Gaga's nasal voice

I noticed. She did it in this:

 

But at a Coachella, she sang it in her normal voice, and it sounds so much better

In the studio version too it's very high pitch nasal and then when she does it live it's s lower tone idk how to explain it lol

I think Joanne is "nasally" because she's fighting back tears. I think it's supposed to sound like she's crying and we all get nasally when we cry. 

I remember her saying in an interview that Mark made her keep the first take of the verses, too. It's intentionally more naturally emotional than most of her recordings, and her technique is less "perfected"

Yes, I have especially heard it on Joanne! Yes, it bugs me. Her voice didn't used to be like that earlier in her career though. Her voice is still wonderful though! 

This, I don't know why people say her voice improved so much when there never was anything to improve to begin with  She's been serving godly vocals since way before The Fame, Captivated/Electric Kiss performance (2005) is a perfect example.

it's a technique she implements in some of her music to add a certain 'edge' (idk the proper wording here lol) to her music. 

Our girl knows how to sing and the gp knows it too by now, and i think adding the slight nasal sound, is a nice change from time to time, cause look at someone like Ariana Grande (not saying she sings nasally). she never changes her cutesy Disney-like voice, no matter what it is she sings. 

BASICALLY:  i'm here for variation.
