I have no experience in voice specialties, but I wonder if a person's mother tongue affects how you sing in another language. Particularly the space used for vowels. Angelina Jordan started singing in English at young age so she may not be a good example of this, but I've always wonder.
Any Lee sounds just as good live as she does in studio. That’s my opinion from watching many of her shows. In this particular performance it sounds like she didn’t warm up her voice enough or at all. I personally have to warm up my voice minimum thirty minutes to be able to hit very high, sustain the notes, and be able to get through song without losing power halfway through. I’m not sure if profesional singers warm up their voice before performances but they should.
What i love from Luis Miguel is that he sings for the song to sound better he prefer not to be pretencious about his voice. What makes his music just unic and so precious for us the one listening ❤ You can even being working listening his music 😂
You should look into some of FM's songs from the Peter Green era. Peter is often overlooked in terms of his vocal timbre. He has a soulful-sounding voice, especially on Black Magic Woman. Yes, Fleetwood Mac did the original. In comparison, the singing in Santana's version just sounds kinda meh
Mr Johnson, if you were an experienced vocal coach, you would have actually listened to the multiple genres Jacob can sing before your comments. he can sing in any style that he wants. And to pick on him in a charity raise to give an emotional performance and tell your audience he can't sing is utterly ridiculous. Go play the Christmas song, moon River snarky puppy jazz piece, the mahogany sessions series, in my room album, or the latest three or four pop songs that he's recorded and you will find that he can sing any style of music he wants and guess what, you can't ! just because you didn't like the way he sang it on this song gives you no right to criticize his capabilities. you can say this song style wasn't your thing, but to tell me his capabilities aren't there when he has some of the purest tone and range and endless genre styles that he can pull at any time he wants, your nutz.
