Katie14 4,828 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think Gaga’s voice has improved a lot recently with the new style of music she has been singing. She is great vocally right now and when everything falls in line, she has some stunning vocal moments. I just think that she can still do better. I think Gaga hasn’t found her sound yet. Sometimes when she sings, she kind of sounds all over the place. For example when she makes this weird kind of whiny sound. Sometimes she does this during the part in Cheek to Cheek when she says, “And I seem to find the happiness I seek”. In this video the she has the whiny sound when she sings, "And": Or sometimes her voice sounds very heavy or her head voice sounds too thin, or her belts sound strained. Its like she is trying out too many different vocal styles, phrasings, or inflections at once or the styles, phrasings, or inflections weren’t practiced enough and don’t sound as good as she intended it to sound. I sort of view her as a loose cannon when she is on stage. This can be good because this makes her extremely fun to watch. She has a ton of infectious energy, spontaneity, and passion. But sometimes I feel like she needs to pull the reins in a bit. There are times when she gets caught up in the moment and her technique suffers, like when she starts borderline screaming or making the odd whiny sounds. Its like she wants to get the words out as fast and loud as possible to satisfy herself and she forgets for a moment that she needs to sound good. I really think that Gaga needs more practice and her voice will become more refined and nuanced. If she continues practicing and taking care of her voice, I think every vocal performance can be as good and flawless as the Oscars performance. I wish I knew more about vocal technique so I could describe what I am hearing better. Also, I havn’t seen her live so maybe some of the recordings aren’t doing her voice proper justice. I am willing to bet that in person, Gaga probably sounds quite a bit better. Can anyone who has seen Cheek To Cheek live confirm this? How do you feel about Gaga's voice right now? Do you hear the flaws that I am hearing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I mean, I have always thought there were little to no flaws in it and that she did those little "baby voices" just for theatricality (see: "love, love, love" in Bad Romance). I don't know though, maybe it's because I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to proper vocalizing? or I'm blind stanning? However, I do know that any doubts I had about Gaga's vocal talent was assuaged when she performed on the Oscars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronyoji 2,054 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 because so many here only think of things in a pop kinda format, we equate shouty/screamy with bad, and her whats up cover at the artrave comes to mind, but really that performance is one of her best. its dynamic, it epitomizes the theme of the song better than the original band even, and her screaming is passion and rock n roll. you think gaga screams too much? watch a janis joplin performance from the 60s. gaga's screaming isnt a flaw its an aesthetic choice. people even complained about it when she did her sting tribute, but that is also one of the best vocals shes done in her career. period.

Guest ARTPOPSlays Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes her voice sounds better live! When I saw her at the artRAVE I was amazed by how much better she sounded. I'm so excited to hear how amazing her voice sounds at the cheek to cheek tour! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddin 1,207 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think what she's trying to do is improvise as much as possible so she can sound very Jazz-y, which is why I believe you hear her to be all over the place. However, in time, I think it'll get better thus making her sound more well-polished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
