Kermit the frog 1,761 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 That's the same thing I'm talking about . Because for THAT performance, she still uses backing vocals. You can hear it at 1:26 when she stops singing for a sec. It's still backing vocals, but they're designed so that they add to her natural voice without overpowering it. She sings the main vocal, but the 2nd or 3rd layer of vocals are done with a backing track softly BELOW her real voice, rather than side-by-side or on top of it. She had backup singers from TMB that night, these are not backing vocals from CD. But yeah, I still agree that if she wants to support herself with a backing track, then use backup vocals only, not the full songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a matter of taste :) . And I have to agree with you; most of my favorite performances of hers are the ones where she doesn't use backing tracks (except for ARTPOP at iTunes Festival). Actually this entire thread is the exact reason why I was hoping she'd start doing more acoustic stuff on tour, but I guess that's out the window now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladle Ghoulash 11,141 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 yes, which proves she wasn't singing over the backingtrack Not necessarily. You were saying that the back track is what you can hear the most and that, when she does choose to yell something, you can hear the volume that her mic is really at. I think what this person was saying that you can hear her yelling over the backing track very loudly in the same way that you can hear her vocal over the backing track.

She doesn't put the lead vocal on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilChromatica 386 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I am really shocked how she's using the lead vocals for the chorus now. I hope this get fixed soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS77 1,628 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 THISSS. AND THERE ARE ONLY THE FIRST SHOWS. CALM DOWN MODERFCKERS, GAGA IS THE ARTIST WHO SINGS LIVE THE MOST Exactly. That's what it is now. Compared to the other pop stars, she "sings live the most." It's a shame because it's not most of the time instead of all of the time. I am really shocked how she's using the lead vocals for the chorus now. I hope this get fixed soon. It really is a shame. You cannot hear live vocals at all during the chorus. It's all the studio vocals. I don't understand how people don't hear it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 GAGA IS THE ARTIST WHO SINGS LIVE THE MOST Lots of artists don't lipsync and surely singing live should be the norm rather than the achievement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Slay 10,996 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Lots of artists don't lipsync and surely singing live should be the norm rather than the achievement This, people act like singing live is so special. Like when I comment that a singer doesn't sound good I get responses like "at least the didn't fake it and sang, you should be ****ing proud that they sang!" I'm like "I wish they faked it, they're real voice is ****" I am really shocked how she's using the lead vocals for the chorus now. I hope this get fixed soon. Can you hear her at all? Is it like that during most of the show? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS77 1,628 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 And for all of you who are all like "You can't make judgments off of can recordings", um...did everyone's camera audio quality suddenly degrade for this tour? If anything, the cameras have significantly improved since 2008, so it's clearly not the fan recordings. You can clearly hear live vocals in "Paparazzi" in every single other fan recording since the beginning of her career (TMB and BTWB included). It wasn't until this tour that this complaint arose. There has not been a single video of "Paparazzi" since the beginning of this tour where you can hear live vocals during the chorus. The cameras have nothing to do with the fact that she's playing studio vocals now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitana 1,781 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 i dont get what so many people have against backing vocals. id rather listen to gagas recorded backing vocals then some dumb background singers that cant sing if their life would depend on it. im looking at the girls from the ARTPOP performance live at jimmy or whoever that guy was You will learn respect!

Kitana 1,781 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 she always used the lead paparazzi vocals in her performances. i can say that since i filtered so many live vocals out of surround multi channels. it just gets noticed when she isnt singing loud enough.

Jeffrey_This_Way 68 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 IMO she really needs to tone down the use of the backing tracks. Her live vocals are what sets her apart from the rest of the herd. The live songs should sound live, after all. Just the fact that were having this discussion proves that the tracks are over abundant and too loud in the mix.

thefamebitch 691 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Every time I have seen her, she had backing tracks but every time I could hear her real voice very clearly HOWEVER it sounds drowned out on recordings. You have to be there to judge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
