About "Screaming" in Music

Why does every music critic think "screaming" in songs equals bad singing?

I.e. "Perfect Illusion" or "Praying"

It seems that people don't understand the concept of emotions. Songs don't have to be perfectly sung, it's about the emotions they transfer to the audience. "Screaming" is the best device to transfer rage and anger. This doesn't mean that the singer can't sing, it's done purposely.

What do you think?

Depends how u build up a scream

If it happens out of nowhere and sounds like a squeak or a bear groan then forget about ur emotions

It depends on the scream. PI screaming wasn't great but it didn't ruin the song.

I agree with you. People just have terrible taste in music so they listen to Justin Bieber's pathetic attempts at music or that Jacob Paul... :nails:

but on the other hand - artists often think that screaming equals emotions, so..... it's a vicious circle

I think before people criticize people for screaming in music, they need to learn how to differ screaming from belting ;) 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

It's not only about emotions. It still has to sound pleasant in some way. If I wanted to hear anger/rage I could just listen to my parents screaming at each other. So it really depends on HOW you scream in a song.

the screamings in PI are unbereable tho, too loud and unnecessary. Praying is better.

Fun fact: Melanie didn't actually scream, it was somebody else :selena:
