[@officialtrejackson_7619]

Him(im just randomly saying this even though I know none of this correct and has nothing to do with the video ) :the g6 and the falsetto sounded breathy on the second note and the larynx didn't have enough room to change so they had to come back down on the b flat and then slide up from the chest voice and that allowed enough air flow through the a sharp. So in the end it worked out well. Me: Mhm 😂 😂.

I don't know anything about this at a professional level but one thing that's really compelling is your obvious passion and knowledge. This is how I get sucked into a 15 minute video on wood carving. This is really excellent content. So unpretentious and well articulated.

belsekar ..Well said! I'm not really into these particular singers - I've never even heard of 2 of them - his professionalism, obvious passion & personality kept me interested. Plus I enjoy learning new things. Most recently, an amazing video about how armor was made for knights and their horses has become MY woodcarving video. A lot of times, an articulate video maker such as this gentleman gets me interested enough to learn more about some random subject, like antelopes of the world, the aforementioned armory-making and other wierd subjects to do further research on the various subjects.

[@emmabarnard6012]

@Porky WithAPistol But you can sing! It may not be a pleasant sound to other people, but if you love belting out a song when you're driving and you enjoy that, then you are singing. I'm rubbish at getting the right notes too, but I love singing along in the car on the way to work in the morning. It makes me happy. And that's what singing is about - making you feel something. Just because it doesn't sound good to others doesn't mean you shouldn't sing. Just maybe keep it to when you're alone!

[@billymason3698]

And also some singers start to hate performing a song that they have to sing every single time they perform and give it less than 100%.

[@juanbond85]

To add to this, I'm sure a lot of that "dodging" or not holding a note as long, etc. is just them switching it up to avoid redundance. I'm sure anyone would change how they sang a song 8+ years later.

[@Morscerta12]

And maybe they have a lot more songs left to sing in their set and are saving their voice for other difficult songs or parts.

She was singing live. She only lip sinked for one part of the song so if you wanted to not hear her sing you'd be pretty ripped off I think.

[@Zasaramel]

Yeah, if you are buying a ticket to a concert to you are paying for the " show " 95% of the time, not to have them get on stage and belt out their best renditions for 2-3 hours. Some artists have the technique and stamina to do that while on tour night after night, but it's not a common thing. And honestly, I wouldn't want that from most of the artists I follow, I want their best show performance. Like if you were to go see Pink live in concert, trust me you would want to see her dance and do her wire choreography more than if she sat on a stool and focused solely on her vocals. You'd rather have had Chester from Linkin Park to be animated charismatic while getting the crowd involved instead of just him standing under a spotlight focusing on pure vocals. When I go to a live event, I want it a little fast and loose like a party so that everyone can be unashamedly passionate and enjoy the atmosphere. I don't want it to feel like they're auditioning for the X-factor.

[@lalahfreak007]

Am I the only one who feels that dodging is preferable to attempting a note and breaking? I really do think this should be more acceptable than it is... Thank you for being so reasonable. :)

[@JC-yy8iv]

Stevie Nicks agrees with you lol. She dodges EVERYTHING and has since about 1980. She's still got more range than she uses live, she'll pull it out in a controlled environment (i.e. the studio). But you can see why she dodges if you listen to her ending on Rhiannon from the Rosebud documentary (1976) vs her attempting it in 82 on the Mirage tour. The second time she hits the high notes but they have a strained quality.

[@MsDefectiveToaster]

@@JC-yy8iv I've always thought that professional singers tend to come in 2 categories. Some, like Christina or Whitney Houston, are vocalists. She sang a bunch of songs that are mediocre but the point isn't the music, it's her talent as a singer. The other category, like Stevie Nicks or Bob Dylan, are musicians. The point of Stevie isn't that she's this phenomenal singer. It's the emotion and style she puts in a song. The difference between the categories is essentially whether or not they'd sound good singing the national anthem.☺️

[@colalightyear7859]

I dont even see the discussion at all. Try performing infront of > 1000 people trying to deliver consistent high quality performances; you cannot always practize all of your songs to ultimate perfection and might throughout the years change your style of singing so that earlier stuff becomes more difficult. I would do the same

[@AlvinaYunoa]

Ofc it is but people are stupidly greedy wanting the singers to hit the notes live to “prove that they can” I hate that. They have nothing to prove when they’ve proved themselves already

[@carr0760]

Yes. As a professional singer we often find ourselves having to make this choice on the fly. One Christmas Eve I had gotten horribly ill but was under contract to sing some church services, including O Holy Night. In the final service my voice was simply exhausted. As I was approaching the end of the piece I had the choice to attempt the optional high note on "divine" and risk sounding like a dying cat, or doing damage, or go for the safe bet and take the lower option that I had already sung multiple times during that piece. There was only one choice. Better for the listener and better for me.

[@Jimmy_Kiddo]

Best part is whe he says "G5 is not hard" and he is right

[@GeekedOutNeckbeard]

Certain times when a song is changed during a live performance, it's either the singer is exhausted from the night prior, and now has strained vocals, or they performed the song so often that they want to change it up a bit, take runs out, add high-notes etc. It adds to the song imo. For Miley's change, I think she did it cause she knows she can't reliably get to those high notes and would rather maintain a great live performance, than to kill it with 1 note. As we all know, you can perform a song great but 1 hiccup and it can derail the entire rest of the song, and make it rather bad or not memorable. Definitely was a logical change to repeat 1 verse. And tbh sounds better(even though I hate her music, and don't really think she has a great singing voice but others do, and respectably she has hit great success for multiple years.) Leona appears to have fatigue, or due to her age, might not be able to reach those notes anymore at will, and is more or less a "can I do it?" type deal and when she feels she can, she does which means she has to ad-lib high notes that she used to do flawlessly. Like muscles, the voice can get strained, damaged and therefore lose the luster it once had. It's not a shock after many years of ripping out the notes she can't reliably do it. She's still fucking amazing. And so is Christina. Somehow Christina just maintains peak performance.(albeit she chooses when and when not to use lip syncing. It saves her voice and allows her to perform the rest of her set with a healthy voice vs a now damaged and exhausted voice. It's like weight lifting, if you start off heavy you burned out, you taxed your body right off the bat and the rest of your workouts suffer.)

That or have some sevant level music theory and most important is ear training. Lots of people like this have perfect pitch hearing. Meaning they can turn there back to a piano and you can hit a key and they can turn around and hit the same key because of hearing the note played not by watching.

I'll speak as a singer myself. I've noticed a lot of the times they show these singers hitting these high notes is on things like live TV you hit those notes there, because it is impressive. Touring is a different beast, you thrive on consistency on tour. It is better to hit a note that is slightly easier to hit that you can do more consistently, than a note that if you hit that every night for two weeks would just kill your throat, and you'd lose your voice barely into a tour. Two totally different environments

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Absolutely true

[@EmperorNero]

Trust me as a singer, I learned the hard way mainly as a metal/punk singer, where you're also go from rough to sometimes oddly operatic tones. When I first played live at 16 I wanted to be Mr. Showoff. I'd hit these massive falsetto notes, that took a lot out of me. I played three shows in a row, and I could not sing correctly due to my throat being done, even throat coat didn't help. I hooked up with my music teacher actually to show me how to hit impressive notes in a live setting without taking the wind out of me.

[@amandasnider2644]

It's possible that some singers also feel like changing up a song after singing it so many times

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

They change it up because they can no longer do it the way they use too. Many singer try using the power of their voice, and it really destroys your voice. Jon Bon Jovi did it in 1986 when Slippery When Wet came out. He tried to hit all those high notes he recorded from the studio, and found it hard to do them live everytime. Afterwards he finally got a vocal coach to teach him how to actually sing. Ever since then Jon doesn't those notes anymore and allows Richie Sambora or David Bryan to sing them instead, because they are the back up singers and can hit the high parts easy.

[@ZoeRaeMusic]

CavemanJesus4Life they also change them up because it brings new interest in a show. Tom Jackson, who is an icon coach for a lot of the top acts in the world, talks about it in his book Live Music Method. This technique is common in live performances. It can also be used when a singer isn’t feeling up to par and may need to change the notes or even the entire key because they still want to put on a show even when they have a cold. There can be several reasons someone would change up their vocals in a song when they’re live. It’s not only because they can’t hit the note, but it can be. Sam even discusses this sometimes, he can tell a singer is testing their range by different things they do while singing - and if they don’t feel comfortable in one of those tests then they may change the way they approach their high note. We’re not perfect every day. Sometimes you can hit a note perfectly and two days later it’s not as comfortable, but then the next day it’s easy again. Singers are humans and humans are fallible. But anyway, my point is sometimes the change is actually pre-planned for aesthetic.

[@Syclone0044]

CavemanJesus4Life Ah wow! I love that album and was trying to think of what parts you're talking about. Here are a few off the top of my head: I'd Be There For You: "Didn't mean to miss the birthday baby, I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out......OUTTTTT!" Never Say Goodbye - one of the past Goodbyes. Not super high though. Raise Your Hands - the high scream at 3:29. But what are the others? I feel like only the first one I listed is a good example.

The chorus of Livin' on a Prayer and the verses of "Bad Medicine" are a couple of others where he either altered the vocal line for live performances or stopped singing the high parts entirely. He may not have started doing that until the 1990s, though.

[@rosiesummer2711]

CavemanJesus4Life Totally agree. I watched singers Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova from t.A.T.u sing at their recent solo concerts, both of them sang their song from their early years "Nas Ne Dogonyat/ Not Gonna Get Us" and I noticed right away they both had key changes as well as tempo and pitch. I understand for Yulia Volkova as she has damaged her voice from surgery and endless screaming. However I was surprised by Lena Katina changing the tempo and key. I know their voices have changed and they no longer have the 15 year old voices of their youth but now have matured since their in their 30s.

He explains things incredibly well! But as someone who's experience/knowledge of singing is limited to singing (terribly) in the shower, I don't necessarily know what he means with certain phrases (ex: Miley "pulling up a lot of weight," a "forward, connected sound," Leona's voice "not thinning out," notes "right below your bridge"). Those are concepts/terms I'm unfamiliar with. Obviously I was able to get the gist from the video, but for someone completely unfamiliar to voice terminology there were many phrases I didn't fully understand. I've been subscribed since I first saw this video and have watched (and loved) the rest of his vids and have absolutely learned some things.

Of course, I know which performances you found pleasant, however I detected no bias and feel you clearly and accurate articulate the characteristics of each singers’ voice.

[@Lp1GMoney]

The biggest thing the people making those videos don't seem to understand, is that in the studio you get 100 takes to do it right, live you get one chance and you can't go back. None of these sounded bad for live performances at all. Yes they could've done better, but after doing it night after night, you do what you feel comfortable with at that time. No time to redo second guessing yourself. Also, love your vids! Keep it up!

[@SpearM3064]

+Existential Toast I totally agree. Speaking from personal experience: I used to be a full-time computer programmer. At first I thought "this is my dream job". But after 6 years, I actually *dreaded* going to work, because it was the *same thing* day after day after day. I managed to get a transfer to the service & support division (same department, but we handle the physical stuff like fixing computers, setting up new computers, etc.) It's something different every day, and I'm much happier. TL;DR: If I can get tired of doing the same thing day after day, then it's a sure bet that singers (and other musicians) can get tired of it too. So it comes as no surprise when they decide to change it up a bit.

He probably says it's not hard for the following reason. When you learn how to bridge from chest to mixed/head voice, it is like going from 1st gear to 2nd. Surprisingly the hardest part is the transition between chest and mix/head, between gear changes. But once you are past the bridge, completely in 2nd gear, everything is soooooooo much easier, believe me. Demi can hit G5's in her sleep,... E5? she has to be awake.

[@greatestever184]

"It's not flat, it's still ring, it was just distorted..." your ears and knowledge is incredible. you should be at the university or music academy as a professor, passing your knowledge to others. but glad you're here, on youtube platform, otherwise I couldn't learn lots of stuff. thanks for being here. love your analysis.

He's wrong. The chord at that point of the song is Gma and she scoops to an F#5, the major seventh of the chord. That's actually fine from a theory/listening point of view but she was intending to hit a G5 there so was flat in that sense - just not really in terms of tuning. She _was_, however, actually flat on the word "wanna" - about 30-ish cents flat from a F#5 when it should've been a pitch-centered F#5 passing note to the E5. It's also worth noting though that the performance was auto-tuned/pitch corrected in post-production so who knows what her tuning was actually like

thanks for detailed explanation someday.

Thanks yo

[@debussy843]

Damn, you got absolute pitch

[@tyger2891]

I really appreciate the level of technicality you express in your videos. I've watched other vocal coaches respond to videos in an attempt to further develop my voice and they simply aren't descriptive enough. While I understand that appeals to the masses, for people with a little more vocal experience your videos are wonderful. Thank you.

Have you seen Tristan Paredes channel? He's really good at descriptive instruction.

[@tyger2891]

I would imagine he's only a joke to extremely petty and self-righteous "musicians" who think they have nothing to learn from critics...considering I do have a healthy knowledge and education in music and still appreciate his words without my ego getting in the way.

@Jennifer, are you ok?

[@sassynachnicole]

I love when you're like "No, she wasn't flat, nope". Lmao.

[@zarahjoyce5143]

I just love how he delivers his comments. It's straightforward and very fair.
