Look I'm a metal fan, not a huge pop fan, but this video isn't fair. All of these artists are good and talented, but they all have different strengths. It's not like your comparing apples to apples. All of the pop musicians that you show have proven to be strong live performers just like the metal performers. Most of these metal performers are classically trained, which pop singers don't tend to have. It doesn't make them less then, it just gives them a different sound and that doesn't make them bad. We really need to stop pitting women against women in the music industry. It doesn't prove anything.

Because most metal music, in wild ways, is just classical music with electricity. It follows that vocal stylings, range, writing, thematics, and musical arrangement would be largely the same. Fleshgod Apocalypse, WinterSun, and so many more are perfect examples.

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

[@jasonedward6993]

@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 possibly. I gave examples which suited my biases, naturally. In terms of thematics/lyrical content, a lot of what Immortal does isn't far off from what Wagner did; in terms of symphonic, early Abigail Williams would be right up there with the whole package; hell, even add some Cradle of Filth if you can stomach Dani's midget cocaine shrieking(I can, but know it's not for everyone). Åkerfeldt is another example of great writing, thematics, transition, and classical training made even more stark between Opeth and Bloodbath. I guess the overall point, is that there's just a better command and appreciation for music overall. Besides, one cannot deny that WinterSun is just electric Tchaikovsky in more ways than not.

Ok, you want non operatic training, you’ve got it, Ann and Nancy Wilson “covering” Led Zeppelin’s stairway to heaven with Jason Bonom filling in for his father “and Led Zeppelin sitting in the audience with tears in their eyes because of how good the tribute was. Metal and rock is just better because you feel it, in your soul, pop you don’t.

[@Werdiknight]

No, because there are undisputably some singers in the metal genre that just blow at least at lot if not most of those pop singers out of the water. Really, give Floor Jansen ANY kind of song and most of those mainstream popsingers won't ever see the light of day again... and I am not even talking about those popsingers trying to sing rock, metal or classical.

second I seen Katty Perry "Roar" I had either Tatiana from Jinjer or Alise from Arch Enemy on mind

[@MarcosNaceli]

1) You can't compare because both styles aim for different purposes. Since both want to reach different kinds of publics, they aim for different details in voices, music (and performances). 2) You can always find live performances that sound better/worse of any artist. e.g.: It's well known that Simone Simons doesn't hit some notes live sometimes and you can find that with a quick search. And please, don't tell me Tarja can sing low notes and sound "normal/good" because she simply can't, at least not since ~2005 (And I'm a fan don't attack me) it's not about what someone can or can't do. It's about much more. Do you enjoy their product? Good. That's all you need to do. 3) Playback exists and pop singers are not the only ones who use it. I've seen Tony Kakko and Tarja live playbacking and screwing it up. Does it mean we should hate them? Answer that yourselves. Is it about being virtuous? Because we can make a video about opera/bel canto singers humilliating metal singers with their own perspective of "perfection". In conclusion, enjoy what you listen to, let others enjoy what they listen to. And if you will, start listening to things other than metal, whatever it is. Try finding what you may consider "good artists". You may surprise yourself

[@sylvain7453]

Wow the difference between Lady Gaga and Floor Jansen !!

[@LadySeraphineCC]

There's plenty of reasons why Metal isn't accepted in main stream. One of the reasons and I like to believe is this, personally. It's because pop artists know that deep down that they can't compete worth shit against these talented vocalists. Sure Ariana can hit high notes but it's nothing like Simone Simmons or Tarja. Plus Ari sounds nasally as hell. Beyonce though, I'll give her that. She's gifted but I still think she isn't up to par with Metal.

[@devox3291]

America elitists have been pushing pop over rock here in the USA for decades. Rock promotes, creativity, individuality, expressiveness and true artistry, most ( not all) of pop has a tendency to promote the opposite of these things. The elitists are trying in every way possible to suppress the human individual spirit. They want a society filled with mind and spirit-numbed zombie slaves.

[@zenszufi]

[@tomfarrell6290]

@diascrive you're right metal bands dont have singers they have vocalists as they are broader with their voices rather than alot of pop singers who use auto tune because they cant sing

[@Sanquinity]

@diascrive Except there ARE plenty of bands with actual singing. A very large part of metal doesn't use the "grunting" at all. Yet it's still not that widely known or accepted. So your argument for why metal isn't popular falls flat.

The Gaga vs. Floor comparison was the most "apples-to-apples" comparison of the entire video. And clearly, Floor took Gaga's own music and brought it to a higher level. Unsurprising, since Floor could pretty much destroy any vocalist on the planet. And, in the next one, Simone herself could have taken Aguilera down. Adding Floor to that one is the definition of "overkill."

[@ravenonthewindow]

Well, yes industry is biased but that doesn’t mean these singers aren’t talented or can’t sing. For instance ariana grande is a trained broadway dancer/singer/actress. I always feel like metal music should be exclusive to selected few of us who can feel and understand because you can’t expect everyone, especially the ones who are caught up by this consumerism era to “get” these songs. I know at the end I’ll be listening Nightwish in my 80s(if ever I live that long) but not an ariana grande song. These comparison videos make metalheads look pretty much loser crying teenagers.

[@Sanquinity]

@@ravenonthewindow Funny thing is, rock and metal was actually quite common on the radio here in the Netherlands in the 90's and early 2000's. But they phased that out for more American pop, R&B, and other stuff like that. And I hate that they did that. We used to have at least one radio channel that played rock/metal music. (Arrow classic rock it was called) But even that one got bought out pretty much because it was a smaller channel that couldn't afford buying a bandwidth when they decided to re-auction them a while back.

[@ravenonthewindow]

@@Sanquinity It’s the same in here, Turkey. Now non-mainstream songs are only played in alternative channels or university radios which I enjoy listening to, but most of the people consider this as marginal lol because we had the “satanic student group epidemic” in 90s (total bs, manipulations of media) and since the music they were listening was most commonly metal music, the genre has kinda demonized.

[@jeremybarker5510]

Pop music literally means popular. The more well-known an artist is, the less likely it's gonna pack a punch. Metal artists give a sense of adrenaline. At the same time, they can level the playing field with emotional power ballads. An example of this is An Ordinary Abnormality and True, both by Amaranthe. Another could be Upsidedown and One Cold Day by Lacuna Coil

[@peterjohnson9438]

When talking power ballads by Amaranthe, Amaranthine is probably the poweriest of ballads in their repertoire.

[@evavangelder4663]

I think we mostly have a difference of priorities. Metal is a genre which loves virtuosi. It loves to the most difficult singing lines, the most intricate guitar solos and that's truly what artists work towards. In pop I guess it's a lot more about the entire package, a song that many people will like, a good public image and a lot of spectacle around it. It's not about raw musical talent and years of training in pop, so that's why for me it's definitely no surprise that pop singers have no way of keeping up with metal singers

I think your need to make sure you dont confuse production value or fame with stage prescense. There's no doubt Adele, as one of the biggest artists in the world, is going to have much better production value. Also being so well known, is it the actual stage precence or the precence of someone's fame or reverence. There's a clip on KZbin where Michael Jackson pops up on stage and just does nothing for minutes. He just holds a pose. Fans go totally bonkers. Is that stage prescense or the fact he so famous his fans are hard-core. A more like for like comparison is If you compare against Adelle doing a club gig before she blew up. You will see a more like for like comparison. I'm a fan of both singers so my comment is to point out the difficulty in taking an objective view of something like stage presence.

Male/female, black/white, it doesn't matter metal vocalists are usually going to win any contest w pop singers on most merits. They have more power, they have to in order to be heard though their accompaniment. They have more control, as it's harder to really control your voice at their levels.

Do you know anything in singing to do that ? You compare artists who use their voices in different way… like chest mix in pop and then show a head mix in a lyric way … it’s not the same thing… You just want to proove yourself métal singers are the best with no argument …

[@arecos19202]

Lmao y’all don’t see it! Ariana grande could never be a metal singer as well as Adele or anyone singing pop. It’s a lot harder to make metal voices then to have a “perfect voice” just a joke comparison not trying to come for them

[@XanderShiller]

Watch her SNL sketches, she imitated some of the best vocalists in the game..like it was NOTHING. Adele has an amazing voice and lady gaga is Juilliard trained singer.. Metal will always be a part of me but I don't let it cloud my thinking.

[@iamnutty8471]

like any indirect comparision , you need to set it up like a scentific research, ir comparisonision results orentiation etc, does pop win because they sold more etc?, many singers culd perhaps have one the same song better, it makes it sounds like a 2nd place losers plea like tis!

[@metalground212]

I do not, and I don't need to be a scientist to realize how bad pop artist in general are. They sell more because they work with a whole marketing team that make them popular but yet they don't even own their music or image. They generally produce music that please the masses with two different lines on their lyrics but their content is empty only full of se*x dru*gs drama and abuse etc. They might have money but that says nothing about being successful. Pop artist are slaves of their ego and their management. See Britney spears for example I would not call her career successful when she even needs to do a lawsuit against her own father. I am sorry but the industry is full of sh*it

[@christopherkeena2825]

I need help, I’ve been trying to find the pop artist that did a metal rendition of her own song, what or who was the artist

[@emmad4308]

I'm late but Ashnikko? She did a metal version of Tantrum

[@thebestcicinmage4485]

Doja cat?

[@faithharris7173]

ASHNIKKO FT EMPLOYED TO SERVE DID HER SONG CRY AS A METAL VERSION

[@dorothydepth000]

Yup, Whitney Houston wouldn't fit your narrative at all. So convenient she's not in the video.

[@ouroborus6951]

That last one got me

[@ghostcat1960]

The only female pop singer who is good enough is Adele

[@floriankirchmayer3254]

Metal hat ganz klar bei mir den ersten Platz !!! Tarja Turunen ist nur eine von Vielen !!! ❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@janetthsarairamirez9327]

Geez I love metal and I love symphonic metal but putting Ariana Grande in a round with Tarja Turunen could consider it unfair competition and I love Tarja from NightWish ❤️. Actually both genres are wonderful and there are very good pop singers from Madonna to Adel that I really like very much. But this ranking with Sopranos like Tarja or Simone Simons is putting the major leagues against rookies 😅🤦🏻‍♀️. You have to lower 2 lines of volume to our metal ego and see how wonderful both genders bring to humanity ❤️ . After all, it is not the horrendous regeeton or his auto tune 😅😅😅😅

[@lucyheartfilia9077]

But why? Do people forget personal preference in music? Why do we pit artist against artist in attempt to make a genre more popular? Or more elite? Like who fucking cares just enjoy the music. Music isn’t meant to be compared. Like why do these videos exist still??

[@metalground212]

Nah people can listen to bad music if that's what they like. I mean that's what they do lol. I do wish metal was more popular tho that way I wouldn't need to be listening to "call me maybe" in 2021!!! I make this videos to show people what they believe to be great is not so great after all. Maybe you would give a chance to metal one of these days.

[@zekelerossignol7590]

Who's the woman in the left of the thumbnail?

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

Alissa White-Gluz

[@Magyarkhan]

Putting the world up against Floor is seriously stacking the deck. No way the world could ever measure up.

[@joeholmes142]

Says the person who can't even get the name of an adele song correct

[@ingopinkowski1091]

Well depends, what you call a pop artist or a metal artist. I give You only 3, and not only woman. Sia kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKfNgXWod7pgiq8 Vibeke Stene kzbin.info/www/bejne/naKrmqGBqcyHrbc Roy Kahn kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXi4iWh6jc6hbLs They are in my opinion outstanding and very unique😁😁

[@locksand45]

All of these singers are great, but Donald Trump beats them all, and I'm not even kidding. He did a karaoke cover of Queen of the Reich and it was better than Tate in his prime.

[@its_rampage2680]

Christina Aguilera was clearly lip syncing

[@simonslater9024]

If that was Ariana,trying Whitney Houston’s beautiful song-she failed miserably. Floor Jansen by far in first place. Then Sharon from Within temptation. Also Amy from Evanscence. All brilliant. The only musician who’s rendition of a particular song is better than the original is David’s Song if Silence by Paul Simon. David is the lead singer with heavy metal band Disturbed. Even Paul Simon gave it his thumbs up-that’s saying something. Ultimately all a gift from God! God bless all musicians.

[@NneonNTJ]

Bro why Nicki Minaj? XD

[@iowa406]

Ok. Metal wins with these pop singers. Now I'll ask you to compare to the biggest pop singers. Because they were missing here. I would like to ask you to: Cher Celin Dion Madonna Annie Lennox Mylen Farmer.

[@thebestcicinmage4485]

@Doğaç Tanrıverdi no

[@XanderShiller]

As much as I ❤ the Tarjas of the world, it's unfair to compare them to the skills of others in their respective genres (ie Adele and Grande have superhuman ranges. Grande even did SNL where she impersonated most "pop singers" in this video like it was nothing). Also, much of the symphonic power metal bands (w female vocals) often have predictable sounds/structure..(scared to try something outside their genre's "rebellious rules" so if one listens to Nightwish, they more or less have an idea of what to expect, while "pop singers" experiment with a myriad of genres and keep evolving/growing.. Looking back, I often see metal heads as somewhat close minded and will judge and bully you based on your taste. Where as pop aka "popular music" is full of risks, experiments, collaborations, moods, FUN and HUMILITY.. But behind the scenes, talent respects talent and I can imagine Brittany going out for lunch with Tarja while their fans stubbornly argue. Lady Gaga went to Juilliard so come on huh? Anyway Maynard of Tool has the greatest voice in metal so...shrug lol

Alissa White Gluz iz A Goddess ..

[@theshrivelstein7118]

How embarassing ..just like people who listen to pop should be embarassed for having such awful taste in music
