Excellent, excellent video, my friend. The quality and the examples are outstanding. I think the U47 fit the style of the first example (and is one of my favorite mics ever), but the 251 is definitely the choice for more pop style music.

The U47 suits better your voice and style of singing on the first demo. That 251 was somehow edgy in the highs which surprised me. It mad your louder parts sound too "screaming". I would have liked to hear it without and EQ as well.

Hey Christian. Nice comparison. I'm considering a GA-47, but deciding between that, a Neumann U89 (warmer than the 87), or a Telefunken TF51. I feel these would be in the same ballpark, with the Telefunken perhaps being a little brighter. Do you have any experience with those others?

this wont be a very popular opinion amongst enthusiasts, but the microphone market remains heavily propped up by the guardians of the past. in a mix, which is the use case and context all of these would be used in, no one could tell the difference between a $1200 microphone and a $8600 microphone. Or, a $400 microphone vs. a $1200 one. think about how true this statement is as a reason to understand my point: for $0, you can't record anything. for $100, you can record everything.. but at the sacrifice of build and sound quality, at $400, you can record everything with little to no sacrifice... after that, we are splitting hairs.. for absorbent amts of money. 20x the cost of a $400 mic, for some microphones. are you getting 20x the performance? edit: subbed :)
