecting, perhaps, elasticity of the nether regions, but luckily, our vocal cords don't keep track of the number of diapers we've changed. ;) Case in point I guess.

[@ahashi1924]

@@a.m.m6145 Also, aging can affect the voice. People's regular speaking voices change as they age from 25 to 40. A singing voice also changes based on how old someone is because of the amount of singing they have done.

[@danielsonicky]

I wonder why sia not in list 🤭

[@jclaneva]

@@ahashi1924 Actually, what happens is that you lose some of the elasticity in the vocal chords, just as you do in your muscles and joints, and that loss affects the voice. That loss costs you in your range, and not just at the top. It can cost you a few notes on the bottom as well. :)

this title is so confusing. “they can’t/don’t sing anymore” but nailed it either way????? it doesn’t have to be on a high note everytime they’re singing this live. sometimes it is the artist’s technique not to sing it originally.

Thank you for pointing this fact out. I use to be able to sing all four octaves and I was 1st Soprano; but as I aged my voice has dropped and although I have dropped drop to a 2nd Sop down to a G4. There vocal exercises you can do to pull that range up again. It doesn’t mean that you can’t sing anymore… it just means you’ve gotten older.

My kudos go to the singers for coming up with a fantastic substitute which still gives us a great harmony and which allows us to enjoy the feel and sound of the song...I have certainly never listened to one of their performances and gone "oh shoot, they didn't do that like on their album or so and so previous performance" seems rude to judge them on something so minor when they give their all to entertain us...would probably change the title of this to "6 different variations of hard notes performed by artists themselves" vs "can't/don't"
