[@MusicIIV]

he's basically perfected straining his voice. Total opposite of an insult. Its extremely impressive seeing the strained notes hit nearly perfectly in tune, considering how much hes had to push his voice to get to the point of reaching the note. This man also shows that you can strain your voice and sound amazing and powerful, contrary to traditional singing rules frowning upon it.

[@santiagorosas354]

Yes. But it's clearly not healthy, and that's the issue. But he could add distorsión without straining in an unhealthy way.

[@Eballz713]

I think it's just frowned upon cause it's bad for your voice long term
