KELLY CLARKSON & ARIANA GRANDE x SANTA CAN'T YOU HEAR ME / Voice Teacher Analyzes 

Totally agree 👍🏾

Exactly 💯 Kelly is a powerful soprano.

agreed, because Ariana can go all out without being blamed as a show-off or intentionally drowning her duet. She loves someone who she can have a friendly play with by Vocals and technicalities. It's more fun for her. like for example, she always sings off with Liz Gillies.

Kelly is also GREAT at harmonies, and complimenting anyone she sings with. These 2 absolutely slayed this performance!

Kelly is more of a mezzo soprano

I love Ariana, but Jazmine Sullivan definitely has the best runs in the industry. Ariana’s for sure top 10 at LEAST though 😅

Best in the industry??? Beyoncé, Jazmine Sullivan, Tori Kelly, Yebba, & Brandy are all clearing her

@@teeturnedthepage pop industry tho! Jazmine is R&B

@@Outside4 I disagree lol but I get your point lol

@@AustinnTheSingerr They didn’t say pop. They said the industry.

My only gripe with her is her diction and lack of power. It sounds soft. Even tori kelly who is amazing has a soft voice with lack of power. Most of the powerful female voices have a volume and bass like Kelly c, Christina A, Beyonce, Jenn Hudson, Mariah, Whitney, Celine, even going to 80s Taylor Dayne, Pat Benatar, Heart, Roxette, Etc

@@jaydel3it depends on the song.

@@jaydel3 her lack of diction is just a stylistic choice . She’s Broadway classically trained. Her enunciation is stellar for Broadway performances. And she’s been serving power these last few performances especially the respect performance on The Voice.

I mean, is Kelly nonexistent to you?

@@MichaelTheThinker no one said that

I disagree lol but I respect your opinion though lol

YES.

Yes! I have no idea whether it was accidental or not but I actually like it more than the studio version! Both are great though.

They both can

It’s on purpose. It’s a stylistic choice. And she’s already a great singer. I know people are comparing, because that’s only natural. And I’m not trying to say she beats Kelly Clarkson (although I definitely prefer Ariana’s tone to Kelly’s, personally), but Ariana is still a beast. Sure she has flaws, but so does every great vocalist. I don’t think that means people should downplay her talent. She’s too incredible at what she does, for that.

@@AGEE_95 This is a learning channel, not a fan forum. The literal point is to nitpick and learn... If you want a forum where Ariana won't be 'downplayed' there are plenty of fan channels you can browse. Also you were quick to pawn off Ariana's habits as stylistic rather than habitual. Could you share how you came to that conclusion? And further, isn't an unhealthy habit still bad if it's a choice? Ariana's jaw & tongue tension were visible and audible. It basically runs contrary to every teachers advice... I would also note that, jaw and tongue tension, and a bunch of space in the mouth aren't required to sing with bad pronunciation lol, so I tend to think she's doing it habitually. It sounds like instead of making this about singing you made it about Ariana. I think this should be about the singing.

@@Sloppyjoey1 I made it about the fact that you made it seem as if, her having flaws discounts her actual talent. You can critique an artist, without downplaying how great they are as a whole. Flaws or not, she is still great. One of the best of this generation, in fact. Kelly has flaws, and she’s still great. People make a habit of making Ariana out to be some amateur, just because she has some things about her that they may not like, or they think are poor choices. Which, by the way, not all vocal coaches agree about her tension, or that her stylistic choices are wrong, but that’s beside the point. I feel like was pretty fair to your comment. I wasn’t saying you were wrong, or that your opinion was invalid. But there are some things I respectfully disagreed with. That’s also part of this comment section. People will disagree with you and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean they are saying an artist can’t be critiqued at all. I don’t think Ariana has actual issues with pronunciation. When she’s singing a genre, like Broadway music, her pronunciation is on point because she understands that clearly singing the words in that genre, is a requirement. When she sings pop and rnb music, she loosens her diction. It’s basically like cursive singing. That is a style of singing that she chooses for those genres. It’s actually very common, too. So I’m not pawning anything off. I’m speaking based on what I’ve actually heard of her singing.

@@Sloppyjoey1 It's very obviously stylistic when examining how her voice has developed over the years. Especially with her broadway background. However I find your aggressiveness regarding the topic to hint at bias.

@@AGEE_95 How did I discount her talent though???? I Literally said "I think she's also great but I'd love to see her improve these and become a legend". I also compared her to music LEGENDS like Anita Baker and Toni Braxton... and then for christ's sake, I ended by saying I wasn't even sure if it was on purpose. Literally the only thing I said that could even be taken as a negative was that she has space in the mouth and a pronunciation issue which is something you're admitting she does on purpose lol. It's your right to think it's stylistic.. but where I'm from, style can also be improved so it'd be irrelevant unless you're saying her pronunciation is perfect. I understand that comments = disagreement but you are seriously reaching imo. I said the girl was almost a legend and you turned that into me "downplaying" her because I thought there was a single thing she could improve... I was pretty reasonable imo

Truth! You know who else used to always do this kind of run? Brian McKnight…. And JT as well in early to mid 2000s.

Pinoy momints

Ariana might have a lighter tone, but it still has warmth to it. Not mention so much color.

It's a different type of warm. Ariana's is light, like a soft cuddle, Kelly's is heavy and more like a mama bear's hug 😂

@@inkeriananas this oddly makes complete sense in my brain

He did like a year ago!
