People are starting to worry about Gaga’s voice

[HermioneT 1,998]

Okay, I think we need to stop being irrational about it, even though it's hard:

On one hand, as some people here already mentioned, it is absolutely normal to have a not so great day (vocally) and that her voice is affected by her general health (which, as we know, has probably seen better days after her fall). 

On the other hand there is no way to ignore that she isn't 21 anymore and naturally her voice has changed. Also we know she is smoking and drinking quite a lot and for me undebatable, we sometimes can hear this showing in her voice.

Only the future will tell if there will be lasting significant changes in her voice (after all it's Gaga and she's unpredictable, so we won't be able to tell if she deliberately wants to sound that way or if she might not alter her voice again, when possible.).

Let me tell y'all something cause I saw a lot of the performances from that night. She sounded great for most of her performances but here's the thing, she talked A LOT before performing this song and got quite sad because she was talking about her struggles and her meeting Owen and from what I heard from her she was giving me the "I might be struggling with things in my life at the moment but if I can make this boy happy for a couple of seconds then I need to keep fighting" feelings and it probably got to her when she performed Paparazzi. She has been smoking for a long time and tbh I would have blamed this if her singing was weird for most times but she actually sounds great many times so her pain, being exhausted, having a rough time in her life really must contribute to her having a couple of moments like this. I think we should cheer her up more

She actually sounds fine. There is no strain in this video. She also makes that face and has always made that face when she is playing piano and singing higher parts of a song. Technically her voice here was still nice and thick( no rasp, good use of consistent vibrato- nothing wrong in this clip. 
 

that being said, she needs to stop smoking, get plenty of rest, and lay off alcohol(if this is even a problem). She is in her thirties and everyone’s voice will naturally start to thicken, get darker and lower around this time- and will continue to do so as she ages. It’s completely natural. It’s up to her how she cares for her voice.

OP is a bit of a drama queen. She posted about her having a breakdown on stage too. Like... What's with the hyperbole? 

Those twitter accounts posting that need to get a life. They know Gaga will see their tweets. 

 

 

[KleinGa 18,177]

Seriously an overreaction honestly. So she has one bad day. To me she just sounds out of breath. Can yall calm down 

[GypsyBabe 22,836]

We all have good and bad days. 

[Felix Jens 180]

If my memory serves me well,Gaga is a human being ,too.

She has her ups and downs,and that’s Okay .

The truth is that she had made a nonstop  use of her vocals over the past five or more years,(when other vocalists they normally take a long time away from their microphones).....

I wish she takes care of herself and her voice too

[skedaddleBItCh 2,809]

Not all the comments under the tweets acting like they know Vocal Pedagogy

 

[Bolkins 4,125]

Maybe she’s giving a bit less at the shows to save rupturing her vocal chords or whatever. Imagine that, more LG6 delays because she sang the **** out of Le vie en Rose too hard.

"when you can sing better than Gaga"

whoever tweeted this lost credibility right there. no one sings better than Gaga. it is simply impossible!

[Sassy McSass 814]

Oh my God. Sometimes it feels like people haven’t been on this planet long enough to realize people’s voices change with time, it’s inevitable. Whether it’s just because of aging, drinking, smoking or the toll singing on a daily basis takes on her vocal chords, Gaga is not going to have the same tone or range forever. I totally understand worrying about things she could do to take care of her voice better, but to the people that just want to bash her for nothing: Can’t we just be glad that even though this process is ongoing it’s still wonderful to hear her sing?

Also, has this “can sing better than Gaga” person ever seen A Star Is Born or The Voice, for that matter? Even if you think you can sing as well as or better than Gaga, it takes way much more than that to be an artist. Gaga has something to say. And she sees those 12 notes beautifully. 

[Nikolai Barrow 1,337]

Anyone who sings that often is going to get strained vocals sometimes. Plus even the best vocalist screw up a note here and there. It's crazy to expect her to sing perfectly 100% of the time. She's still human. 

[Chromaticunt 5,529]

For some reason she's always struggled with that note in Paparazzi, ever since she performed it as a single. In fact she used to go lower on all her performances of it to accommodate her range.

Either way this isn't because she's smoking.  It's just a bum note. Be happy you stan an Academy Award-winning, nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer who has dabbled in like 27 different genres and still slays the game.

I´ve been saying THIS  since Enigma Started back in december 2018, and I will keep saying it until she actually strains a vocal chord (Cause thats whats gonna take until ya´ll realize that she has been having "off days" since the last 20 shows...) 

Her voice is not deteriorating per say, but if you think the quality of her voice has not been on a downward spiral compared to her JWT vocals you clearly are delusional. She´s struggling to reach notes she effortlessly could a year ago and doesnt adlib like she used to. im also a bit worried about her. Her voice doesnt sound as fuller and rich as it used to imo. But I trust that she knows when to start recuperating.

It could also be her technique, but I find that hard to believe considering how classically trained she is. 

At least her voice is not strained, she´s just sharp.
