Can we just appreciate how Halsey sounds exactly like she does in the studio version of her songs???

[@ecaicaro3297]

yes

I love Kelseas husky voice in combination with the "high-pitched" voice of Halsey. Cant get enough of this duet!

[@NoelleCanty]

Yeah, I think halseys voice is more resonant, which emphasizes the high notes. The huskiness of Kelseys voice makes it sound softer, and I think she's a bit lower in range than halsey, too. Halsey does have low songs, too

[@Golly187]

Damn right this is a brilliant pairing!! Class!

And together, they sound magical, like fairy dust to my ears but with OG miranda grit to it...

@@juliaderodriguez7656 "more" is the most personal song on manic she said so she won't perform that. But apparently I've learned that she didn't perform "You Should Be Sad" bc it wasnt out yet. If it were too personal she wouldn't have released a music video, performed it on SNL, etc. 🖤

[@katiemoyer5211]

@@kno2735 Agreed! Do you know if she performs 929 much? A few months ago I was randomly searching for her live performances and I only found one or two performances of it. I know both 929 and more are very personal songs for her and I know she said publicly that she would never perform more but i was wondering why she hadn't performed 929 much, it's probably my fav from manic.
