Long time fan, glad you’re still going strong. Your placement video remains one of the most helpful. Still feels like this is indispensable knowledge even if this was a wasted performance and you hit the nail on the head about how a wasted performance can vary from person to person!

I'm finding the more I listen to it the better it sounds to me like the familiarization process to a new song or album (it takes a few listens to "understand it" logically and emotionally) - even though it's still bad, it's weird. As if I'm seeing the positive notes of what she was trying to achieve more. It still makes me giggle in parts though. Her performance is prob a vocal coaches' dream, and I expect to see many more of these videos in the future.

You gave me amazing tutorials on screams and distortion, thank you alot! Yet i cant unsee the resemblance between you and Maria from SH2

[@voicehacks]

Interesting!! Fun side note: I did all of the screams and effort sounds for the Cybil Bennett SH character in Dead by Daylight 🤘

Another thing I suspect she was wrestling with was a live autotune. I watched another video where this performance was piped through some pitch monitoring software and it was trying to snap the performance to the lines. But yeah, aside from being drunk, I think the other thing messing her up was singing unaccompanied so that she didn't have another note to reference and if you start to deviate from your initial scale, you will find that you may start snapping to weird lines later on in the song. In addition, she seemed to take liberties with the melody where she takes it up the scale rather than down the scale or vice versa at times. Not sure how intentional this was or if she was just drunk to the point of not knowing which part of the song she was singing. The ultimate performance is from The Naked Gun though.

[@voicehacks]

Agreed! I hear some kind of chorus or pitch correction or something in these vocals

[@lennybaez541]

I thought it was originally a brass composition 📯

[@killmeister3039]

Soo… maybe I’m special but I’ve never had trouble with the national anthem I can even sing it in two octaves

[@NeededGR13F]

So what I'm taking from this is talent is beat by preparation is beat by not being smashed?

[@DeadSparko]

You should react to dimash if you havent already he is the best singer in the world!

[@voicehacks]

I have some good Dimash reactions up on the channel!

[@SueKay-rq1lr]

It’s not hard to sing. It depends on who sings it😮

[@Brittanybeautician]

I cannot watch this without getting second hand embarrassment 😩😩😩 she was worse than fergie

[@voicehacks]

It’s kinda wild tbh 😆

[@heirtoheaven]

At least Fergie stayed in tune. But turning it into a sensual jazz number was not the best idea.

[@namir4113]

Sorry, but she’s not a singer

[@Dj.MODÆO]

She is lying about the alcohol messing her up….she just can’t sing big songs like this period. None of her songs are like this, they are all like “sing-talking” She has probably used autotune for so long in the studio that she forgot her actual skill level singing live.
