jezze0410 372 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A few observations from Gaga's Instagram post: 1. Gaga will be singing the anthem in 4/4 time à la Whitney, rather than the more traditional 3/4. 2. She will be doing it in G-flat major. For reference, Whitney's is in A-flat, so Gaga's is a whole tone lower. The "say" in the first line would be a G-flat, a semitone lower than the "how" in the chorus of TIHTY. The highest note she will have to hit, runs and embellishments aside, will be a D-flat (off the top of my head, it's the same pitch as the "O" bit of the "and them I'm OK" line in DWUW). 3. Judging by the piano part, it will be sung in the conventional pop manner--the chords don't sound at all jazzy/bluesy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsenigma 9,520 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Does that mean she won't sing it the way she sang at the NY Pride? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,348 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Very insightful, ty for the technical info. I always hope she goes nontraditional but I understand why she is singing it straight and why that is the best move for her career-wise God created Adam and Eve, but Gọdga collabed with Brian🎺 and Steve🎷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my pespective, her timbre will sound much better and powerful. The NY Pride is good, but not enough for the Super Bowl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the NY Pride performance was mostly in this key as well--I say mostly, because she started somewhat flat! So this upcoming performance should sound similar, though presumably with new and improved vocals. 10 minutes ago, Judas Oyster said: What does the notes say to us? Is she playing it safe?

Pretty safe, she isn't challenging her upper range at all. The low note is rather low but she has such a great, full sounding lower range that she has been developing a lot over the past year, plus it's the 3rd word of the song so she will get it out of the way early lol. Assuming she sticks to this sheet music, it doesn't look like she will be adding many melismas or vocal runs or anything too flashy. Should be a glorious traditional performance.

I got confused but he said it o.O so that does mean no then maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems that doing the anthem pre-recorded is pretty much protocol by this point, so I wouldn't be surprised (and I'll still love her) if she does...
