Not "lucky" at all, and probably why Gaga chose Alex. She does like her dramatic pauses. well that and I was also just getting at how it's actually the style and he knows to do it anyway because he's a professional and that's jazz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually referring to the article where the reviewer basically said it was lucky the piano was so attuned. No luck at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second stop is 5 seconds long, between 2:05 and 2:10, and that felt for me too long yes (timed the video below) BUT OVERALL this is just something that doesn't mean much, the critics had to point it out. The performance was pretty perfect bc she chose to do that, so it was nothing "wrong". It's just about taste I thought she paused to allow time for the cheering tp subside.

HauntingHollow 4,310 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 She is a lyric mezzo, not a single doubt about it, she is most confortable in the middle and that is where she resonates the best, before you say that her resonance peaks at B4 or C5, those still count as middle notes. She has amazing ease at her lows but that is just a unique trait she carries not a result of contralto voice. You can not hide if nobody pays attention to you :* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can't really know the exact moment of the jets in practice, so they just estimate it, hence, the long pause for "brave" Liberaté mi amor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,461 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Dramatic soprano . The usual non sense, i see.. Just because she's covering the sound a bit, she's either a lyric soprano or a soubrette. Her voice has lowered a bit due to age and drug abuse but there's no doubt she's in the soprano fach. The thing is she's singing in her chest voice (as usual in popular music) and that's contralto tessitura. And she's been trying to sing with a fuller voice and going for that covering the sound (bad teacher detected..), aka singing in a artificial manner. She has a light voice. Even if her range can't go beyond mezzo tessiture, at the moment, her natural voice is of a soprano. She is the typical soubrette soprano that matures into a full light lyric or a light mezzo-soprano. The pauses were smart, it gave room for the cheers. She's been the queen of doing this for the last 3/4 years. Bit too much, at times, but it's very effective. And that's the entertainment side of her kicking in. Something you don't learn at Guildhall nor Julliard School Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jazz school teaches this feeling. It's not luck, what kind of dumb thing to say. They were one, when playing together. A great piano accompanist has to do just that. And there were some ornamentation that i think she actually ad libed. It shows great musicianship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can't really know the exact moment of the jets in practice, so they just estimate it, hence, the long pause for "brave" Yeah, the jets had to be coordinated perfectly with the ending so she likely would've had people instructing her (through her earpiece) to drag things out slightly or pause/speed things up, to time it with the jets. This was probably also the reason why she just had a jazz pianist, so they could alter the song as they went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
