Its interesting hearing Jessie J say she's not good at soft singing. I always noticed how aggressive her vocals were. Rihanna has so much potential but she needs a vocal coach. Keke Wyatt is a vocal beast.
@@NIJEECAPRICORN23 I can't find two people who can sing "if only you knew" like her. Jennifer Hudson probably could maybe. Other than that no one else living can do it.
When she told the story for the first time, I remember her saying that David told her that Whitney was recording in the studio next door so they could have her sing All By Myself if Celine couldn't hit the note
I love that Miley is taking care of her vocals and being healthier now. So many fans always get pressed when people say that their faves need to work on their vocal technique, like if you want your fave to have longevity as a singer you'll want them to work on that technique.
I love how Brandy has inspired basically the entire industry and she’s like but I’m not Whitney I can’t hit her notes.. Brandy you are on your own level.. I love you you are the vocal Bible while Whitney still is The Voice!!!
Beyoncé not being satisfied as a singer resulted in her near perfect technique. Also, you can see in Dreamgirls that she was holding back so hard vocally 😂 She wanted to go offff
She may have a perfect technique but for some reason I've never been able to jive with her vocals. Her tone, pitch whatever you wanna call it is annoying to my ears or over hyped. Only 3 songs of hers are pleasing to my ears- "me, myself and I", ""fever" and "ring off". A handful of others I like because of the beat and production but not because of her voice.
@@sirblack1619 if you don’t hear it or see it then either a) you just don’t like her tone which is understandable bc tone is subjective or b) you don’t understand vocal technique and how amazing of a vocalist beyoncé is. whenever this woman sings, especially in her current adult voice, you’ll be hard pressed to EVER find a vocal imperfection.
Man... Jennifer Lopez just have to admit that she really is not a vocalist, critics and fans aren't hating when they say she can't sing. She's a performer not a vocalist.
I always thought she was more of a performer/dancer. The girl knows how to put on a show and that kinda covers up the fact that she isn't amazing vocally
Even though I have my favorite vocalists, I HATE hearing singers like Ciara explaining themselves. 😥 You don’t have to justify your choices or your dreams to strangers, you have a right to pursue them.
Idk why arinators get hurt so much when someone talks about Ariana's bad enunciation bc we are like, gurl... she lit knows that and she said it calm down lmao
@@irinakolosovskaya4549 I agree the Arianators can be toxic AF but we're just looking out for our queen and despite what you think of Ariana you can't deny that she's talented and is one of the best female pop artist in the industry and our generation.
@@hermy8894 exactly what I was talking about, people like you are INCREDIBLE. Who said that Ariana is a bad vocalist? Who said that she is not one of the best vocalist of this generation? Etc. The only thing that I said it is that Arinators are so hurt when someone says something about her pronunciation. We are just saying one of the bad things that she has (almost nothing bad) That's something that she knows and she always tries to get better at it. Why don't you stfu and realize that no one is attacking her or you lmao just saying facts that maybe you can explain to me!
Rihanna can actually become a vocalist if she take some vocal classes. The voice is there and if she works with her breathing technique which becomes a problem when she start to dance. Just listen to how well she sounds when she sings love on the brain.
@@montaija222 Yeah you right. She usually performs better when singing ballads like stay, diamonds, love on the brain , what now. One thing i noticed is that she used to really care about how her voice sounded pre 2010 . She experimented a lot with her voice and that was also before she started smoking. That was where she could've took more vocal lessons to kind of mature her voice and stop being nasal but instead i think after loud era she started smoking. After that she kind of didn't care how she sounded on stage most of the time. I don't know what weed does to your lungs as i have never smoked it but it sure did ruin her voice. Another thing i noticed about her is after anti her voice have become more mature and full which sounded good. I want vocalihanna on her next album.
@@elroe327 I don't think it was weed I think it was her not caring. Weed would make her more relaxed while performing which could be good. Anti was amazing though. I honestly think she got bored and done with music and wanted to focus on business like she's been for the past few years. I hope she gets back to music and slays us with some more vocalihanna moments too.
@@montaija222 yeah you might be right. She stopped caring about how she sounded instead she cared about having fun on stage. I feel like she doesn't like doing too many lives shows anymore. I just wish she takes her time this time with this album.
YESSSS MA'AM THE ICONIC CAN'T BREATHE NOTE!!! Leona's tone >> Jojo is something so special and deserves all of her success. Mariah.. Do I even need to say anything other than her name? MARIAH.
the problem with jlo is that she always claims to work very hard but it just doesn't translate into her vocal performance... either she isn't actually doing enough or should just accept that she is more of an entertainer than a singer. this might sound harsh, i just don't get why she is crying in public about it...
Plus she has a vocal coach, and I wonder why she isn't improve though😅, like what you said, she always claim to work hard and so on... I agree with you
She works very hard because she's an entertainer and business woman, she works her ass off, and what are you talking about, she has improved a lot, just watch her performance on the White House
now for the case of Mariah: i am so irritated with ppl and their narrative that "Mariah abused her voice" or "she didn't take care of it". from the interviews that we've seen, she has mentioned countless and countless of times how she takes care of her voice. she drinks a lot of tea, she refrains from speaking too much, she has to sleep more... but news flash: Mariah is also human. she's not just a voice whose instrument needs to be confined in a glass box and just gets called whenever its recording or singing time. she has the right ro drink, party, etc. and she did take care of her voice, but the jist is her voice is extremely extremely fragile mostly due to her vocal nodules. that's what causes her inconsistency. it's very light and fragile! so, can yall just stop with that bs?
The problem with Jlo is that she only uses one vocal mode, and lacks dynamics like there is not head voice, falseto, or melismas, nor deepness it’s just one color all the way, which makes it very predictable. That is why people get bored of her singing, not surprises. Her voice is not even that bad in some areas like she has potential specially her raspy voice on the high belts. She would benefit of a great dynamic vocal coach.
Jlo- Unfortunately she’s not born with that incredible unique tone. But for the music she puts out -it’s not too bad. She’s got good producers engineers and songwriters working with her
I knew Tori mentioned something about air conditioning too in her other interviews but I didn’t know the extent of it until I heard Whitney explain it. And this only made me appreciate Tori’s vocal masterpiece of a Christmas album even more than I already do 😭 She recorded it alone in her home studio in the middle of a heatwave in LA without the air conditioning on AND ended up with the best vocals of her career??? QUEEN SHIT 😭💅🏽✨
tori damn well knew that her voice wasn’t annoying 🤣 she only said that bc the interviewer weirdly asked her if she thought her voice in that particular clip was annoying (he literally went “do you think u sound annoying there?” what??) since they were talking just a few minutes before about how simon said her voice was annoying during her American Idol audition. honestly i think tori’s pretty confident and secure in her vocals but she’s just too humble about it. if anything, she’s more insecure about her guitar playing for some reason and gets more visibly excited when someone tells her she’s a good guitar player vs when they tell her she’s a good singer lmaoo
It’s funny bc the things that she’s most insecure about as an artist has nothing to do with her vocals but instead with her style, image and personality. Scooter Braun, as her manager, straight up told her what the music executives in the industry were saying about her-boring, too nice, vanilla, just a girl with her guitar she can’t do anything else etc-which ultimately set the tone for her first album. She has also spoken plenty of times about her struggle with comparing herself to other artists and admitted to thinking about singing or looking the way they do but ultimately knew that she couldn’t go through with it. What stuck with me was when she said she knew that it would be a longer route for her to “get there” if she stuck to her own style but she was content with that. I’m glad that she’s in a place now where she appreciates herself as herself ❤️
@@kinnamor8098 me too, i really do think that she’s so unique as an artist bc there really aren’t that many full-on power vocalists who popularly accompany themselves on their own instruments, particularly female vocal powerhouses who sing SOULFULLY AND play guitar. like there aren’t many like her around and i’m glad she found her style early on even before her career started picking up. there’s just something really special about tori on stage with nothing but just her two instruments-her voice and her guitar. three instruments if you wanna count her busting out a sick drum solo on her drums like she used to on some of her old tours 🤣
@Anne Day it’s interesting that you pointed out how she studies bc she def does when it comes to vocals, being classically trained and all, but as far as guitar goes, she taught herself relatively late at 15, didn’t take it seriously until she was 17-18 and plays strictly by ear. probably where that insecurity came from. that said, she’s definitely proficient and skilled enough, def beyond just beginner/intermediate level, plays a lot of jazzy chords, switches between strumming and picking within 2 seconds, comes up with her own arrangement etc. i mean she’s definitely not at H.E.R.’s level (then again who is? she’s a whole child prodigy) but she’s definitely a WAY more advanced player than say, justin bieber or something lmao. it’s just a shame that she doesn’t consider herself a good player when she certainly is. her reaction in that interview with babyface you mentioned was cute bc you could see how much it meant to her that babyface acknowledged her as not only a vocalist, but a musician as well, especially when he told her to play guitar on record instead of getting a guitarist to play it for her. just shows that he knows she’s a great player. honestly would love to see her try a guitar solo at some point bc i know she has it in her with just a little bit more practice 🥺
@Anne Day no no i understand what you mean, i was just pointing out the fact that she’s a skilled enough guitar player, but it’s just a shame that she doesn’t consider herself a good player AT ALL to the point that she doesn’t even consider herself a guitar player (which imo is pretty crazy since she’s rarely ever without her guitars lmao). that’s what i was getting at. of course she still has a long way to go before she can be called a guitar pro and she knows that since her voice is her primary instrument, i was just saying that she doesn’t give herself enough credit as a solid guitar player bc she certainly is. but just curious, which singer-guitar player do you think she’s on par with? (also cant say that im super familiar with taylor’s playing, but isn’t she a solid player as well?)
If I'm being honest, as a singer I cherish videos like this, not for any malicious reason or anything, but because it reminds me that the perfection I'm constantly trying to achieve and the insecurities I have about my voice are not a reason to give up. Bro, I never thought I'd hear any of the greats say they had insecurities or admit their flaws, but it just shows there's no reason for me to be so hard on myself and to just enjoy doing what I love.
11:00-11:30 is the attitude *every* professional singer needs to have, especially these young ones. How you take care of your voice when you're young will set you up well later in old age. It's good Miley is learning this now after having to get a surgery that was probably preventable. Jojo also had the right idea at just 15, talking about wanting to get a vocal coach to improve her craft.
I’m SO glad Gaga decided to do Cheek to Cheek with Tony. It would’ve been a crime to have been deprived of hearing how good her vocals are. I applaud her versatility so much.
This comforts me cuz I tend to be very perfectionist when it comes to my singing. Like I have to remind myself, "I am a human, singer in the training. They have been where I am, they also not perfect they are humans"
I love Ciara!! I just wish she knew she doesn’t have to be a powerhouse vocalist to know she’s that girl. I even love her ballads so much she had her own lane.
@@aubrey_reignz5484 is that supposed to be a drag ? lmaooo Katy destroys Ciara vocally and she’s actually a great live singer unlike that girl who lip syncs to mediocre vocals everyday
I am glad to see Whitney speak on how AC affects the voice. Aretha had that in her contact that the AC could not be on when she was performing. Diva's 98 came close to her not performing on it because of that. I use to sing a two choirs as a featured soloist, I had that experience with the AC on and my throat dried out. Also JLo no one sings like Aretha Franklin. That is why she is a singers, singer!
It's keke saying "I use to hit the Mariah notes & HIGHER" for me lol damn girl you can't be the best at everything. Not many can really go higher than Mariah and sound good at the same time lol
I wanna know exactly what notes she was talking about because Mariahs whistles are in the seventh octave and it’s physically impossible for humans to produce a note past a C8
@@granolaandgritshomestead1127 True & agree with you. However, Georgia hitting a G10 isn't even technically a vocal note, nor can it really be heard by humans. A G10 registers with whales and dolphins, it's actually a frequency. So, that said you can't even consider what she did singing at all. Just saying...
Lol! The fact that Jlo went straight to Aretha Franklin as the person she doesn't sound like. There are galaxies between Aretha and Jlo. Nobody expects Jlo to sound like Aretha. But they might expect her to still sound good if she's selling herself as a "singer." Jennifer Lopez is like Britney Spears. Great performers, great dancers, great looks, highly marketable. Extremely successful "singers" who are not great singers. They're both lucky to have great production teams involved in their songs, otherwise those songs wouldn't do well.
@@NYCKZ360 Nah J Lo is a better singer at least she has improved as her career went on. Britney lost her voice by the age of 16 (she souled her soul to the devil so I have no sympathy for her)
Also does anyone else agree with me on when Beyonce is talking about never being satisfied - I would at least change the phrase to "never settle" ?? I mean "never being satisfied seems like you're saying you're never enough.
Never satisfied is just what any perfectionist would say. People like Beyonce always wanna do better than they did before, hence why she's never satisfied.
Jennifer Lopez isn't that bad what people make her to be. She isn't a powerhouse vocalist but still she can sing and for someone who dances her ass off and gives a great performance, she still has a decent voice. JLo has improved a lot vocally since her debut but people just ignore that cuz it doesn't suit their narrative that she can't sing. People just put her down cuz she's 51 and still relevant while their faves aren't.
He said "I'm in love" when Jennifer lopez sang "Unbreak my heart." 😂 People really don't expect anything from her vocally, do they? Just hit the note and we'll be amazed!! You're ready for the world! No wonder she's under the delusion that she's great at everything she does. She's surrounded by robots who are willing to lie to her for some reason. 🤷♀️
@@aaronnewman7573 look we’re not even mean to her but how we’re gonna put her next to the greats like Aretha, Beyoncé, Mariah, Whitney, and Lara Fabian which it’s insulting because their vocals were consistent throughout the career and Jlo was shaky and off key especially in the beginning of her career. Now I’m glad that she’s improving but that doesn’t mean you have to put her next to the real vocalist. I absolutely love her songs, but admit it, She👏🏾 is 👏🏾NOT 👏🏾a👏🏾 vocalist👏🏾 and 👏🏾that’s 👏🏾that.
@@ShamyaMayaAnimations she’s not a vocalist like any of the people i named of course but damn nobody said she was😭 it’s like y’all can’t give ole girl a compliment without comparing her to some amaaazing singer on an unattainable level
Maaannnnn when I tell you Keke Wyatt's voice is a gift from the heavens up above 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 like her voice is truly AMAZING and that range she has is out of this freakin' world I could listen to her blow them notes out so effortlessly everyday I swear 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 every singer in this video can sang their asses off. Love this video you did an awesome job putting it together 👏🏽👏🏽
She sang with more soul and emotion on her first two albums now she only do that after a breakup or when she’s feeling sexy (body party, I Bet) throwback Cici was a good studio singer just needed it live her overly valley accent take away from it not saying she has to be so ATL but her sounding pop is just never gonna work lol that’s why the new songs don’t stick unless it’s rnb based
Kelly Clarkson can sing but she's damaging her vocals by over singing. She doesn't have to do that. She needs to make songs that she can sing and have fun with. Her old stuff was great but now its like everything has to be over the top. I don't get it.
Honestly I came here only for Mariah and even fastfoward the video but then couldn't help to see how the part came to Jhoe, 15:07. Denial can be a vicious liar to ourselves and often more than not to gives a false sense of identity and even keep us from accepting our true self.
Jessie j showed her powerful vocals and how she's capable to sing and record r&b album she was so good and fresh and btw to those who don't know she wrote all the songs by herself in her last album
J Lo is kind of a pity since her improvement as of late goes to show it just doesn't come naturally for her and she has to work a lot for whatever she does. I was quite surprised when she did Dream On
One thing i hate about Ariana is her breath control. She sounds so breathy every time she sings and nasally but i think she is a decent singer. I love rihanna voice because she doesn’t sound like most artists and she has so much potential. Ciara is extremely basic and she doesn’t have enough control when she sings, i just don’t think her voice is strong enough to carry out a sophisticated song. All the rest of the ladies can sing in my opinion and have amazing ranges and talent. JLo can’t sing 🤷🏽♀️
Idk but Jennifer does not have the range. She just has alot of yes people around her. And if people like jennifer lopez voice, I guess alot of people like off pitch, tone def singers 🤷🏽♀️ . Or her regular speaking voice. Just say you wanna be a relevant entertainer and leave the singing to Celine or Lara Fabian.
i rmb kelly saying in some interview that when it's not her good day she would lower notes cause people won't know it😂 but if they know it she still don't care🤣. we STAN an unbother queen.
6:22 That happen to me as well i use to be able to hit those whistle tones but the acid reflux burn my vocal cords and i never recover the ability to sing in that register, even my falsetto/head and mix voice was afected by this. So if there's anyone that is battling through this please get that treated immediately otherwise your vocal cords will get damaged permanently.
