Pop Singers VS Metal Singers 

How dare you

Her diction and annunciation is just incredible

What the opening son with the guy on the guitar

Sees clickbait Ariana Grande Lady Gaga. Rlly? They both actually outstanding good🤪

@@Chr1sROCKT no

Except Nikki Minaj. She was lip synching

You go simp 😂

@@michaeldormehl5128 no, you go sexist

@@arrolate how’s that sexist lol, it shows women from metal and pop, gender has nothing to do with it

@@funeyshoot2843 what are you talking about?

Hey Floor, it's you O.o

Floor, you are without doubt one of the most amazing singers I’ve heard in my life. You are right though, whether you like the style or not it’s a separate issue, but there are talented singers everywhere.

Especially when they're doing live performances

:O but you are the best lol

Word! If metalheads wish to gain respect, the first step is to respect others. Even if we didn't wish to gain anything, we should respect others. They, too, are only human. And a lot of other-genre-artists are fantastic in their art!

It does help that some of these metal singers have been in music shows on television to show off their skills on different genres. Some of the clips were from a couple of those shows. Don't ask me which shows, I only get such information from my mom. I hate 101% of the songs they choose for such shows. I would love to see it reversed though, to see Ariane Grande, Lady Gaga and Adele sing metal. I bet they and a lot more pop singers would be amazing at it. And who knows, maybe they love it :D

As someone who's sang metal songs before, this is accurate

This is factually accurate, when heard jinjer for the first time live my respect level went from a 10 to a 50. Tatiana Shmayluk can sing with any pop singer..... any and I would put money on that.

​@@air9710how sore was you after your first gig 🤣🤣🤣 i lost my voice and damaged my windpipe. I cant yell anymore because i just start coughing 🤣🤣🤣 i tried man..

@@stylis666 One of the shows was beste zangers where a bunch of Dutch singers come together and sing each other´s songs or songs that mean a lot to them. Floor sang Shallow for a cover artist but two singers on that show actually tackled a Nightwish song, Tim Akkerman with Nemo and Samantha Steenwijk did and translated Our Decades In The Sun.

Katy Perry is a horrible singer.

You are either not a metalhead or trying so hard to have a fair opinion. You came across as a pretentious person. Be honest with yourself, this is not even a comparison; This is straight up slauther. Humiliation is even a nice word for pop shits.

@@captainfantastic3490 A lot of metal singers are indeed top tier talent. They have such strong and powerful vocals. But to say rock singers humiliate pop singers is just not true. Both genres have top tier talent, average talent, and some that are just grasping for fame. Christina A, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Morrisette Amon are all phenomenal talents within their own genre. Even if you don't like the music, respect for the vocal ability should be a given for any true music fan.

@@drae_gon1369 "Phenomenal singers". You are out of your mind. Metal Singers are in another level and they straight up humiliated pop shits.

@Marie Libra I never said that singing in metal automatically makes a singer better. for example Elize Ryde is meh, She's average. but Metal singers in general have been better since 60s. They've been better in out time and they are in another level. We don't know what will happen in future. Dimash is talented tho but he needs to get better.

@@captainfantastic3490 The ones i listed are "pop shits"? Your close mindedness and lack of perception for musical ability or talent is plainly visible for all to see. Your opinion is exactly that just opinion...

yes it is and the po(o)p singers are not half as good as their Metal counterladies,HA!

that's because Metal is more advanced and goes way more in depth than pop does.

Female drummers are the underestimated ones

Wonderfully said Mac.

Male pop vs metal would murder them

Yeah, adding Adele was nonsense. Fil (Wings of Pegasus) just did a voice comparison of Floor with Autotune. Floor wins hands down!

its not about genre fanboyism, its about fake (pop) versus music with substance (rock) and I am not even a fan of rock , I just like any music that has substance and I hate music that is designed purely to rob kids of their pocket money. Can u name 3 decent pop songs from the last decade that have even a little substance? No, I didnt' think so, neither can I.

@@juanmanu9652 The entire Taylor Swift Folklore album?

@@juanmanu9652 cringe

very well put, highly accurate.im not aware of "floor" but will look since you have given this eclectic fan of every great voice i can find a reason to look.

No for sure, everyone here was pretty much just as good. The metal artists were just a little gooder...

metal is still better

You aren't a metal head , you are a wanna be. Tarja for example sings classical....and metal.. That says it all . The only pop artist that could sing really good especially when he was young was Sakis Rouvas listen the song Mia fora. Cu.

@@kafrikotroll8610 It's not that hard to be able to sing classical and metal.

that's bcos pop is people's generic musik nowadays. pop singers are great but metal singers are versatile. pop can only do clean. metals can do clean & roar.

and she can sing classic rock pretty well, beside jazz etc, really talented as a singer!

floor

That's exactly how I feel about Ariana Grande. That girl has pipes!! Lady Gaga is a badass too. I'm not a big pop music guy either, but a few of these ladies have real talent.

@@michaelbannan9972 she is a horrible person

@@richardbissell6909 What makes you say that?

Thinking hes showing the best of both sides.

Does your mom know you're gay?

ariana sing like cat been r@pe by an horse.... and very lame bubble pop with polish. metal female are way badass and high complex vibrato notes

@@Drekt666 With the words "Pop artists humiliated"in the thumbnail, he sure as h*ll wasn't trying to show the best of both sides.

@@MrGul idk, if he really wanted to humiliate the pop artists, he would have shown that one time Christina Aguilera did the national anthem instead of her killing it singing Ave Maria. And when Ariana Grande was singing at the VMAs and her earpiece died, so she couldn't hear the music to keep rhythm. That time Adele was singing someone else's song by her audience's request and forgot the words. There were a lot of chances to show actual embarrassing performances; I think he gave them a fair shot.

Look for Diana Damrau - Magic Flute. That's fucking humiliating...

This will be right up you alley Rev.... Enjoy the Awesomeness !!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgAxpEpEcno.html

My only issue was Lady Gaga. She's a great singer but why did it seen like she was trying to keep her lips looking pouty the whole time? It also looked like she was afraid of her top and bottom lip touching

I think it was just paying homage to metal singers because they definitely are underrated

angela in nemesis would have been the best jhahahahah

Haha yeah the put a smile on my face 😄

And she did a solid live duet with Metallica at the Grammys a few years ago! I'm a fan of both, so seeing/hearing a duet like that was MIND BLOWING. 🤘

@@HJ-kf7zn yea I'm sure metallica liked being set up with no power,lol

@@phantoms-yy5jv Check it out the dress rehearsel from Moth into flame with Lady Gaga. It has the correct mix and is awesome compaired to the broadcasted one. :)

@@Wulfen666 no thanks, don't like hearing singers that lip sync and cheat ppl out of hard earned money 🤷

@@phantoms-yy5jv hahaha very true mate, metal forever.

she is now very weak though, avoids many high notes and sings in a lower register than most of her popular songs

Beyoncé is a better vocalist than Adele... Idk why people are bringing up Adele as if she's the face of pop music vocals... Adle has an amazing voice & has amazing music but she's become overrated now for her vocals... She has a distinctive voice but she's a B+ rated vocalist Whereas Beyoncé is a Star rated vocalist ... Many music critics around the globe consider Beyoncé as the best vocalist in R&B genre.

@@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos Beyonce sucks

IT WILL BE GREAT WHEN ADELLE SING A METAL SONG

I find her pretty annoying

And Tarja Turunen of course too

Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage was classically trained too, but still ended up in a metal band. 🤟

agreed

Well there's Alisa and she can sing in her regular voice and in death metal too

I wouldn't even call most of them "metal" singers because I could actually hear the words 🤣

@@aaroniousairlines9949 No there is tons of metal that has clean singing.

@@darthvader4339 nah, metal is just screaming

@@nobodyofknowhere973 How if traditional heavy metal, power metal, hair metal/glam metal, thrash metal, snd symphonic metal all have clean singing.

Not every musician writes a piece yo convey an emotion or story or message. Sometimes people write a song just because they like a particular sound they can make with an instrument. That's actually the origin of the Pink Floyd song "Echoes", a new piece of equipment created a different reverb with an electric guitar and a song was written around incorporating that sound

@@stevennagy6341 It's kind of the same thing. A person likes a particular sound because it creates a certain positive feeling inside of themselves. That pretty much describes what an emotion is fairly well don't you think? An emotion isn't just love, joy, sadness, grief, peace, fear, gratitude, appreciation etc. It is really any positive or negative feeling someone has. So when you like a particular sound it creates a feeling of pleasure.

Yeah this is why I can't listen to Steve Vai or Engwe Maulmstein for too long. They are undoubtedly two of the most technically proficient guitarists in the game, but listening to constant 'Widdling' gets boring quickly, they both suck as song-writers, in my opinion.

In my opinion that is how usually Metal convey their emotions, loud drumming as if they are having a mental breakdown and some gibberish loud screaming, I just fucking love it But THERE are Metal songs out there that I sure do not like as well, because they are too consistent with their hardcoreness I usually like it when there is just at least a calming part in a metal song then it just bursts out to some intense shits, that way the listener cannot get bored.... But I do listen to Bands whose songs are just full on hardcore, like Xavleg or Infant Annihilator, Converge, etc But that is because their screams are my favorite types of scream The thing I do not like about pop is that they cannot do things like that, things that give you a mental breakdown and just headbang to let all the stress out Pop is just..slow, people can cry over their songs but...it’s just not as intense as I want it to be, y’know? But don’t get me wrong dude, I listen to shit like Muse and I love them, I like their melancholic rock kind of style, I dig it But usually from pop I just...I dunno What I’m saying here is that Metal is not all about skill, that is just how they convey their emotions Metal is all about energy, and if they deliver their emotions, they deliver it strong I guess same goes with pop, but, uh.. Yeah..just don’t dig it But I do understand why pop listeners dislike Metal, because it’s got “no melody” and all that But...whatever, chaos is my music

Music is great melodies being put together to make a sound you enjoy listening to. Talking about emotions and crap is just as bad as talking about technique being everything.

true

what he said

Or Ariana, she has great vocals.

@@al.s.3277 Even not a female singer can easily take down Adèle : just Brent Smith sang " someone like you " far better than her lol

or Lady ga ga

Gaga don't belong there she is performer more than singer compared to other 3 she have average voice

But Floor floors them all 😁😛... she can literally sing anything even better than original... I can dare say that her cover of Whitney Houston's iconic "I will always love you" will be better than the original..

@@heavymetal116 I mean, I will always love you isn’t from Whitney Housten either, because the original is from Dolly Parton.

@@dalia1598 Still light years better than Billie Mumble fans..

@@heavymetal116 exept floor can't sing nemo or wishmaster or wunderlust or Sacrament of Wilderness or sleeping sun or she is my sin etc like tarja :) don't get me wrong i love floor but you floor fan boys and girls are ruining nightwish with you bullshit so pls stop.

Charlotte Anneke Sharon (self taught!)

Tarja and Simone yes, but Floor does not use an actual classical singing technique, it's rather musical-theater-ish

It takes more than being classically trained. It also takes the talent to create the songs that use the vocal styles that will impress people. For instance, Star Search showed that Britney Spears could sing well, but no songs were written for her to showcase that talent.

@@belindamelissa8801 It still is classical, just not operatic (yes there is a difference). BTW, Simone is even further from opera than floor is.

Can say the same about Miley Cyrus. Never cared for her in pop, especially in her 'acting out' years, but her rock and country covers she's done are really good. She should have been a front woman for a band.

same with gaga

@@Soulbreeze Totally. Her cover of Don't Dream It's Over (with Ariana Grande) is one of my favorite cover songs ever made.

I totally agree. Christina has sung rock songs, and in those cases, she has been outstanding.

Entrophany I have thought that many times! If Christina focused on making great music instead of pop that would sell records she’d be the voice of a generation. Commercial music limited her. That’s what I think anyway 🤷‍♂️

I agree man, so much bitter fans cause pop is mainstream

True, even though I dislike pop a fuckin’ ton’ I think we should at least end these comparing shit videos and just get along or whatever

@@reese8050 no I can’t stand the mainstream but it’s like a guy still making Justin Bieber jokes

@@ihateweezer7222 Lol I remember all those "Justin Bieber is gay" jokes from metalheads when the dude was banging all his groupies and their moms.

Elitist are always cringe

In metal, the sound has to be loud and dramatic!

Jinjer - perennial live

@asdas saddasd I think you missed the point of these metal singers. People who enjoy pop mostly just enjoy the vibe of it. Metal fans are very detail and techichnal oriented people. Each and every vocal note is percise and flawless. While the pop divas just don't have the talent and sheer training for it. It's very much a different stage of music.

@@landensummitt909 i think you miss the point

@asdas saddasd I didn't say they have no talent. I love singers like Pink, Adele, and Aguilera. The issue is the trend in modern music itself. The reliance of auto tune and voice modification completely ruines the natural beauty in voices.

Amen, my cow bro. Amen. Or is that a yak? I know my cows, that image is very small and hard to make out. It's wrecking my ability to make bad puns and dad jokes. Two cows walk into a bar. The first says Moo. The seconds also says Moo. The bartender says... Not sure what I expected. Dadman... AWAY!

She is a living perfection. Im not a simp, fyi. Just a raw fact. Among all female singers, there is Floor Jansen and the others.

You misspelled Tarja

I agree

Amén, tan solo escuchar ave María con c. Aguilera es como escuchar a Rob Schneider

here here !!

And i wouldnt really consider adele a “pop” star. She leans more towards soul music. Not everyone in the mainstream arent pop artists

Adele is definitly an amazing vocalist

though with floor jansen genre dont matter she does them all excellently

Adele is miserable and depressing, overplayed and she won't perform live

My dude! Check out Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage! 😩

supercosmic voice bro

She did not mean (she did not mean) to blow your mind (blow your mind) but that sh-it happens to her, all the tiiiimmmeee

Favourite hip hop artists Eminem N.W.A Janet Jackson Miley cyrus Favorite rock bands Metallica Green day Slip knot Bvb Guns and Roses In this moment Halestorm Queen Bonjovi AC/DC Queen evanescence Korn Linkin Park Limp bizkit Rock music has influenced me more than hip hop

does shallow have any key changes or is it diatonic? seriously interested as a well composed song will have at ln the very least, one key change. remember youre talking composition here, not style. i hope it does have one, shes talented but there are levels. its like calling ed sheeran great. no, he just uses the same chord formula in a different key and writes lyrics people relate to. if youre talking composer then j.s. bach is the god tier, we are all below him but these pop artists cant touch the sides. even if they wanted to, the industry wouldnt allow it, hence it is puppet music.

Amy lee from evanescence enters the chat just to play classical piano and soar with her vocals without studying singing at all :)

@@terrybanks5063 you're forgetting Tuomas Holopainen from nightwish , just listen to "the greatest show on earth" you have to be verry close to Bach if you want to compose that kind of song. Or sleeping sun. There are not many of song writers Who can Write or even compose such sungs i think Lady Gaga is good in her genre(her genre is verry wide) but you can never compare metal with pop .

Luckily this doesn't happen inside the metal scene... Oh, wait... Yes, I listen to Metal and go to concerts and festivals. No, I'm not the angry looking guy in the back who is too true for the pit...

Yeah, this video and others like it are pretty stupid. The comparisons are nonsensical at best.

_Thank you_

Definitely this. Also, cherry picking clips of live pop vocal performances which don't represent the singers' full capabilities, then putting those against the best examples of the metal singers, is a pretty low thing to do.

Floor's great. I tend to prefer another word, Tarja

Watch a floor video. Easy.

From the metal side, Floor, Tarja and Simone :P IMHO From the pop side, only one: Adele

@@AngelesBustamanteM Adele is far from the best in pop. She is overrated as a vocalist. People think she is a good singer only because she sings ballads and that makes her stand out in the pop industry. People like Beyoncé, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Lady Gaga, etc. eat her up vocally. I'm not saying Adele is bad, but she's far from the best singer in pop. Her vocal range is very limited and her technique is not the best either. She tends to sing with a lot of restriction and adds strain on her vocal chords.

@@AngelesBustamanteM I add Saron Den Adel to the metal side even since she didn't had professional training, and on the pop side its just Morissette Amon actually.

Metal singers are in another level, Admit it.

Captain Fantastic Sorry but not really, as much as I love our metal ladies. Ariana Grande is actually a thousand years better than Simone Simons from Epica, Simone isn’t as terrible as some people try to make her look like, but Simone doesn’t have a very good live technique, doing metal does not make anyone superior on any level.

@@leonelvargas6001 you are a new and casual epica listener. Simone is better than that kid anyday.

Captain Fantastic LMAO I’m definitely not, I’ve known Epica and Symphonic Metal in general since 2007 and I have seem them live 6 times. Simone has not get ant better from where she was in 2007-08, Ariana is barely a kid, I don’t even listen to her music but she has a lot of time to improve and become even better, musical genre has nothing to do with quality, but most metalheads didn’t grow up from their high school years to understand that.

@@leonelvargas6001 Metal singers are better in our time. They've been better since 60s. Dimash is talented though but he needs to get better.

Yea Adele is decent.

Adele is mainstream pop though.

@@robertomangani3788 She compose meaningful ballads and she doesn't need auto-tune.

@@captainfantastic3490 Sure, I like her music too, but it's still mainstream pop

@@captainfantastic3490 but it's not bubble gum pop

@@hopewonder i said like, but i think i expressed my self badly, i didn't mean exactly like them, obviously i know that you Need years of tought training to sing opera, all i am saying Is that they sound a bit like them, never intended to say they could do opera or that their voice Is as strong as a opera singer

Right. I wouldn't say that pop singers don't have the talent to sing on the same level. They just get limited by their music. The challenge is what makes metal singers more versatile. The music forces them to learn the techniques and to master different styles.

Pop use to be more challenging. The problem with pop is it's about labels selling music and nobody buys enough music anymore that the labels don't actually spend time making stars.

vocally no, i love rock and punk but some of the pop singers have better techniques than most metal singers have. If you know how to sing you will understand it,

You are right about that. I don't think you can find an Olivia Newton John in this era when it comes to Pop. It's more about image and making money. I never thought Beyonce or Katy Perry could sing worth 💩.

My dude, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage. 🤟

Was the title changed or am I missing something?

Exactly 👍

@@apollon755 False

You’ve never listened to Unleash the Archers I see

That's depend your definition of perfection.

U can see it the style of writing the music. Pop music lays the focus on the focals where in metal a vocalist has to "fight" to be heard above the guitars drums and base. And ofc all the other instruments used

And of course, so many pop singers don't even write their own music unlike metal bands.

MetalLover James indeed

Add Brittney Slayes to that list, and I'd be inclined to agree with you.

@@isaiahwelch8066 100% already noted that omission and felt bad about it.

The only thing it proves to me is that, sadly, a lot of metalheads still play the childish game of "metal is better than pop". And all the trashtalking about pop idols. Like damn... Just makes me sad

True. Adele's and Lady Gaga's voice scope is amazing. But if you take them out what's left? I do admit I don't know how Ariana sounds - every pop song is the same for me when it comes on the radio, I just switch to ignore and suffer mode if I cannot switch the radio off. But your comment is the only one that makes sense with one small comment of my own. The style is totally different, while the style of pop music is to serve to the voice - the metal voice sometimes has to fight with the music for supremacy

@@arjanneknol830 Well, metal IS better than pop, of course! Subjectively, of course! :-) People tend to forget that "subjectivity" part :-)

@@vedrangrudenic3228 I can totally resonate with what you said. I'm a real singing and music nerd, i do pop music of my own, i also sing in a metal band AND study classical and musical singing in a theater academy. I analyzed a lot of music, and i think the main issue with pop music is that its most of the time so annoyingly overproduced and uncreative. I feel like the main issue lies within the industry itself, and the focus on making money as fast as possible. There are SO many good pop singers out there, who are mere vocal athletes (Like Ariana Grande) who arent the main problem of this genre. And i hate that people like some angry metalheads cant acknowlegde that. Any trained vocalist can hear that this little woman has a control over her voice like... fuuuck. Would i roote for Floor Jansen in a Vocal Battle agains Ariana Grande? Hell Yes! But i can atleast give her (or any other good vocalist in a different genre) credit for her skills.

Agree. Adele voice is good. Im metal fan, but i like adele. Skyfall is masterpiece.

Thank you for sharing an open minded opinion 🙏🙏🙏

@@markokumpulainen8742 the band "Our Last Night" did a Skyfall cover. Check it out it's good. And yes Adeles version is good and she has a nice voice.

As someone who grew up listening to and playing metal, I've been listening to more pop than metal anymore. There's just as much innovation in pop, the problem is that most metalheads immediately write it off because they only hear the pop on the radio. There's a whole world of amazing pop that's just under the surface of the top 40, but no one ever tries to dig deep enough to hear it And I would also argue that there is just as much innovation and progression in pop as there is metal, they are just focusing on progressing different things than most metal

@@brendangibson8200 Please give me some examples, I'd be interested to hear some good not top 40 music, I know a fair amount of smaller bands and artists and have a list of about 100 or so right now that I need to get to, but I'm always up to hear more.
