DC 25,164 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Listen, I’m not saying her voice is getting worse as time goes on, but this is starting to get to me, it’s like The Monster Ball 1.0 all over again, just without the accent. Her voice sounds so tired and strained, like almost unbearable to hear without thinking it’ll crack or break at any second, especially on Telephone during the chorus. Something tells me she’s not trying to focus on taking care of her voice as much as she did like past tours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geopang 4,831 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 We need to admit that her best vocals were during her jazz era with Cheek to Cheek. Recently it seems like she’s trying to sing deeper for some reason, and it does sound like she’s straining for some notes. I actually preferred the tone she had during TF, TFM, and BTW days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronyoji 2,054 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 hmm i mean, the voice does age, that doesnt necessarily mean she isn't taking care of it. we don't even see her smoking nearly as much either if at all. also, if her voice was straining how was she able to do those ad libs (which stay in the higher melody) while also dancing around? i didn't really hear much strain, just usual dancing awkwardness interrupting her vocals which she's known for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna be rude or anything to you, but every single time a person makes a thread about this, the thread turns into a complete mess. I always see people tearing down Gaga's vocals and I'm really sick of it. People over exaggerate that she can't sing anymore or I can't bear to hear her sing anymore when she still sounds amazing. We just have overly high expectations with Gaga. The last thread about this same topic made me feel so disappointed with this fanbase (in GGD) because they are tearing down her for no reason. You can have an opinion about Gaga, but please try to be respectful. Your comment "like almost unbearable to hear without thinking it’ll crack or break at any second" is very harsh imo.

This is a site dedicated to Lady Gaga and we mostly discuss about her and everything related to her. To the OP, yeah, I have realized the same thing. Tbh, at least for me, Enigma will always be such a unnecesary move in Gaga's career and I'm tired of it already. Gaga seems tired, the show has nothing interesting, the looks are awful and her vocals sound strained. Not to mention how cringey the 2nd act is.

Cassidyfal 758 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Sounds like she's tryna sing loud so she could hear herself. Any chest voice would be hard to catch with that mic. I'm not too sure though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well Gaga recently has used a hand mic instead of a headpiece which means she had to sing louder to be heard and her voice has changed in 10 years... I guess it's just a part of getting older...but she also does a lot of dancing and compared to her sitting at a piano her voice is relaxed and her breathing isnt heavy Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify!

jimmytimestep 2,684 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Also, for those that know legitimately anything about singing, let alone the female singing voice - 'Telephone' is written literally ON the passagio, more commonly called the "break" between a singer's belt, or chest, voice and their head voice. Using this song and this video example is such an nasty ass unfair smear against Gaga, truly one of the best technical singers of our generation. It is a song that highlights the weak points of the voice in any female singer. The notes are written in the range where most women have to switch between head/mix/chest voice. Gaga's mix soars at a high D sharp and above, as well as sits naturally in the chest around a middle A or B. This song requires her to push her lower register (chest) up or bring her upper register (head/mix) down, which is challenging for ANY singer. I'm sure if you were pull up a clip of 'Shallow' from this same show, I'd bet my bottom dollar she sounds amazing. That, or even 'The Edge of Glory', another song written specifically for her voice. Or 'Poker Face', which sits in her lower register. No disrespect, but kindly do not come for a professional if you are not one. And on the offshoot that you are, I welcome your spirited debate. xo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Meister 3,000 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yup, it's true. Since she ended Joanne World Tour her voice has not been worse. She sounds strained, even though she has an amazing voice control, she is not able to hit certain notes anymore. Of course she is getting older and it's so unfair to sing Shallow after dancing, changing outfits and singing for 1.5 hour nonstop. But here's a proof of her struggling during shallow: https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHp259nGGP/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
