Look honestly no; I feel like most non-gaga fans wouldn't know her voice; it's not like Nicki Minaj or Halsey or anything

Halsey isn't distinctive, she sounds like every other "indie" female pop artist

I want to say yes but then I also think about the times some of her most dedicated fans have been bopping to a song recorded in a twitter insider's basement thinking it was Gaga

Halsey

I wouldn't know the difference between a Halsey, a Bebe Rexa (spell check?), any chick from Fith Harmony, or that other big female group :poot: all these newer artists run together to me.

OT: yes :giveup: if only because she can sing in a million different voices. I think her post-ARTPOP/"Dope voice" has become her distinct sound tbh. You hear a bit of it throughout Joanne and in her performances of the last few years. 

You're stinky

Wait but isn’t Gagas natural voice the soft girlish tone in Red and Blue? 

 

True, but I'm going off this outdated source.

Spoiler

A properly trained singer with great technique. Her belts are resonant and supported well, reaching up to G5 in early recordings, and up to F#5 in Do What U Want. She is capable of rapid firing high belts, (see the last chorus of Marry the Night). Her low notes are very dark and full, but can also mimic a talking voice. Her head voice can be thick with an operatic weight, or light and airy. The contrast in colors in her tone is impressive though her voice sits naturally with a darker tone.

Distinctive, unique vocal phrasing, that allows for her to communicate an array of emotions. Even though she is capable of singing a melisma, she does not overuse the technique to show her abilities. Great legato lines and respectable staccato ones as well. Ability to hold pitches for extended periods without wavering. Her voice can transcend through multiple genres, including balladry, dance/pop, country, jazz and rock.

Her vibrato and placement are some of her strongest points. Her vibrato is wide, controlled with an operatic quality and is executed excellently. Her placement for her belts is becoming stronger over time, there is less strain on her D5's, Eb5's and E5's.

REALITY

It's interesting because I think her voice is both distinctive, yet not at the same time. She definitely has a unique and powerful voice, and I think in that sense, that makes her distinctive and different from everyone else. It's very theatrical and she naturally has a lot of power in her voice and I think in an age where a lot of female voices are defined by this almost "slurred-deepish-whispery" kind of voice, I think her's definitely stands out.

That being said, her ability to sing really almost any enjoy prevents her from being truly distinctive. Because she can sing so many genres like pop, rock, country, folk, jazz, etc. that all have different sounds, for the general public, I think it'd be difficult for them to say confidently "Oh yeah, that's Gaga!"

Also because her voice has evolved so much, I don't know if she's really developed that distinct voice yet. I mean, from ARTPOP to now it's been fairly consistent, but if you compare her voice to, say, something from The Fame or The Fame Monster, it's definitely different. Obviously I can't say now if her voice is going to continue to evolve, however, I do believe that the voice she has now will be the voice she'll have for a while.

YES when it comes to her ballads, but her other tracks not so much. There were times people thought Gaga was Xtina, Katy, or Madonna. Her voice isn’t too distinctive like Rihanna.

She has a distinct voice definitely, but her versatility makes it hard to recognize. 

The correct answer. :golfclap:

No offence to Katy, but none of her songs sound like Gaga's. It's not a jab at her vocal talent, but just the way she sounds.

Yeah people thought she sounded like Christina on “Just Dance” a little and definitely on DWUW. Which I can see. But Katy and Madonna? How has Gaga ever sounded like them? I listen to Madonna a lot and have heard Katy quite a bit and I never thought she sounded like them at all. :oprah:

Well it’s not that’s why lol. To me her voice is similar to Alessia Cara for example.
