You may not like her style of singing (which is fine), however she is not screaming nor "screeching". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying she sang in A key when she sang in E would be false. Thinking she was screeching isn't false. Is screeching even something that's objectively measurable in vocals? I feel like it's not. Well it is. Saying a singer is 'screeching' or 'screaming' when she is belting is so tiring at this point. It's like every artist that has raspy or heavier tone to it is screeching, according to the people that say that. You can just say you don't like the way she sings.

She is definitely belting and I don't know about technique but it's probably on point too. But purely preference-wise: shrill! Demi was belting with vibrato. That simply is not a screech, which is usually a high pitched scream-like sound that is not supported, extremly harsh, has no vibrato,etc. Therefore yes Demi was not screeching at all. I don't mind if people don't like her voice and criticize it, but there is no need to say that she is screeching/screaming which has been used in a condescending fashion between fans.

Screeching is descriptive so it's literally just your opinion vs mine... I recognise that she's belting but I simply don't like the way she's doing it or her tone of voice in this particular song, aka it "sounds screechy" or shrill. Idk about anyone else but when I say screeching I'm not saying she's not singing properly, just that's what it sounds like. I wasn't commenting on technique or her vocal quality on an academic level.

ShayCristoforo 10,223 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think she missed the mark. I feel bad for her, but honestly the song just sounds bratty Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmistTheLight 2,269 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think I would love this as a live performance, very raw and emotional. But as a recording, too many flaws and too shrill for multiple listens. Liberaté mi amor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayure 661 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 People are really on this thread trying to prove that the song/Demi’s voice is bad.... Let people enjoy it. Just move along if you don’t like it This is a brave presentation of vulnerability from a very talented artist. Have some respect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Kosinski 148 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Seriously i hope you all burn in hell that are trashing this. Her live vocals are better but this is such a powerful song and maybe you all should pay ****ing attention to others around you cuz there are ppl who are hurting and struggling and relate to these words that maybe could use your help but if yall don't like something instead of having your opinion and just saying heh it wasn't for me or i didn't care for it you trash it & crucify it and act like lil monstrosities like i just don't understand the need to spread negativity the way some of you all do it's ****ing disgusting tbh. Try being a lil more positive the world needs good energy not negativity. Ok rant over but sorry not sorry i fully stand by everything i said. Love to all though, try it on for a change, it's one size fits all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't any point in bringing more negativity into the conversation when you're trying to dispel some of it with your viewpoint. I do however agree that some people are being unnecessarily negative for absolutely no reason. Sure you may disliked the song, but saying "The screeching " or that she can't sing is just immature and an exaggeration imo. I think the hypocrisy here is that I doubt some of the people saying these things would enjoy it if others said the same stuff about their favorite artists like Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey,etc. All I'm trying to say is, people should be more mature and respectful with their critiques.

bloom 286 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This song, her performance, and the sentiment behind the song are absolutely beautiful. I'm so overwhelmed - written four days before she nearly died of an overdose. What she must have been going through is unimaginable. Clearly very few of you understand mental health and addiction, nor the point behind this song, and it shows. She didn't release this song to hit #1, she released it to tell her story, be vulnerable, and share her heart. Literally grow the **** up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the term ‘screeching’/‘screaming’ is overused to take down female vocalists who sing their heart out and hit high notes. It’s not fair imo. But, let’s agree to disagree!

DiamondAngel 5,044 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I actually LOVE this song and am blown away, but not some of y’all being upset at others having negative opinions... you realize you can’t really help what kind of music you like/dislike? I mean damn. It’s a music forum. People can have negative opinions or think a voice sounds shrill/screamy. I’d suggest taking a break from the internet and going outside of other opinions affect you so negatively? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
