Why didn't drugs and alcohol destroy Gaga's voice?

Dunno, I was thinking about that too

I did, and I saw nothing too tragic like most of you clain to see, except for when she has those fibro attacks which are certainly not caused by her smoking some weed and having a drink every now and then

Do drugs and alcohol destroy singing voice though? I know that smoking does, by drying up and straining the vocal tract.

Her fibromyalgia attacks are still under the umbrella of her "health." Sure, on a surface level it looks like smoking weed and drink doesn't seem like it's doing too much to her, but if it wasn't affecting her that much she wouldn't have made a song like "Dope."

She canceled two tours because of her fibromyalgia and pain. I don't think you understand how severe it can be for her.

What drugs? Prescription pills probably don't do anything. I believe alcohol makes your throat dry but is temporary. Smoking is what damages the vocal cords. That includes marijuana and cigarettes. It also destroys the lungs. Your voice will continue to get deeper, she will have a harder time hitting high notes and holding notes. She really needs to stop smoking.

that stuff was only the past few years, the OP is talking about when she was addicted which was during her first few years and her health certainly wasn't great considering how skinny she was, stressed out, on drugs and then broke her hip

I was indeed talking about at least the last five years where she certainly matured a lot after all the bad stuff that happened to her. Yeah her earlier years were WILD to say the least, maybe being really young and crazy motivated helped her keeping her godly voice intact I guess

She's obviously not doing as much as how some fans are exaggerating on here. If you see her on a party or things like this, you'll probably see her drinking stuff and smoking because that's how she enjoys a party but I'm sure that she takes care of herself too, she also has a medical stuff checking her almost everytime. What we see about her is a small part from her life, it's definitelly way much more than we think and know.

 

It also depends on how your organism reacts to all these stuff.

good vocal training too but she certainly wasn't healthier than the majority of people

She said she used to do heavy drugs

I know that her fibro is a serious issue, no doubt about that. But to me it looks like she's taking great care of her health after her hip surgery 5+ years ago. Unfortunately there's no cure at the moment for fibromyalgia, but I'm sure she's doing her best to keep herself healthy and happy.

Adele is a chain smoker, did that affect her voice? 

[SlaeUrAnus 15,970]

I honestly think she is lucky she has the voice she has despite the recent abuse in the past. 

Smoking can definitely have an impact as Mariah Carey regularly smoked from 12-18 and she lost a couple of octaves, and she regained them when she quit. As for alcohol, I dunno, maybe it irritates the throat

I don't think I've even lost "a couple octaves"

A YouTube video quoted her saying she lost a few octaves and begged god to give them back if she quit smoking. I dunno if it's true tbh, but she did smoke.

Back then absolutely not, but right now I think she is for sure and I'm happy for her tbh. I think she's keeping herself in a great state, both in her body and her mind.
