Young Pop Female Singers Who Used To Sing Better! (Vocal Technique)

Title is clickbait-ish!
Please know that it is NOT a hate video, I enjoy listening to these three ladies. I want to be as objective as possible, It's only based on their vocal techniques.
Of course, there are some things they do better now but in general their techniques were better, especially when it comes to Lauren.
Enjoy!

@@merdzky098 Because it is lmao. You sound bitter. Husky, bluesy voice is sexy.

[@merdzky098]

@@carpediemearth so I'm automatically bitter because I have no right to judge someone who DELIBERATELY put herself in PUBLIC? For your information, I loved her voice the most out of the five of them until she abused tf out of it. Her "husk" is not deliberate and it's a product of her smoking, straining, and just her vocal bad habits in general. Husky =/= bluesy =/= sexy. You're trying to make a relationship between three concepts that doesn't necessarily connect with each other. It's an outlier, sure, but it's not the rule. Don't respond to me with petty, juvenile responses when you're so disillusioned by her "talent"

[@Noxtrust]

I think with Perrie it is a mix between vocal exhaustion and vocal decline from a poor technique. LM had 3 tours last year. In the span of a year! There are off moments where she does hit the notes with more ease throughout that span but when she’s overworked you hear her voice struggle a lot more. Even Jade had to self admittedly lip a whole show because she was medically not allowed to perform. Perrie used to always try to aim for more difficult note but now her and the other girls especially Jade and Leigh change up the vocals so they can still hit the notes just different ones. I’m hoping in LM5 they come back more refreshed.

[@avantikaroy5146]

Becky T omg same I'm praying that they get rest and refresh their vocals. Also I'm sooo excited for LM5 like I can't wait.

[@avantikaroy5146]

Bronwyn It's not that I badly want them or literaly torturing them to realese an album. Since they've announced that they are going to do so ,as a devoted fan I have the right to get excited at any of their activities they initiate. Ofcourse I want the girls to take rest and refresh as I mentioned before. But since they have announced this, you say I can't even be excited for the new songs or the era basically they are yet to gonna show us? Um ..I totally can be. And nowhere in hell that I've mentioned that I want them to release it just now or am pushing it anyhow, just being "excited" for something dosen't mean to push and forcefully take it. I'm happy at whatever they're doing or wanna do in near future cuz I'll support them in whatever they do so since they've announced this and are working hard for this, I'll support and be excited for their next era and for their effort that they put in. Peace.

[@Noxtrust]

Bronwyn oh I totally agree with you. They’re the hardest working artists right now. So many artists take literal years to release new music. Adele, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Ariana, Lady Gaga, Demi, Rihanna....I don’t know if it’s the label pushing them really hard or if it’s the girls who desperately want to break into America. And feel they need to strike when the oil is hot because they are growing bigger by the day. They’re management makes really poor decisions when it comes to touring. They work them to the bone but insist on them doing UK tours instead of world tours. The UK already loves them! They need to tour new places. They need to tour North America, not vocally exhaust themselves to the same crowds multiple times a year. As a fan I’d love to have new music but I also want them to have a lengthy career so if that means waiting another year, I’d rather do that.

[@Noxtrust]

Bronwyn oh my god yes! You’re speaking my language. And it’s not even that they wouldn’t sell out venues here. They’re album is sitting at roughly over 1.1 million copies sold last time I checked. To put it in perspective (not trying to be shady) but FH sold just under 60,000 for their last album as a four piece. Little Mix literally double their own sales in a matter of a year! They’re blowing up all over. That’s why I think the management keeps pushing them. They’re money makers despite people thinking they’re not known. They’re all young women now, they need some North American media push. An award show of two and of course a lengthy break so that they can relax. I wish they wouldn’t have toured this summer, just focused on resting. I’ve also heard theories that LM is in a 5 album deal with syco and the girls want to rush it so they can sign somewhere else. Don’t know how much truth there is to that.

[@Noxtrust]

Bronwyn no worries about the essay! I could talk about their shifty management all day. I think the majority of their fans feel the same. And I totally feel you, they need substantial, creditable exposure and success. It’s interesting to note that One Direction was also in the same boat as LM and FH. They came out with 5 albums in the matter of 7 years. It’s insane to think about. And I’m wondering if maybe their label (all of them signed to Sony/syco) feel the need to really milk them for what they’re worth because they fear they’ll eventually want to pursue solo careers. I don’t see that happening with Little Mix for a few more years. I think they genuinely love the group and want to reach global success before that could happen. FH definitely experienced wide spread success but it didn’t last long. They had a few bits that were super successful but eventually couldn’t deliver anything else of the same magnitude. Whereas LM I feel keep rolling with the punches and steadily gaining which is a good thing because it means they’re constantly improving their craft. We need a Frozen or a Crazy In Love!!!

Ariana Jauregui She definitely improved this era compared to her vocals of 2015/2016 but her voice is still very raspy due to smoking and she can barely belt without strain which is really sad because she had a lot of potential to belt back in 2012/2013

The person who created this video must be very educated. Never knew there was so much art to singing. All of these would've seemed great to me without facts because I couldn't sing if my life depended on it.

[@beanz5683]

My baby Perrie just needs a long rest because Syco overwork her and the rest of the girls of Little Mix with Tours. Poor lauren her voice sounded very powerful and clean. I love her raspy voice in lower and middle tone, but sometimes when I hear her sing high notes with tension, throatiness and raspy sound, my throat hurts...

[@eamcbmsc]

BEANZ I agree with you about Perrie. They should give Leigh Anne some of her belts and give Jade some of her runs in order take some of the stress off her voice. They did 3 tours within a year and a half, Perrie needs to rest a little on the next album. She'll already have to do troublesome notes from previous hits like lightening and shout to my ex on the lm5 tour. I think as a group they need to have a convo with the label and Perrie needs say "if you want me to do lm5, lm6, and lm7 there will have to be cuts to the amount of performance or I have to lower the amount of strain I'm under."

[@yas1499]

eamcbmsc but Jade's voice is getting pretty bad as well. Remember the Glory days the poor girl lost her voice twice, almost 3 times, all the girls need extreme vocal rest, they sounded so horrible towards the end of the tour and not only did they do 3 tours in a year and a half but they also two to three shows on the same day for some of them. No artist should go through that much strain period. But yes Perrie needs some extensive vocal rest and the girls should focus on their vocal lessons more

[@eamcbmsc]

yas 14 My girl? I don’t like jade anymore than the rest of the girls. The reason I pointed out Perrie is because perrie was in this video, but I do think that perrie’s voice has been the most effected by this touring schedule. At this point, I still believe the problems are reversible, but it doesn’t look like the rest she needs is going to happen. At one point during the tour, jade’s voice was being hammered so she decided to change some of her high notes. Because of the way little mix arranges parts, perrie has most of the crowd pleaser moments so instead of rearranging the song slightly Perrie tried to push through; which, isn’t the best decision. Even with her decline, Perrie is still one of the best pop vocalist. What I’m trying to say is that if she continues on this road there won’t be a lm6. Even leigh Anne learned to dodge notes later in the tour, although she didn’t do it quite as well as jade. Perrie needs to find ways to rest in songs if they are going to perform like they did for glory days.

[@yas1499]

umm why did you say my girl? I wasn't saying you liked Jade more than the other girls, I was simply stating that all the girls have had extensive vocal damage. I agree with what ur saying about Perrie needing to learn how to dodge notes better

[@eamcbmsc]

yas 14 you did say my girl. Before you edited your comment it said “your poor girl lost her voice twice, almost 3 times, all the girls...” Hopefully everything will work out for the girls. I’m looking forward to lm5.

Little Mix Forever no babe what you aren’t understanding is that Lm5 is an album, an album that has production and sounds altered for it to sound perfect,as in auto tune and other factors that alter the singers voices not to sound so rough and natural. Little mix on tour sound beautiful but they don’t sound like they do on an album because they’re voices aren’t manufactured like in the album, as in no auto tuned. They aren’t perfect but they do sing amazing. What you don’t seem to be comprehending is that an album song while a live song are two totally different key points to an artist.

I think demi is working on bringing back the resonance. She supports consistently C#5 and some D5s this tour. She's improving day by day.

Eduard Gil she's literally just not. She still drops support on some Bb4's in Confident, no way she has C#5, barely C5 right now.

[@markowsky_01]

The only one reasons why she's dropping support in Bb4 - C5 area is because she's adding this terrible treomolo/vibrato

Nah it's due to her singing using her throat

I said before that Demi is currently in her prime but I revogue that statement strongly lol she regressed with support and resonance, vibrato, tone and gained a terrible nasality through her whole 5th octave

[@blogistuff4383]

André Tostes I will still say she's in her prime .....if she declines terribly at the end of the tour ....HWGA will be her prime ....but for now it's still Tell me you love me....cause she is getting almost consistent with C#5s in support like HWGA era ....also in that Era she couldn't support D5s .....she can now .....very rarely ....but she's never been able to do that

[@neszy3814]

blogistuff she is not consistent with C#5s and she haven't supported any D5 at all

NES ZY She did support once in Make a Wave but that was like 2009 lol the D5 in Father was close, but not really supported

blogistuff She’s not even nearly consistent on C#5s. She supports almost every concert but if you compare how many C#5s she sings and how many C#5s she genuinely supports (which is like 1 or 2 every concert), you’ll see she still has a long way to go

I honestly miss Perrie's vocals from 2011-2014. She used to sing with so much ease and like it was nothing to her, but now it sounds like she's straining for the high notes. I hope she takes a break to regroup and get lots of rest. I really dont want her to lose or damage her voice. Her voice is so amazing.

[@RonnieStewartJr]

Demi’s lower chest register used to be stronger, but her technique past a C#5 (sometimes D5) was absolutely terrible. I think the Confident era had the perfect mix of healthy belting and a strong mix, but her lack of head voice prevented her from more of heady mix. Technically, she’s in her prime. Sonically, I think she shined in the Confident era. A lot of people like her light tone from the Unbroken Era, but after hearing her natural tone from these more recent eras, it sounds so fake and unhealthy. Not a hate comment, just my opinion, I agree with a lot of what you said. Love your videos. 😊

[@s.ellejay9854]

I love how you analysed their voices' technique so deeply and detailed, it makes me appreciate more of their voices. Keep it up a good work!

I miss Perrie's Salute voice....Like I love her a lot but her vocals are so strained in the Glory Days tour especially in Nobody Like You...when I heard the love performance I was totally shocked... The tone is still pretty, still beuatiful lows even better head voice but worse belts.... Mostly what she does is belting so that must be extremely bad for her vocal chords...

[@tshaibrown]

[@mohamadfirdausbinmat2577]

The best thing about Perrie's vocals and techniques' change since Salute era was that her tone has become more polished and womanly compared to how overly powerful her tone was before 2013 but the massive amounts of concerts and tours really does caused her voice to deteriote. I agree that since she needs to handle a lot of challenging belts in LM's songs, compared to the other members, requires her to always be in a tip top condition vocally but that is what Perrie ain't able to get, in fact what all of the members cannot get sufficiently especially at this moment. I do admit that i can't contain my anticipation for LM5 but i think i can comprehend it if they decide to take some time off for themselves a month or two before coming out with the lead single of the record and embrace the stage again 😌

[@crlthchrstms]

best video I have ever seen regarding Demi's technique. Good job

[@gyccowrites]

Lauren should have gotton through solo. She was the only one back then who didnt need a group

[@Scanned]

I think Demi is still figuring it out. I wouldn't say that OVERALL she's regressed. She has dropped in her consistent support. I do think that the ease and strides she's taken in notes above C#5 in comparison to the 2008-2013 era is great. Her head register has grown more consistent as well. It's all a draw to me. She's definitely been regressive in her consistent support though.

I don’t think Demi will ever be able to go back and have the voice she had in Unbroken era. She got sick SO MANY TIMES after Unbroken, had to take off her tonsils, 2014 was such a dark and bad year for her and i think, somehow, she hurt her voice. From 2015 to now she really got better but her voice is hurt enough to not be able to go back at unbroken era. A funny thing is: Perrie also had to take off her tonsils! So maybe thats a thing? In Lauren’s case, she smokes A LOT of weed (she once was arrested in Brazil cuz it’s illegal here lol) and 5H used to do so many shows maybe she overused her voice. Anyway even knowing it’s wrong i love her raspy/airy voice. Great video. Xx

[@deveshadhikari716]

I came to the comment section right after Demi. I think Demi was really tired from the touring and all otherwise her supported range has been consistent with improved techniques too. Her runs are improved(She controls her runs with those cute finger movements) and she has gained ease without any loss of support. She has also started to support D5 in "Father" in many of her performances. I think it's not fair to say her technique has gone down.

[@ceciliacabrini]

I miss Demi's old voice. And she was actually sober during the performances in this video. She got sober the day after her performance on the American Idol in the beginning of the year, her tour was later. She always sounds like she's struggling to hit the notes now, not even only the high ones.

Great video, your channel is amazing!!!! I am glad someone finally pointed out Demi's regression, few know that she lost her resonance in 2013/2014 due to her pushy mix and closed throat. And yes, that means all of the "For You" C5s are just a combination of reverb and great projection.

[@omgmo854]

Fabian Fans also she lowered her larynx and used a chesty mix in For You

[@FabianFans]

Arthur Mendes She pretty much always uses an overly chesty mix nowadays, yes. I don't know how I feel about her low larynx, since lowering your larynx on belts is actually a classical technique employed by opera singers to maximize projection and resonance. But with her, it doesn't seem like she truly mastered low larynx belting, so it comes out messy quite often.

blogistuff exactly my point. Her support may have declined, but mixed voice is part of technique. She did improve and the fact she wasn’t sober in 2012 makes me feel like it’s not actually a fair comparison.

[@raebrown492]

Demi isn’t even lacking support, and if we are being honest cell phone videos are almost an impossible way to truly understand vocal technique, because of the amount of distortion they have on the voice. The creator of the video talked about resonance, but I’m not even sure they actually understand what all that entails. Demi has pretty good resonance in the middle and upper part of her full voice. And some of the videos attempting to support this no resonance claim have a normal performance vs a performance where the microphone clearly has an equalizer, as well as more distortion and reverb. I can understand a little bit about Lauren, but even she doesn’t sound that bad.
