Breakdown 444 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 There are many different singers out there with very unique tones/styles or ways of singing; however, there will always some voices we’ll love/dislike more than others. What are your favorites and what are your most disliked voices and why? (You can include mainstream and indie artists) My preferred voices are: ► Lady Gaga. A lot of people pointed out that her voice is nothing special… But they couldn’t be more wrong, or at least, for me. Her tone is not the same as your average popstar and she’s capable of sounding incredible in so many genres, one could argue her voice is truly a blessing. Not only her tone is amazing, but she also has a powerful voice and the aggressive moments of a song can be easily slayed by our Gaga. She also shines when she decides to show a more angelical side of her voice, like when she uses her falsetto. Such a shame that she barely uses the softer side of her voice, but I bet this will be changed with her new songs from her upcoming soundtracks! Some of my favorite vocals (this may not be her very best, but I love them) Spoiler ► Mariah Carey. Mariah’s voice is truly something else. It’s powerful yet so delicate. It seems redundant to repeat what she’s capable of, but for some reason she’s part of the vocal holy trinity. Daydream era and Charmbracelet, where the most powerful and agile she has sounded ever, but even when her voice has been damaged to overuse she’s better than most of today’s singers and her resonance is amazing. I love her whistle, her whispery voice, her runs, her rasp and the angelic harmonies she does. I also love those moments where she’s full of passion a sings in a more powerful/aggressive way. Her voice is almost an instrument and should be preserved at all costs. It is really a treasure. Some of my favorite vocals (this may not be her very best, but I love them) Spoiler (The ending is perfection) Honorable mentions: • Whitney Houston. • Beyoncé. • Etta James. • Bruno Mars. • Michael Jackson. • George Michael. • Ed Sheeran (I don’t like his music but I used to really love his voice before SOY). • Freddie Mercury. • Jazmine Sullivan. I also have many other favorites but those are the ones that come into my mind first. My least favorite voices are: ► Halsey. I don’t like her voice and the way she uses it. I generally don’t like this pop indie kind of singing. Spoiler ► Bad Bunny and other trappers (like Bryant Myers and company…). I dislike his way of singing. In general, I dislike the way trap singers “trap”/”sing”. A failed attempt to make your voice sound more cool and deep that only causes you to sound horrendous. Spoiler ► Natti Natasha. I don’t know what it really is, but she sounds so vulgar and so ordinary. ► Ozuna. He has some bops but his voice is a very high pitched mess. I don't get why so many people like him. Spoiler And then, Gagadaily, what are your favorite voices from the music industry and why (tone, style, tecnique, power) and what are your most disliked voices? PD: Sorry If I made any grammar mistake, I'm not a native speaker and this is my first thread. So starry eyed on the flowery hillside, breathless and fervid amid the dandelions.

River 116,227 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Least favorite because negativity first! Beyonce, cause she screams too much.. Rihanna, I was never a fan of her voice, like it's not a voice of a singer imo Sia, it's cracking a lot and she's really suffering, I'm afraid she's gonna die in the middle of the song.. please help ha Jennifer Lopez, her voice is just ugly imo Adele, her voice is very average, she can hit notes but the voice itself is just not that wow.. Most favorite: Gaga Lana Mariah Whitney Gwen (in No Doubt) Xtina (when she's not starting to be messy) Bryan Adams Pink And more..

GagaMariaSpears 1,627 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I love Beyonce's, Lady GaGa's, Mariah's, Tori Kelly's, SZA's, Kesha's, and Adele's voices. They each have a district recognizable vocal style. I think Ariana has a good voice, but she doesn't have much soul or emotion while singing. Halsey's fake accent comes across as more awkward than anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Lana Del Rey has to be my fave. I love how effortless and relaxed her singing sounds. She doesn't sound like she's trying to sound overly emotional, or to sound different or anything, she just sounds incredibly natural and cool. And when she so delicately and beautifully coos those gorgeous high notes (such as at the end of this song) it gives me chills: The worst has to be Halsey, along with Lorde. I just can't bear those forced accents they do, trying to sound raspy and husky in a desperate attempt to sound "unique" when in fact they just sound like Björk rip offs. (Controversial, but I also can't stand Björk's voice, I'm sorry! I love everything about her art, except her voice) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, she genuinely sounds just as amazing live That rah rah bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
